I took a large mug out of the basket with DH's stuffed things in, which is his idea of filing!
I took out the digital camera, too. Now there's room for the remaining envelopes, papers, booklets, and stamps.
It looks so tidy, so much better, and I guess it takes a woman's touch to a DH's JUNK, to make things look decent again.
Am trying to gain orderliness to the kitchen, dining room, and great room area, earlier than later, in preparation for DD coming for Thanksgiving.
I also cleaned off the dining room table, re-arranged Thanksgiving decor on the eating bar, so put my list pads and index cards, for routines and "to do" lists, over by my corner of where I record carbs, meds, fluids, and exercise, which are on 2 steno pads. So the list pads, the routine cards, are all off the eating bar, in a quick-to-find and see place for me, which are out of the way of foods on Thanksgiving Day, too.
I washed towels today, too: light ones first and dark ones second. It's nice to be caught up on the laundry. Might do dark clothes tomorrow if I get enough for a load. If not, I'll take the day off from laundry again.
Our power keeps going off, so I'm typing as fast as I can before it goes out again. 3 times so far since later afternoon.
