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 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 a gray, dreary sky but it looks like it’s clearing up. We should hit high 60s today.
The girl in work that had a baby last year quit yesterday. I was talking to her when I came back to work and she was having problems with my boss (HR manager). She tried moving to another department, was actually told she’d be a good fit by HR manager, but when she went to talk about the position she was told that same HR manager said she was a terrible worker. I think I mentioned before that I think my boss is bipolar, she starting to show more of those traits. I’m sad that she’s gone, but she got a job with t-mobile and is working from home. She’ll be able to stay home with her little one and that’s so great for her, a silver lining. So glad I work late afternoon/evening- I have very minimal contact with my boss.
Very uneasy evening in Buffalo. The afternoon protest was peaceful, most left the area when they were over. But a few stayed and started rioting into the evening. 2 officers were run down by people in an SUV. They are in the hospital and are going to be ok, but this is so unlike people in our area. Between the riots and the virus, everything feels so miserable. I stopped watching the news when there was too much Covid overload, now I have to turn it off again because videos of the riots are so depressing.
Sorry, I didn’t means for today’s post to be such a downer. Thanks for letting me vent.
Later ...

Joyce, sorry to hear that your former work mate quit. I worked with someone who was bi-polar, never knew from day to day how she was going to be. If the HR manager can say those things I’m sure the former work mate will be better off with another company.
Ruth, I hope things were quiet for the neighborhood that DS and DIL live in last night. I’m sure Mara was happy to see her parents. Did you sleep better since you didn’t have to worry about Mara last night? I had to LOL you had to turn on the AC and our temp won’t get out of the 60s today. Warmer weather predicted for the weekend.
I had my appointment with the ophthalmologist this morning. Things are doing okay and I don’t need to go back till December for my next appointment. I dropped off 3 bags of items to GoodWill on my way home. I found a few more things that I can get rid of in the next week or so. It is gray and gloomy here. It is so terribly sad to see what is happening in our country. We also have stopped listening to most news broadcasts.

Good afternoon! Was 83 when we got up at 9 am! That’s the reason for the AC!!! I slept a little better; except I had a bad patch with my back; had to get up and put SalonPas spray all over it; then wait for it to work so I could relax and sleep. I contemplated getting up and getting an ice pack, but I was just too tired. I did use one this morning before I went to my hair cut (which is heavenly) and leaning against it again now for a while.
Things were pretty quiet in Mpls & St. Paul last night I think. We haven’t heard much this morning to indicate there were problems. I think there was a peaceful rally around the state capitol and people got arrested for being out after curfew; but don’t think there was rioting or anything. I’m with you guys, I could not listen to it ever, it’s just so upsetting, but Stan would have it on 24/7 if I’d let him!!! Too much overload!!!
Dottie, a good news appt. for your eyes! That’s great! Hope things stay the same for the next one.
Joy, bi-polar is nasty and if they aren’t on their meds and well controlled, people can be so hard to be around; let alone work for!!
I got a few things listed this morning. Going downstairs to sort out the 5/5T summer stuff that I’m giving to a gal. Her hubby is full time Air Force, but right now is home so got called up with the guard. 2 of their 3 children, including this little girl, are autistic, so giving her clothes for the little girl. The mom bought clothes from me when that little girl was a baby. And the maternal grandmother was my Mary Kay lady for a few years and she always delivered free of charge even tho she lives 30 miles away. So I’m paying it forward.
We may deliver our inflatable pool (6’x10’x3’) to younger DD’s house today. She sent me a picture of the girls in their current round blow up pool and Harper can stretch out and touch all around! We so rarely get to use ours for the girls because it depends on the weather, when they are here; getting it warmed up enough for them to enjoy; and Stan hates how it kills the grass. And we don’t have a very level spot to actually put it up on anyway.
Ok, going to return the ice to the freezer, go downstairs where, according to Stan, it’s really COLD and do some sorting. He’s still on blood thinners so he’s always cold! He’s talking about going outside where it’s 88 to warm up! His knee is bothering him and I don’t think he should run when it’s this hot anyway. Especially not with Maggie. I think he needs to get up earlier and take Maggie and go then. Before it heats up and the road surface is hot on Maggie’s paws. He’s spending a lot more time on his ham radio and that’s so good for him. And a couple zoom calls with old work friends!
I’ll check back later.
