Well, the only de-cluttering I have managed is clearing gallons of gunk from my lungs. Thank you, Pau d'Arco, vit C and heat on chest and a warm bed. Thurs and Fri were lost and who cares, Sat I managed to get out to Branches and Roots, music and so forth, but no way I could demo. People kept telling me to sit down so I went home and back to bed. I think people were having fun. But I got through about 4 hours with only one coughing fit.

Sunday, well enough to make breakfast-YAY! Muddled through rest of day, sitting outside in sun for some of it. Washed bedding - the machine did - hung it, took it down and remade bed. Double yay! Having decided this building is just too toxic, I walk outside to the closest door to laundry, put on respirator to go in and load/unload, then carry the wet laundry out that door, take off respirator, and carry laundry about 200 feet around the building to the clothesline and hang it.

Sat in the sun for a while and talked with the fellow who is now developing a tree nursery in the upper field. He gets to use the land - which we are told is about 2-3 feet deep in river rock! - and the tons of wood chips in exchange for helping with landscaping. He marches to his own drummer, planting what and where he feels like it - "But it can be moved"! He has about 1500 trees out there, he says, in pots and in the ground. Anything is better but whether anything will thrive without more soil is dubious. It keeps him occupied and he is a presence, reasonably intelligent and needs someone to talk with. The river rock was put all over the property so trucks would not get stuck in the mud. Even weeds do not grow well on a lot of it.

R worked like a fiend, at least 12 hour days, and has finally closed in the living space. The air cleaner we thought would be for here, gave off a dreadful odour when we turned it on so I need to order new filter or new air cleaner. I asked/ordered/ insisted (furious) him to FIRST remove the rotten wood they pulled out of the roof - and left lying just outside the living space. He said he had and then I looked through the window of the beautiful new door yesterday and "What's that?"   He had stacked some of it neatly on a pallet but "forgot" to remove it. Gone now. "It's only rotten. not moldy."

Anyway, we now have a nice size LR which needs clean floors, hopefully wood someday soon, and a paint job. The long back wall, closing it off from the storage area, is all windows so I need to find some light weight fabric, white, translucent for drapes so we do not look at all the STUFF back there. The purpose was to provide light for back there. It looks really neat but not suitable for hanging pictures!

Really liked Susan's concept of yard sale! My goal for today is to wash my hair and make a dent in the dish washing. Nothing left to use! And find a way to store the bedding in the LR so I can put it away during the day and have the nice futon in sofa mode, in case anyone pays a call.
