Welcome to the Clutter Patrol, formerly CLUTTERBUSTERS thread. We are a daily thread, Monday thru Friday, and we have a combined weekend edition Saturday and Sunday. We welcome new members and are a friendly, helpful and supportive group.
Our purpose is for support and sharing of tips and strategies in dealing with weight and clutter issues in our lives. Many feel that the two are often tied together. So, we will lend a caring ear, and hopefully give and learn tips to help all of us.
We want to remove at least 5 items or spend at least 15 minutes clutter busting today!
Remember, it didn't pile up in one day so it isn't going away in a day either. One organizer says: you don't have to stop everything to get organized, you just have to start somewhere.

Good morning,
Woke up to nice sunshine, probably the last full sunny day for the next week. Rain is expected every day. The cling that I put on my window is great, lets the sun in but you can’t see anything. I used to have to pull my shades down when I got dressed and again at night, they used to go up on their own every once in a while. Now I can just keep the shade up.
Boss is getting lasek today, she won’t be in today and tomorrow. Makes for a nice couple of days. We got our shirts yesterday, putting them in the wash today. I might just start wearing them every day, will make it so much easier and I can part with more tops.
Trash pickup is done, I’ll go out in a bit to bring the tote in.
Enjoy your day

Joyce, glad to hear that you will have a few days of peace in the office due to the boss being out. The cling sounds nice, there are certain rooms that we will keep the shades down because of location. I should look into that for those windows.
Hope everyone is having a good day.
It is sunny and nice here today, high is supposed to be in the mid 70s. No rain expected till Sunday and then only in the 50s. I’ll take and enjoy the nice day we have now. Saturday morning is DGDs 1st Communion. We have to leave here between 7:30 and 7:45 to get there on time. DDIL asked me to bring my meat sauce, DGD requested it, deviled eggs and some cookie bars. Made the cookie bars this morning and I plan on boiling the eggs this afternoon and also make the meat sauce. I won’t fill the eggs till Saturday morning, but will have everything else ready to put in the cooler so we can get an early start.
Tonight we are going to the college to see the play at DS#2 school. It is a musical and usually very good. He talked about the set which he and his students built so it is always nice to see that. We need to leave here at 6:15 so will have an earlier dinner than usual.

Good afternoon all. Laundry going. It’s rained off and on all morning. Supposed to stop this afternoon but it’s still really overcast. Decent temps so that’s ok.
Stan is at Boxing and I think after he gets home and takes his shower, we’ll head to Costco. A few things we need to pick up. Things he prefers from there and a few things that are just plain cheaper.
I need to write a reply to the attorney this afternoon. He still says we ought to convert our IRA’s into Roth’s or our kids will be stuck with the tax burden. NO!!! If they are, so be it. But I’m guessing we may need to use some of that before all is said and done anyway, and we are withdrawing some each month. We do NOT want to take the tax hit for converting it all at one. I have to figure out how to tell him that is our final decision and to please back off and not mention it again. Not gonna happen, so drop it. I think we move on to another lawyer who handles other things anyway. We are going to do the Revocable trust and the wills, POA’s and health care directives. We won’t get any $$ back unfortunately and I’m not real thrilled with how they do things. I feel like we let ourselves be railroaded into signing on the dotted line before we really knew what we were signing up for. Live and learn I guess.
Going over next week and help younger DD box up the kids’ breakables out of their bedrooms. And maybe work on some other things if we have time. She gets overwhelmed and maybe we can produce a little organization while we are at it. I’ve helped her before. Older DD helps me, I help younger DD. A fair trade of.
Joy, enjoy your work w/o boss for a couple days! Always nice to know before that she won’t be there! I’m going to look into that cling stuff for our bathroom window. It has a shade but I’d love to let the light in but not give the neighbor’s a view they would prefer not to see! 🤣
Dottie, enjoy DGD’s 1st communion. A special time for family. And also DS’s play tonight. Nice that he does so much work on sets and all.
Waving to Bonnie and Martha.
more tomorrow! Have a great Friday and rest of your Thursday all.
