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 Ladies. We leave tomorrow and I’m probably 85% packed. We need to go to the bank and the bookstore this morning. DS alerted me last night that DIL might end up back in the hospital last night. It doesn’t appear that happened but we have older DD on standby in case she needs to come while we are gone. DIL goes to the dr this afternoon and DS/DIL are guessing she’s going to need the surgery to place a drain. If need be, we might get Mara today again for DIL’s appt. We got more snow last night and more is due tomorrow. Looking forward to getting away from it all. I’ll check in later today.

Good morning,
Ruth - sorry to hear about DIL. Keeping her in my prayers. I’m sure you’re looking forward to your vacation.
Today is still nice and sunny. We are due for snow on Thursday, the entire weekend is going to be snowy. Looks like winter is finally coming to WNY. Not looking forward to it. It’s been a mild relatively snow free winter so far.
Heading to grocery store to pickup a few things. I’m sure store will be busy tomorrow, preparing for the snow.
New girl starts tomorrow. Not sure what her schedule is going to be. Because she isn’t working early, the other cashier will be able to work with her from 3-4:30 or so. I might be able to work with her for a while, but I input invoices and won’t have a lot of time to spend training her. Not sure what is happening with young man, I haven’t heard anything about him. I’m thinking they’ll just let him continue the way he is. Oh well.
Have a great day

Joyce, it does sound like winter is finally in your area. Hope the snow isn’t too bad. I still can’t believe that they let the young guy do whatever he wants without doing something about it.
Ruth, I hope that DIL doesn’t need more surgery. At least there is a plan in place for them if she does. Nice that DD#1 can come to their rescue. Hope the snow doesn’t delay your flight tomorrow morning. Enjoy the trip and check in if you can.
We went this morning to pick out our counter tops for the bathrooms. Since the counters aren’t big we were able to get a remnant and that saved us some money. I am already frustrated with the whole process. The contractor Bill wants to use is very difficult to get a hold of and won’t call Bill back. Several people have told us that their contractor did a good job – but he wants this particular one for some reason. I don’t get it.

Good evening all. DIL will need surgery to place a drain, but they say it is same day, in and out, and she won’t need to stay in the hospital. That’s providing she does ok. They say she can even work with the drain in. She’s not sure that’s a great idea, but it is what it is. She says she’s out of PTO. I thought that always re-set on
Jan. 1, but maybe not. They will have to make arrangements with older DD or whomever to take care of Mara. I’m gone!!!
Younger DD’s family was up at 4:40 this morning to catch a 7 am flight to Seattle. They were to fly to Portland and then to Seattle tomorrow, but flights filled up to Portland, so they went to Seattle. Then they had to get to Portland because they have to be flying to Seattle from Portland to get their good price. Weird rules!!! Anyway, then flights were full and then being cancelled to Portland out of Seattle due to some weather. So they ended up renting a minivan and driving to Portland! Then they have actual tickets to fly to Seattle tomorrow morning. And they will then fly on the same flight we do to Maui. DD said even tho it was only 5:30 their time, they were eating dinner and then they were all going to bed. They’ll have to return the rental car and catch their flight. Think it’s only an hour flight. They are to get in to Seattle about 15 min before we do.
Dottie, MEN!!!! DH gets stubborn like that sometimes. He was on my list twice today! First time we ran to Target to pick up 2 of my prescriptions and a book for him and some other odds and ends. 2 bags. He takes the bags and carries them to the car. Get home and he puts on the kitchen counter. I knew there were no groceries, so didn’t pay attention because I was starting laundry. After a while, my phone rings. I didn’t know the #, but it didn’t come up as a scam, so for some reason I answered it. (I usually don’t). A lady called me by name, said I didn’t know her, but that she’d found a Target bag in the parking lot at Target and it had my 2 prescriptions in it. Your # is on the prescription slip. She told me she would take them inside to the order pick up desk for me. I thanked her profusely and told her I’d go get them! I asked him how that happened!!! Then he went to take me to my manicure appt and his mind was elsewhere and he got on the freeway. You can’t go the freeway to get there because there’s no exit and you have to go to the next exit, 3 miles south and then come back. Grrrr. I was only about 5 minutes late, but still irritated me!!! Then he decides to speed! I’d rather get there safely!!!
I will check in from Hawaii, maybe tomorrow night or from one of the airports. Good night all.
