onebyone - Oh GREAT and thank you!! I'm glad this thread is still going and I'm glad that things were cleaned up with the date.
Well, I didn't get much done yesterday... so, here is my list for the week. I will [X] off once I've completed the item.
- Dishes and shiny sink (nightly is my goal).
- Kitchen counter top, island, table -- cleaned off and put stuff away.
- Breakdown and clean up 4 shelves and take to friend's
- Clean up my "nest area" around my chair
- Organize and purge dresser drawers (put clothes away)
- Clean out Frig
- Photograph things to sell
- Clean oven
- Total Bathroom (thankfully it's very small
)
A friend's husband cleaned out her bookshelf and gave me all her books (she has dementia). I went through one box and kept out 21 books. Since I've been retired I have read a ton of books... mainly mysteries. I have decided to invest the time to read my friends books as they are more beneficial for my emotional and spiritual well being. I still have about 8 boxes in my van to go through. Once I've gone through the books they will be donated to the church library or sent overseas to a mission work in Liberia.
I hope I haven't bitten off more than I can chew. I don't want to set myself up for failure. I figure the more precise I make my goals... and if I publish them... I will be more apt to do them.
Lexxiss: good job on putting the beads back for easier access once you need them. Sorry about the eviction notices... that always makes things more difficult. I hope you had a terrific time with your family.
silverbirch: Safety for your unplanned travels. And WTG on clearing off your desk
Atta Girl!!
nationalparker: must be "clean the work station" week... both you and silverbirch have accomplished that. You say it's the busiest time... so, I'm guessing accounting work. Thankfully, I'm retired, so no more work stations to clean... or projects / paperwork to finish up for others. Just my hoard of paperwork (yikes! I could have an avalanche and they might not find me
) The robe sounds beautiful... from your mom
I understand the sentimentality of things. I have 3 - 5 bins of my dad's stuff... I just don't know how to manage it... not to mention his and my mom's pictures... TOO MUCH!! (breathe Gail... breathe) ... One day at a time
Enjoy your week folks... and be kind to yourself
