Decluttering a tiny amount - my visiting friend likes one of the many pillows that are in the guest room, it was part of a set of flannel sheets that were used on that bed when it was my son's room. (I can still use them if she decides to visit in cold weather). Anyway, it's a perfect size and amount of stuffing to use between her knees when she sleeps so I've offered it as something to take with her tomorrow when her daughter picks her up.

Our plans for the printer have shifted to Plan B: the place I planned to go today had a suspiciously empty look in the Google street view so I called - they have the same number but moved to a new town and for now are outsourcing jobs. She recommended a printer nearby the old location who can help.

The TV is on, watching the storm progress slowly toward the west coast of Florida. It dawned on me that rather than building all new furniture and appliances to replace what is going to be destroyed, if the thrift shops across the country could be involved in a transport of used materials to there, it would mean less waste and the big manufacturers don't need to use new resources to make new furniture and appliances when many good looking serviceable ones are already around. It would also help clear out the glut of used stuff in other communities. And people in manufacturing can start learning how to repair items and put them back into service. #WishfulThinking
