But
Kathryn, [picture whiny voice] I can't take on another passion! I have genealogy and I have stamping, which I don't get enough time to do, and I'm saturated.
I hear what you're saying though. Trouble is, a lot of the stuff is dkids and dh's and that leaves me not sure what to do. Kids stuff I can give them a chance to pick up, then donate, but dh is like your dh who believes if there's room for another vacuum cleaner then what's the problem with keeping it? He doesn't think about the physical space things take up. (I found his old CPAP a while back and he put it back on the shelf in our closet - this is at least 15? years old? And he has a newer one also. But there's room on the shelf so what's the problem?) He sent links to dkids for clothes - there's a surprise. His closet is stuffed full, to the point that I sometimes surreptitiously let things go so I can what he does use away. (And he'll check the give away box in the garage sometimes, too.
)

I think cats and dogs can get away with it because they aren't humans and they don't have a nagging tone to their voice.
I think it's because we know they can't talk to express their needs, so we listen to them more. And they take advantage of that.
I called about an eye ck up and I can't do it until I come back from genealogy institute. They are out of town next week, then I'm away.
Dmom was good except for talking crazy after her nebulizer treatment.
I wore a mask, I am coughing some. Probably could use some of her albuterol myself.
I need to get going again.
-two loads of laundry to fold, reboot load in washer over, start another

DH is home already. I have trouble working once he's home but going to try to keep rolling.
