Hi and good paperwork wishes to sherinjoy. I have got to keep to my vision for a home in which my parents' can live safely, healthily, and, someday if necessary, with live-in help.
Another 1 hour and 1 Lawn and Leaf bag out to the trash at my parents. Also rediscovered a bunch of 32-cent stamps, so that was valuable - $5 or so. And brought home a kitchen towel and a cooking dish that can actually be used here. Lots of condensing/organizing. So, the bag represents 6 square feet of space freed up, the condensing work about 2.
8 square feet of space freed up.
Confession - I was trying to work on my "next ups" in my plan, but began to get depressed in the guest bedroom when I opened the huge box of magazines. I closed it again realizing I need to sleep on that a while to come to grips with it. And I went to the other bedroom (spare or storage room) to work to clear off shelves there. Maybe clear shelves can help me face these heavy, large magazines and books. That's where most of the above work was done.
