I have two declutter jobs to do this week:
#1- empty 2 end table drawers out, on both sides of my chair in the great room, put the items into a box, sort them, and put order back into the drawers. With grandsons visiting, I don't want things, such as my head lamps, etc... messed around with, for fear they'd get broken. So I'll put things in the drawers, such as list pads, books, stationery, etc..
#2- one of our grandsons is a fantastic writer. He spends a lot of time on DH's computer, he writes and saves things in a cloud. I noticed today, how so many old writing things of mine, when I was really young and so green,
are in the filing cabinet in the main office where DH's computer is. My other job this week is to take the handwritten items, old contracts with my S. S. # on them, etc.. and find room for them in my private small office, where I have files, and writing.
I want to be prepared ahead of time, so I'm not paranoid about anything. I don't want to be suspicious, but I was a VERY curious teen once, myself.
I trust my grand-he's a lot, but I want to have a relaxed mind, not worry, and need to declutter and tidy up anyway. Their coming is the catalyst for my getting my act together, so this is a very good thing, too. I want them and me to enjoy their stay. There are places in the filing cabinet in the main office, which will be great for extra patterns floating around. I keep computer printouts, pattern leaflets, etc. in there, too. It's time to just round stuff up and get organized.
P.S. I would be HORRIFIED if my grandsons read my EARLY writing. It's so BAD! This is another reason why I want to hide it. It's so awful. :lol:
