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.

Hope everyone is having a good day. ((HUGS)) to everyone. Ruth, how was your appointment with the doctor? I hope that he/she can help you with your fatigue.
Crazy morning so far. I went for my fasting blood test this morning and then went grocery shopping. I met someone I used to work with at the store and talked for ½ hour, good to catch up, but between the masks and the noise of a grocery store it was hard to hear her at times. I think I mentioned that I’m working a conference the middle of June for my old company. I needed to registration for the conference (even though I am not officially attending the conference). They sent the registration information several times (I never received it) before they figures out it can’t go to a gmail account. They finally just sent me the link, so I was able to register. The whole process took several hours, UGH!!!. Beautiful day, I’m heading out to get a few more plants, never made it out yesterday.

Good morning. We slept until 9:45 this morning!!! Unheard of!!! But we were up until 1:00 am watching an exciting hockey game. We won, forced game 6, so who knows how things will go. We watched a tiny bit of the local news after the game, so it was LATE!!!
ok, update on dr. appt.
Blood work mostly came back “in normal range”! I hate normal range because that may not be optimum for me! Especially thyroid. I asked if my A1C being at 6 could be causing my issues and she said no, it’s not high enough to be a real issue. But she would like to see it lowered. No med changes for any of it right now.
They did 3 x-rays of my lower back. It has caused me to not be able to take walks, making beds is excruciating, standing at the sink, vacuuming, all are issues. We’re waiting on the results of those right now. She said based on the results of x-rays on my upper back/neck, she expects to see lots of issues from arthritis. She’s hoping for no other damage tho. She wants me to go for therapy at the place I went to a couple years ago for strengthening the muscles in the lower back. Will wait to schedule that until we have results of the x-rays. I have an intake appt with them but not until July 7.
I am going to work with their nutritionist to reduce/eliminate sugar, dairy, and processed foods from my diet to try and reduce inflammation and pain from all the arthritis. And I’m going back to WW in-person meetings (I need the accountability!!!). Stan is either going to meetings or will do online until he reaches goal again!
She has ordered an echocardiogram for me to rule out heart issues. She does not expect to find anything there, but wants to rule it out. Lung issues are still a problem but losing weight and that internal fat surrounding them should help some.
I think that covers it. We did talk about mental fatigue being a factor and all that has happened in the past year and a half. We’re not doing anything about it right now, hoping time and DS getting surgery and then a job and Mara heading to nursery school will help those issues. Time needed to heal from losing both Carol & Rita.
Ok, I need to get dressed and get moving. I’ll come back later and do SO’s; but wanted to get this posted. More later!
