I have old sneakers to drop in the recycle box. Also, medicine cabinet, towel ring, and toilet paper holder to donate.
We missed trash pickup last week when we were out of town. Dh would not let me put it out early...he says that is like putting up a sign that says "We're not home, so go ahead and break in now!" He is probably right, but I hate having the trash all piled up.

I dumped all the waste baskets into the tall kitchen garbage can because Thursday's pick-up garbage day and DH will take the can up tomorrow.

I hung up my gown and lounger dress in our bedroom and put dirty clothes in the utility room laundry basket. Later, I tidied up my office.
We're doing wonderful at keeping the dining room table tidy. We have the place mats on and put on silverware, and napkins after each meal. It looks nice. Dgs-9.5 is so helpful with the dining room table!

The bedroom is all tidy, clothes hung up, bed made very pretty with decorative pillows. The security system installer will be in there today. Also, the master bathroom is tidy because the shower door installer comes tomorrow and nobody's been taking showers in there because of no shower door. 
The dining room table is made pretty and prepared for the next meal, so it is nice. The eating bar, the end tables are tidy and nice-looking, too. It's a "challenge" with company, to keep up on everything, but it's really keeping me moving and proactive, whereas the housework is concerned.

At night, the boys sleep on the sectional sofa, so the pillows to the sofa end up on the eating bar. The boys are really good about putting the pillows back, the blankets back into the bunny room with pillows they slept with. It's nice they declutter. It's very, very helpful.

Today HRH and I reorganized and purged in the cabinets of boxed food, the cabinets of canned food, and the refrigerator and freezer. We had a tall kitchen garbage bag full to take to the trash. He said he really wanted it done, but didn't want to do it without me. Obviously, we had a few sad moments tossing some items that were solely for my ddad's use. But it was the right thing to do. The kitchen is more of a perishables/priority area than other areas of the house.

Way to go gals! I dropped off a few things I had loaded in the car trunk.
Got some undies that were the wrong sized showed too much of a line;
all but one are still in the wrapper so I'm going to donate them and keep the one pair. So they are in the car trunk now.

I decluttered the top of the bunny room desk where grson-9.5 was working. I put everything away, so it looks nice once again.
DD is moving next month. She's bringing me books she's read, books of mine she's read, photograph albums of her Gma and I need to make room for items. So it is time to declutter what we DO have, to make room for more,
while it possibly could be only temporary for a few years or so, she said, until she gets more room.
I cleaned my office and the bathroom's cleaned up for the shower door man coming on Friday, too.
