Sandra, I have an image in my mind of a stiff pancake attached to your hand with that interesting office production method. :-)

MaJoC, what kind of mouse do you use? I've used a track ball (thumb) for so many years I can't remember how I picked it up or what I was doing that made it seem a prudent choice. My complaint isn't about my hands (now, though earlier this year with the PMR flare-up stiff hands and a mouse that didn't seem to work were the earliest clues) but with the software that comes with the trackball. They used to have a way to set it so there was a tail that you could adjust (to see where it was when moving across the screen) and set the speed. I've looked and those features are no longer available so the trackball seems sluggish.

A parcel of old Tupperware canisters left the porch this morning. I'd lowered the price again, to the point where they were going to come out of the box and go to Goodwill pretty soon. This is a slow-motion declutter.

I missed the morning trash pickup, but there wasn't much to go out. I've made a point of filling the trash can twice a week much of the summer but now need to look around for more to discard. The garage would be a good place to start.

Since I have made more donations to various political and environmental causes, and they all sell their mailing lists, I find that lots of groups are trying to get on my good side by sending me calendars for next year. They're much more attractive than what the health insurance company sends, but I have maxed out on the number of places where I can use them. I'll be offering calendars on my buy nothing group later this year. I shred most of the address labels now. This isn't a new practice, and the free stuff varies. Postcards, little pads of paper, stickers. My great aunt died in 1984 and when I worked on her estate found she got solicitations from lots of Catholic charities and they all sent her rosaries. She set them aside and I dropped them into a box as we sorted in the house; there must have been 20 pounds of beads. I don't remember what we did with them, her handyman might have taken them to a church?

The "Groovy Records" jigsaw puzzle has finally been completed. I posted a photo on FB and Instagram and offered it to a couple of Mudcat friends who stay here for a night or two on their trips through Texas. I'll be mailing it to them tomorrow, and perhaps two heads are better than one at solving it. That was the hardest puzzle I've done in a long time, but the good news is it's another thing finished this week.
