Lin, don't beat yourself up for backsliding, simply find an equal number of books, plus one if you want to get ahead, and donate them somewhere.

I was mowing the back yard last night and made a mental tally of things to trim and move because I have to trim around or move them every time I mow. The stuff I kept to use "one of these days" should either get used or find a place to live where it won't be in the way. My yard work will be easier.

I'm busy, but can still manage small steps. At lunch today I'll escort some of the stuff I want to discard out to the pickup.

When I have finished this work I want to end up with a table setup that can be easily moved out the side door to enable baking (to avoid heating up the house in this hot weather). I have a Dutch oven that will work perfectly, and there is a GFCI plug beside the door. It's getting to that season, but the adjacent room is still too full to put the oven and table where they should go.

It looks like we're all feeling some frustration at not being able to see more progress from all of our work. What's a solution? I may try for a big Memorial Day weekend push. Anyone else?

Chocolate?
