Hey all! Just thought I'd see how everyone is doing. Its been hectic here, hoping to get back to decluttering tomorrow. Hope you guys are doing ok!

Its like a doll house (Barbie), but is a castle. Its made of plastic canvas and yarn. Its 2 story, with 6 rooms, turrets, gray stone (looking) outside walls, and furniture for each room. I have to stitch everything together. It'll be about 3 ft tall, the length of a kitchen table, and about half the width of the table.

I'm loving the inspiration! I've gone through 3 more boxes. Washed some baby blankets and sweater sets that people made for my daughter (34 yrs ago). My neighbor's granddaughter is pregnant, so I'll pass them on. Going to consolidate the castle into 1 plastic tub ( hopefully). After I get the bedroom set done, I'll start…

Went through another box today. Some of the things I'm finding in these boxes! I guess they we important to me at the time, but...

Dh went through the box yesterday, he got rid of a lot more than I expected. I have boxes of castle parts in the back room, and he brought 2 of them in. I've been dreading looking at these, expecting everything to be ruined. I was excited to find everything in pristine condition! Needless to say, I didn't get rid of…

Good for you! The inadvertent cleaning is the best! I always love to get something unexpected done.

I really need to do a cleaning schedule for daily and weekly.

Well, the box dh brought in, for me to go through today, is apparently his stuff. He's going to go through some of it tonight, and bring another one in for me to go through tomorrow. Progress being made!

I keep planning to go through my decorations, but get distracted by the million other boxes I have. I'm trying to get through a box a day, successfully most of the time. We are planning to move in a couple years, and I don't plan to take anything we don't use.

@NewLIFEstyle4ME its great to hear from you! You continue to inspire me by conquering the trials of everyday life. Well done!

I went through a kitchen box from the back room. I threw almost all of it out. Salvaged a few things that I will use or give away. Hopefully, I'll get another one done tomorrow. Found a church that seems to still be collecting for the hurricane victims! I have a lot of kitchen items in boxes in the back. Someone needs them.

It really has. I'm hoping to post more often...as in get my butt back in gear. Time to get the holiday closet cleaned out!

I think she's taking a break from computers. She said she was going to enjoy her new energy, and put it to good use. :)

That's a great idea!

I'll be home on Thurs., and hopefully will get back on track. My dad had a pacemaker put in unexpectedly, so I've been with him for 2 weeks. He's doing great now, so I'm comfortable leaving. My brother lives close too.

Maybe a thrift shop will take some?

Its been a month, and my pulled muscles are finally trying to heal. Chest muscles are horribly sensitive! I went through a tube of Ben Gay in that time! I'm hoping that tomorrow I can go through a box, while I watch hockey. Please God, I sleep more than 3 hours.

Good for you! Attitude changed everything for me, I'm glad it helped. :)

I've felt the " I'm stuck with this" attitude, and its depressing as hell. I did what you are planning, a certain amount daily, but told myself that " I get to do this now". It really made a difference. Thanks to @NewLIFEstyle4ME!

@NewLIFEstyle4ME, we cook most of our dinners. I've learned to make a double batch of the ones I can freeze. Freeze half, and I just have to make noodles, rice, or just heat and eat. Depends what it is.

I've been maintaining what I have accomplished, because I pulled a muscle (or more). So, I haven't had much to add. I am enjoying reading about everyone's victories. Keep it up!

I bet it looks great! I'm still working on my kitchen, its easier as things get sorted or gone.

My hubby has started looking at his stuff, for things to throw out, when he takes out the trash. I guess it is contagious. :smiley:

So happy for you little turtling friend! Glad to see you here, but also glad you're oot and aboot! A good night's sleep would be a miracle for me, but a great thing to strive for. I like the idea of going to bed earlier instead of staying up for the sake of staying up.

I've been so much happier every day. There's a peacefulness that comes from it. I have a long way to go, but even 15 minutes a day, makes a huge difference.

Exactly! I am constantly amazed by things I'm finding, that I look at all the time.

Cleaned out the expired meds today. They are soaking in a Ziploc bag of water, I will throw them out in the morning.

ANGEL WINGS INDEED!

I saw this on the news, I hope someone comes forward.

Congratulations! What a great accomplishment!
