Patty, now that you have a home base what kind of trip are you taking? Is this more of your rockhound rambling or are you going to go back and forth to empty the SE storage locker? Do you have anything stored in other locations?

I trimmed around the back door last week and this morning went out to sweep the grass off of the porch before dropping a couple of composition rug and hard rubber mats out there to knock dirt out of before I them hose off. I washed several small rugs yesterday and will sweep and mop the floor in the den and kitchen. I need to do the whole house, but that's where I'm starting. The swept up dog hair, demolished parts of chewed sticks, etc. can go in the trash for tomorrow.

Yesterday I brewed a little pot of decaf black tea but it was forgotten for a long time. I added a little stevia and poured it into a jar to use as iced tea in the evening. I think the long brew intensified any remaining caffeine; it took me a while to get to sleep (now that I've removed it from the diet I feel it when I do get it.) I'll remember to save a mix like that for the morning hours.

Keb, how are you feeling now after the scalp surgery? Do you have stitches that must come out? Dorothy, what is up with address changes and working on the various properties? Sandra, how is your craft material decluttering proceeding, or did you finish that project? How about some of our lurkers who decide to declutter and do the job quickly (instead of reporting out during a slow ongoing project)?
