Welcome to the 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 still 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,
We didn’t get all of the rain they predicted. It rained for about an hou or so, that all day soaker was south of us - never made it to Buffalo. I was very happy with that. Here comes the heat ...
Ruth - glad you like the landscape work that’s being done. I agree that it’s pricy, but once done the upkeep should be minimal. I really like the way my front yard looks now, simple but it just makes my house look nice from street level.
Need to straighten up in the living room today, then the kitchen. I want everything in place before I leave on Sunday. I got my itinerary yesterday. The 3 days I’m in Chicago the morning starts at 9, so much better than the usual 7:30. Breakfast and dinner are part of the package, lunches are on our own. I’m almost packed, just last minute odds and ends left. I’m leaving at 6:30 on Sunday, that’s the later pickup time. I need to get my podcast and a couple of movies downloaded before I leave. Getting excited.
Food day was actually pretty good yesterday. Beef taco salad, pulled chicken taco in the bag - I combined them both. We had meatballs in a nice sauce that I found out was ketchup and grape jelly. They were really good. Fruit salad was a nice ending to the lunch. I didn’t try the pasta salad, too much food as usual. And there was a cheesy dip with bread I didn’t try.
Need to get moving. Enjoy your day

Good early afternoon everyone. Joy, your trip has come up really quickly. You will have a lovely time!!! Sounds like you are pretty well packed and have your house ready for when you are gone. Will enjoy hearing about the trip.
Sounds like Dottie is having a nice trip. Can’t remember if she’s with her family now or soon to be.
I have been up since 6:35!!! I know that’s not early for a lot of you, but it is for me! Got up and had my coffee and ate; girls up at 7:00; dressed, fed, hair brushed (Harper’s in 2 big braids), teeth brushed; and Stan left with them at 7:45. While he was gone I got dressed, cleaned up, meds, teeth brushed; bed made; load of laundry going; dishwasher unloaded and re-loaded; and then when he got home I hit a garage sale! Can I quit ADULTING now? And all that on a really poor night of not much sleep and what I got wasn’t restful. And now that Mara is napping, I’m going to start hauling more stuff downstairs from our bathroom and start unloading a clothing rack down there to put in our bedroom for next week. I foresee an early bedtime tonight. Mara goes home at dinnertime. Then hoping for a quiet evening! Have a good day all!
