Well, hurricane season is here!

I only get rid of my things also. If hubby gets inspired, that's wonderful. If something of his is in my way, (can't stay where it is) I ask him to find another place. It actually works better if I suggest a place.

Thank you my friend. I'm getting less dusty every day lol.

Hi all! I've been mia for a couple weeks. It's been a roller coaster ride lately. Hopefully, things are getting more "normal". I haven't been very productive in the decluttering dept. I have started washing the inside doors, trying to do 1 a day. Every little bit helps!

Was getting ready to mop today, moving the little trash can, and other things out of the way. I moved the trash can into the tub instead. All the small cans will be added tonight, soaked overnight, and scrubbed tomorrow. Its been way too long!

Nice resistance Ruby!

Threw 2 more albums out, only pulled a few pics to keep. I never really thought about the fact that I haven't looked at some of them in 30, or more, years. And haven't seen most of these people since high school.

The computer room is next! I just keep seeing things that need to be gone through. I started photo albums, threw 1 out. But I really just need to start in one corner and go through the whole thing.

He's definitely a keeper! :smiley:

Hi friends, got home last night to a clean house! Hubby cleaned, mopped, and even shampooed carpets. It was a wonderful feeling!

I started with my things only. I'm not anywhere near done, but my hubby has started going through his things. Its random, but progress.

@NewLIFEstyle4ME 76lbs is phenomenal! You look that and more! Congrats my friend!

Thanks, my friend. I'm supposed to be there already. Last night (10:15pm) I got a text that my flight was going to be delayed an hour this morning. I'd have missed my connection, so I'm flying out early tomorrow. I'm so excited to get there!

Nice to see familiar faces pop in! So happy you are both doing so well! I'm getting ready to go babysit the grandkids for 2 weeks, so I'll be here when I can.

You are so right! I had 2 dressers and 3 trash bags, full of yarn. I made dog/cat rugs out of all that I wouldn't use, and donated them to shelters. They were thrilled. I still have 1 dresser of yarn, but will use that.

The ocean is 20 minutes away, lol. Holiday week (Independence day is Thursday) so I'm staying as far from it as possible. LOL. I'm good, just doing what I can, where I can. The computer room will shine! Love you girl :)

Wow! Everyone is doing so well! Me, not so much. This is another 100 degree week, so I'm cooking dinners before 10am, and lights are off unless I'm in that room, doors and blinds are closed. When its this hot, the ac has trouble, so I'm piddling around in the rooms I can see in without a light. Maintenance and office work…

:smiley: So exciting! I'd better be burning something other than wood! :D

Spending the weekends burning wood at the rental house. Hubby's sawing wood, clearing the yard, and mowing.

That's a good idea.

Yep, that's me, 3 ring circus. I might have it down to 2 rings at least!

The stairs one made me laugh out loud!

This week's decluttering is the bathrooms. Not a lot of decluttering to do in the spare, so I scrubbed the tub. :)

Progress indeed! Congratulations are in order, for making such hard decisions. Its heartbreaking sometimes, but as you said, better for someone to love it.

Update: I filed paperwork for about 10 minutes, then went and cleaned the kitchen. Hubby and I watched a movie tonight, too. Thanx for the suggestions!

Thank you Cory, these are also great suggestions! I'm going to go do paperwork filing for 5 minutes, and go from there. :)

Thank you my friend, I think its sleep related. The links were informative, and I love the old movies idea!

I don't know why, but all my "get up and go" got up and went! Gotta find something to inspire me!

It seems never ending, I agree, but the freedom of ridding yourself of unnecessary things clears your mind. I'm hoping that if I get through everything, I'll have some sort of system to keep it up! I'm trying to establish habits as I go. I've slacked off, but trying to add something at least once a week and maintain what…

@NewLIFEstyle4ME by becoming such a big loser, you've become a true Winner! Congratulations my friend!
