Subject: RE: Declutter & Fitness - Clearing Out the House
Makes me tired just reading all of that, Dorothy!

I started carrying limbs from last summer's tree trimming out to the curb. I missed the last bulky waste, I don't remember why (probably weather). They won't pick it up tomorrow but they'll note that there is stuff to be picked up, so I can drag more limbs out tomorrow. Today I started on the small stuff, tomorrow I'll take the bow saw out and cut the too-long pieces into the appropriate size they want at the curb.

I'll also take out some of the old fence pieces, but in the process I'll cut some to the right size and set them at the side of the garden where the existing planks supporting the raised bed are about rotted, and they can go to the curb. Looks like tomorrow will be busy out-of-doors.

A couple of more of my eBay parcels are listed, and my fitness tracker actually noticed a dog walk today. Meals were gluten-free and gut healthy, and the dogs were pleased to have broccoli on top of their dog food. It was a productive and healthy day. When I do the walking activity with my hands full (like carrying branches, or holding the dog leashes) I have started wrapping the tracker around my ankle far enough down my sock so it stays put. That picks up the movement that the device is meant to get when I swing my arms walking.
