    The left side of the attic is clean. I have a box of stuff for goodwill. I am having a cup of tea and giving my knees a rest. I can not stand in my attic. Hubby put plywood down and installed pull down stairs in the upstairs hall so we could store stuff up there. I have been making good use of the space. :)
    My couch is piled high with winter coats, I think it is time to donate some of them.

    Wow, that was pretty fast, Jo. Nice of you to donate coats...I'm sure people can use them with the cooler weather coming in. We are not going to put anything in our attic...it's mostly just the space under the roof and filled with beams!

    Good morning!
    Good idea, Irene....I always seem to put things in closets first....that will be a good place to start. :)
    It's supposed to go up to 68 and be partly sunny today. Yay! Enjoy the weather.
    Have a great day everyone.

    Good morning;
    Attic is all finished. :) My car is full of stuff to take to St. Vincent's. Today is errand and laundry day and if I have time get the oil changed in my car.
    I did 2 miles with Leslie this morning. I know when I go back to work I will not be able to exercise in the morning before work. I would have to get up at 2 am. :o
    Enjoy your day. :)

    Hi
    It was in the forties this morning when I went out for my walk. I am thinking of going to the nearby party store to see what they carry tomorrow morning.

    Have a Good Week

    Hi Vix
    That sounds like modern truss type construction.

    Hi Again
    It is supposed to warm up nicely here too. That will make me happy :)

    I built shelves in the basement for storage years ago. 2 by 4s with plywood for the shelves.

    Cheers

    Hi Irene
    I know what You mean. Somebody to come in and take it away for free would be great, We ended up calling 1-800-got-junk.

    Have a Nice day at work

    Hi Again
    Way to go, donate. A couple of years ago the church had a clothing drive that we cleared out a lot of things to. That way dual a benefit, decluttering and the church had some benefit from them.

    Just think, now that the space is empty You can start filling it up again :)

    Have a Nice Day

    Good Morning;
    Irene-I feel for you, retail is a tough business around the holidays.
    Roger-The attic is far from empty. I still have a lot of my kids stuff stored up there, the christmas decorations and
    other things I am not ready to part with yet.
    Vix-I have been trying to stay busy,because when I am not I tend to snack.
    I did 4 power miles with Leslie this morning. I don't feel as stiff in the morning since I have been exercising.
    I have to go to the post office today in order to get permission to move our mailbox. It is only a matter of a few feet,from the wall to the door. We want to install a slot in our breezeway door.
    Enjoy your day! :)

    Jo, I know what you mean. It's better for me to stay busy too, even better if I can stay out of the house! Mailbox slot in the door sounds really nice. Our mailboxes are all at the end of our driveways. Mailmen only come to our porches/doors if we have packages.

    Hi
    I walked this morning + 1 Whole Penny :)
    It was a better day than yesterday outside during the walk, I ended up taking the gloves off and my hands were OK that way.

    Have a Good Day

    Hi Irene
    I agree, the weather outside today was beautiful :)

    I worked 53 hour days for years and I know how little I enjoyed it.

    Good Luck

    Good afternoon;
    My new front door was installed this morning. Old shingles are still being removed. The post office said I couldn't put a mail slot in the door, so I went out and bought a new mailbox and it will go back up where the old one was.
    Irene-congrats on losing 2 lbs and finding 11cents. :)
    Vix-have fun a painting class.
    Roger-should be a good day for a walk.
    I only had time for 2 miles this morning. I got a late start and had to cut my exercise short, so I could take a shower and get dressed before the contractors came. They arrived a 7 on the dot.
    Yesterday was hubby's birthday and today is mine. We went out to eat last night at our favorite restaurant.
    Have a great day! :)

    Hi Irene
    You are doing better than I at finding money lately :)

    Mr. Scale has been staying in a holding pattern this week. I hate plateaus!

    I know You will miss those walks and the calories they burn too.
    Good Luck

    Hi Vix
    I agree with Your assessment on the day. It is supposed to be in the 70s again today, I actually ran the AC for a while yesterday to cool down the room. Maybe today too. Not sure yet. So far house is nice with neither heat nor AC needed. I love this time of year.

    Cheers

    Hi Joanne
    That is something I had not thought of, was the Old Mailbox on the House/door or out at the curb? Parts of my town have Mailboxes at the curb, some are located in clusters and most have them on the house. I had been thinking a mail slot would be nice. I already had the second address line under the street address marked deliver to inside of Porch and UPS and FedEx both are good at that, they even ring the doorbell or knock on the door, USPS mostly on the porch depending on regular mailman or temp...

    I do good to make my 2.75 miles a day usually, How far short were You?

    I hope Your Hubby's Birthday want well and I wish You a ffh.gif

    Have a Good Time
    Roger
