Up early today to run up to Susie's to let "The Girls" out. They were happy to see me but felt I missed a major reason for the visit - morning is meal time also. Susie said she'd feed them later this morning when she gets home (they have quite a routine - different amounts and two different types of food, and each dog expects their bowl to be in a certain place.) Last night I had the bowls in my hand and I moved to each point in the kitchen and when a dog went to that spot expecting to eat I put down their bowl. :) My three eat in a line, fairly close together, and they wait until I tell them to eat. I'll have to teach Susie's dogs to do that also. It's very handy.

I made headway yesterday, crossed a few items off of my list. I paid some bills, paid the property taxes on the minerals, closed out the Sprint account and the former electric company account. I can see the desktop (not completely clear, but better) at the computer and on the other work desk. Dishwasher running, laundry will go in a little while. Watered the broccoli, and I'll be out working on the potato mounds later. I forgot to buy mackerel but I need some to make a fish slurry to put in each mound. It really made a difference last year.

On Friday I caught up with a couple of episodes of Sherlock that I somehow missed - they streamed on NetFlix. I'll watch the first season 3 episode on the PBS site, I recorded the second, and maybe I'll be ready to watch tonight's program when it comes on. I decluttered my computer of some back episodes of a couple of programs that stream from NetFlix. One reason for clearing the hard drive and for setting up a new system for the USB hub is that I'm switching to using Camera Raw for my photos and that takes up a lot of space in a hurry. Memory is cheap, and I'll probably get a 3 terabyte drive for photos, but I need to see how I'm using what I already have, and some aren't connected right now. And I need to do a backup of my C: drive. Virtual declutter.
