I cleaned out 2 kitchen drawers today. Surprisingly, I didn't have to get rid of a lot. My spice cupboard is not working, so I am trying to find a drawer to put them in! At least 2 drawers are washed and sorted! :)

I have the house back to bad as of today. Tomorrow I will start again working toward better :). Hope everyone is having a good weekend!

This was an interesting read. I'm not close to this, as far as reaching my goal, but it reiterated taking measurements. I will be doing it today! Or is it better to measure in the morning?

@NewLifesyle4ME congratulations, you continue to inspire me! I really should take measurements. I have noticed that the decluttering has been making my clothes looser.

We have power! Sending up a prayer for all the workers from not only NC, but all 17 states that came to help! God bless them all!

@NewLifesyle4ME I'm looking forward to seeing those videos. We are still without power, but we are hoping it'll be on tonight. 6 days is hard in this heat. We have a generator, so we can run some fans, thank God! No damage here, but my house(inside) looks like a hurricane hit it! Will get it back to just bad when I can…

We are through the worst of the wind 3 more days of rain to come. We shouldn't flood at our house, but 24+ inches is a lot. I'm not really afraid, now if it was my daughter here, I'd be freaking out. 😆 Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. I'll check back when I can! <3

Florence is moving in. We still have power, winds increasing, and constant rain. Here we go! I'll check in as soon as I can. You all take care!

Melatonin might help

@ Snowflake1968 thank you. We are 2 days away from the actual storm, but preparations are continuing. Board up windows tomorrow and we should be done. First storm symptoms begin tomorrow afternoon. Once we lose power, I won't post until the hurricane has passed. Have to save battery to let family know we're ok.

Spent the last 2 days packing in case we leave. Still undecided, but ready if we should decide to go. If we don't go tomorrow am, we aren't going. I did take a break yesterday to see a movie with friends. I'll post when I can :)

Girrrllllll...I almost choked on my water, after reading "Sitting here worrying that hurricane Florence may be about to declutter my house for me." This is soooooo serious, but I am cracking up over here at you talking about the hurricane decluttering your house for you :o ---that is so FUNNNNNNNNNYYYY :D ---help me LORD,…

Sitting here worrying that hurricane Florence may be about to declutter my house for me. The"fish storm" is now projected to make landfall within 20 miles of us at cat 4. Of course this can, and hopefully will, change daily. I'd rather declutter myself, just saying. Busy next few days, on a positive note, my porch and yard…

I hope you aren't too sore tomorrow! Good lesson for all of us.

I am also taking it slow. I want to be able to maintain, not just slide back to where I was. I do have my impatient days though.

I'm so impressed! This is an amazing, wonderful accomplishment! Congratulations! Thank you for giving hope to someone who needs it oh so badly. I'm smiling so huge for you!

Organized my spice cabinet. Got sick of pulling everything out trying to find one! Needs some tweaking still, but its better. I was ready to throw them all out.

Congratulations!

I have another 10 dog rugs/beds ready to go! Will deliver them sometime this week. Still have a lot of "scrap" yarn but only about 1/3 of what I started with. The rugs are getting uglier, but dogs are colorblind. :/

Don't give up! I was drinking 9 beers a night last year. I'm down to 6 or 7. Every night. 1 less drink is still less. No one here is judging you.

When going through my old cards I sorted them by who they were from. Then went through each pile and kept 1 or 2. Got rid of almost all of them that way. After awhile I could get rid of the rest.

I cleaned out the freezer over the fridge today. What @IHaveMyActTogether said about flow made me reevaluate what I keep there. Now as I clean out the rest of the big freezer, a veggie that I use regularly will go in the small one. Better use of space and easy access too! Thanks!

I heard something today. "Small steps are ok as long as you're heading in the right direction." Seems to be what you were trying to explain here. :)

I used to carry as many grocery bags as I could, into the house. Now I make more trips. Doesn't add a lot of time, but adds steps.

I posted this because when I found out that woo meant disagree/dislike I felt bad for having used it. Just letting people know what it is. I'm happy to listen to your thoughts, you make some interesting connections.

Go to whichever challenge you are interested in and type in the reply box at the bottom. Good luck! :)

I choose to take the"woo" as support, many people don't know Its not a good thing. I didn't for the first 6 months on MFP. Thank you for your support. :)

@RubyRed427 and @elsie6hickman thank you for your warm thoughts. He was with us for 12 years, there are reminders everywhere. He was loved.

Today I stayed busy cleaning up the dog's areas. I'm thinking I'll donate his bowls to the shelter. I have 10 more dog rugs/beds finished so it won't be long until I go. Its been a productive cry day.

Oatmeal with fruit is healthy and tasty
