I crossed TUESDAY OFF THE CALENDAR!
I thought it was Wed., which means garbage day tomorrow. So I dumped all the waste baskets, all over the house, getting ready for "garbage day" tomorrow, which is on THURSDAY!
Now I'll need to look at my desk calendar, clock calendar, and office wall calendar to remember it is NOT Hump Day yet!
This is so funny. I got up at 6:30 a.m. and I guess I "lost a day" when I got up early????
Anyway, it's a very good feeling to know it's been done.
I decluttered the sofa area. I put my clipboard storage thing with writing to do inside it with index cards, and a spiral notebook, over near my chair. I put my neck pillow and another pillow away. Now, on that end of the sofa is 2 skeins of yarn and my dgrson-4.5's afghan I'm edging.
The other day I stripped the eating bar area where I had my cards and lists. I set up underneath cabinets where I count calories and write down OTC meds, time when took and how many. Now, on the eating bar are 2 of DH's b-day cards, a scarecrow decoration (7" tall) and timer with ONE list pad. It looks so tidy there now, less overwhelmed with clutter, and my other list pad, which I check off 5 fruits/veggies daily, add my calories eaten at the day's end and put my weigh-ins are under the cabinet out of the way, too. It's nice to be organized, but do I need to do it in a cluttered way? NO!
So everything's out of the way, for my eyes only, leaving what's visible from the great room and dining room, clean when you glance over at the kitchen counters. Decluttering is work, but sometimes it falls into place so easy.
