I decluttered the laundry basket by doing 1 load towels tonight. Only energy for 1 load this late. Always tomorrow.
I put away a cardigan in the master bedroom, fixed my teddy bear on the bed, and got out clothes for tomorrow. I have them hanging on the walk-in closet door back on a hook. Having the closet orderly helps choose clothes easier.
I'm keeping "things" (Ivy-clutter) off the eating bar end. All we have is the large humidifier in the center of the eating bar. Since my "launch pad" changed to a more hidden area, I have no need to clutter up the eating bar with lists, notes, post-it notes, etc...
Since I'm having the asthma problem, I'm keeping rooms decluttered, like they were right before the window washer came. I find it just takes a moment to walk into any room, do an eye inspection, around the room, to see if anything's out of place. So I'm continually following myself around, picking up after myself so I'm more decluttered. This means, if I need a 2-hour nap, I won't have a messy house because I'm resting. It's so nice to have appointments with myself, like this, to declutter because my mind's more Peaceful, I feel more rested, and it's a win-win situation. DH is very tidy, too, in my opinion, so it's not hard to keep the house picked up with him around.
However, when grandsons come to visit, 2 at a time, this summer, for 1 week at a time, I hope I can keep Peace in mind, or teach them, by reminding them to
pick up after themselves, too. I cannot wear myself ragged and thin, then get ill again. They're very responsible young men, they respect us and our home, so I look forward to their stay. They need not do the work, but just pick up after themselves. It's a good habit to learn at Gma & Gpa's home.
