I took breaks from crocheting a hat, every so many stitches, dumped all the trash in the house, and did 1 LOL, which is drying now.

I made calendar reminders, to do on housework, like the bathrooms, offices, dust, dust mopping, etc...

I hope to be able to report by the day's end OR in the morning OR sometime Monday, how I made progress. It is slow, because I'm watching Pro-Football with DH today, am crocheting the hat, and stuff.

I don't want to get too far behind, although we don't expect company, but we need to do our weekly maintenance of our home, for us, and in CASE of drop-in company. :idea: :idea:

Tidied:
- the dining room table,
- my great room,
- my small office, but needs more work.....

I'm wearing lounging pajama pants, I didn't KNOW FIT ME NOW! Went to our closet, found FOUR SETS, washed them, and they're now drying! :P It'll be fun to wear something casual for doing housework, LOL, and crochet. (Needing to take it a bit easy this week, too.) So the lounging sets will be pretty, cute, and perfect for at-home use. ;)

I also have 4 knit pairs of lounge pants + 2 heavy fleece pairs of them! This isn't even counting 2 pairs leggings or fleece pants OR JEANS either! Wow! I'm set! :mrgreen:

good for you d friend.

I am having a Clutter build up right now. I don't care for it. I need to refocus and concentrate on de-clutter tactics to give me peace of mind again :D

goal today:
look for garbage and get it out of the house
look for donations and get it out of the house
it is always a joy to be here with you!

Dusted the main office, stripped the art table desk in there, of photographs in frames. I put them in the main office closet, dusted the art table desk, and I'm leaving the frames off the top of it. I'm displaying the DGS's photos, which are in a clay pot photo display craft Ddil made me once. The overabundance of photos, which were difficult to dust around/under, were just overkill, IMHO. :idea: :roll: :!:

DH put away the dirty dishes into the DW and is running it.

1 b-day card will be put into the mailbox, to declutter it from our mail holder here at home.

I'll be busy decluttering all of my crochet "stuff", as soon as I'm done with the hair scrunchies.

Also, I have 2 gifts to wrap, so when they're done, they'll be put away, too.

My office, on the tidy range from 1 - 10, is about a 7 or 8. It's not "perfect" (but what IS perfection!), but my office is comfortable. :mrgreen:

I dumped the trash from 3 bathrooms, cleaned the eating bar off, put away clean LOL- twice- and made the bed prettier. I put away 2 cardigans, decluttered the main/guest bathroom drawers, and purged expired 2 SPF small containers and 2 eyeglasses cleaners, which were expired, too. :mrgreen: I did my desk again, too. ;)
