Shopping after dark isn't something I usually do, but I got part of my list taken care of. And I parked near the entrance under a parking lot light.

For declutter, it's difficult to see your house through someone else's eyes, but this morning I gazed at the kitchen and ended up taking an old magnetic dry erase board off of the fridge. A start. I haven't used it since the kids graduated, it kept track of a few events we all needed to know about. Onto the buy-nothing page it will go just in time for back-to-school.

At the same time I noticed a list from 2020 that I asked a friend to send; he was going through cancer surgery and I wanted to know how to reach someone local if I didn't hear from him for a while. Either to get an update, or to alert them to go check on him. I'll update that list with my nearest neighbor also. I used to have them for neighbors on each side and across the street, now the new folks on the uphill side have a sibling up the block and the folks across the street have children coming regularly, but for them I should probably get that updated info.

I've been seeing walled-sized cards in Instagram ads - "if something happens to me, my pet is home alone." I guess I should have something in my wallet with that and refresh the feeding instructions and list of vets, etc., for just in case.
