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,
Sounds like we all had a nice weekend.
Dottie - thanks for telling us about Yesterday. I do enjoy listening to the Beatles, I just find it hard to find time forthe movies. Iāll put it on my list when I visit DB and DSIL, thatās when I see most of my movies.
When I went to Chicago, I downloaded the Book Club. Have you seen that? I really enjoyed it. I guess I should look at other movies that Amazon Prime offers.
Ruth- glad that you had a nice time with your friends, and you are so right about life being too short to hole on to bad feelings. Sounds like it all worked out. I love the way you talk about Mara āpartying in the cribā , such a cute way to put it.
Enjoyed visiting with DB and DSIL yesterday. We went to breakfast, the place wasnāt too busy so we sat around and talked for quite a while. Caught up on a lot. I caught up on resting for part of the evening, fell asleep in the lounger. I guess I needed some extra sleep.
Today I have some laundry to catch up on and a quick trip to the grocery store. That should keep me busy until I go to work. No one on vacation this week, back to normal.
Enjoy your day

Good morning ladies. Enjoying the peace and quiet before Stan & then Mara get up and the painter comes. Joy, we say Mara holds a āraveā party in her crib because she talks, laughs, giggles, tosses toys & her pacifiers out (sometimes later she complains about this part) and bounces around! She sometimes shouts & shrieks and is the happiest little thing!!! I think her daddy named them āravesā!!! It just seems to fit!
Dottie, I did not get the painting done. I was exhausted last night and DH had been asking repeatedly if I wanted him to help, so I just let him do it. He was happy to do it and I got some rest.
Painter coming in an hour to an hour and a half. Apparently he has a little one he drops off at school before he starts work so he starts later than some of their other workers. Heāll work some today, touch-ups tomorrow morning, then the flooring guys in the afternoon tomorrow. Can hardly wait to get this finished. Friday after the final inspection I will begin putting some clothes back into the closet and bring our bathroom stuff back. We may hold a party in the bathroom & closet Friday night!!!
I have laundry to do too this morning and then PT this afternoon. Stan has a dr. appt. with our primary today. Not sure if itās a physical or what heās getting. Mara goes back to her parents after work today. I suggested her going to mommy when Iām in town for PT, but DIL worked an extra shift last night and doesnāt get off until 7:30 this morning, so she wasnāt happy about getting up to get Mara. So we will go in at dinnertime and take her to her daddy after heās off work.
Ok, I need to go get dressed and get the bed made and start laundry. And remind DH that he needs to collect and put the garbage out. I will check back tonight. Dottie, I saw there were BioFreeze coupons in yesterdayās paper. Would you like them? I can put in the mail today or tomorrow if you do.

Joyce, I watched Book Club on demand here at home. I enjoyed it. Bill was watching something else and didnāt watch Book Club. It is nice when a restaurant isnāt busy and you can sit and visit.
Ruth, thanks for the offer for BioFreeze but I got some coupons from my paper. Thanks for thinking of me. Glad to hear that Stan was able to do the painting for you. Iām sure you are anxious for the job to be finished.
I finished my book this morning. I find it difficult to read when my eyes are tired. This book was a paperback and the print seemed smaller. Glad I finished it because I didnāt want to do any work till I was done. Accomplished a few tasks after I finished the book and now have to head to the grocery store so I can get something for dinner. We are having the grands for part of the weekend. DS and DDIL got tickets for Hamilton and they will see it this weekend. We wanted the boys to come for a few days before school starts but decided to have the 3 of them so they didnāt have to get a babysitter. We will be here (home) for part of the time and then go to the lake on Saturday afternoon. DS and DDIL will come late Sunday morning or early Sunday afternoon to the lake.

Good afternoon. Well the sun is shining now and the winds are calm, but about 1:30 we had severe thunderstorm warnings and got pea size hail. I was to head to PT right before that so about 1:00 I called and cancelled. Told them I wasnāt comfortable driving in it or taking my 5 mo old car out in hail. Just west of us they had golf & tennis balls sized hail. We were afraid weād get that too. Thankfully we didnāt. But we did end up moving our car over as far as possible and had the painter move his nice pickup truck in out of it too. He really appreciated being able to do that. We have a 3 car garage with 1 stall full of STUFF, but were able to move our SUV over far enough for him to get in. His truck is too long for our garage so we couldnāt close the door, but both cars were good.
We will take Mara home about dinner time. It should be better weather by then. Really praying we donāt get any tornadoes tonight if the storms kick back up.
Dottie, sounds like you had a good book going. Iām trying to get thru Debbie Macomberās newest one.
Have a great day all.
