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.

Good morning, I hope everyone is having a good day.
This is the first year our town has planned an outdoor graduation ceremony and they planned for it to be outside so the graduates could have family attend. Well the thunderstorms from yesterday stopped the graduation – it will be today at 1, that is not convenient for many people but I guess it is the only thing that will work out because the venue is booked for tonight for another event. The students did have their after graduation party last night and the pictures looked like it was a great event. Tomorrow morning I am heading up to DS#1 house to get DGS#2 on the school bus. DS has a 9 o’clock mandatory meeting and the school bus doesn’t come till 8:25 and his commute is an hour. Sometimes DDIL can go into work late (not easy for a teacher) but the final exams are scheduled for tomorrow. I did ask DS if he thought there was going to be layoffs – but he said that it is supposed to be a meeting to let everyone know the upcoming plans for returning to work, meeting with immediate supervisors and a picnic lunch after the meeting. I hope so because DS has worked some long hours during the pandemic to keep up with things.
I will check back later to see how everyone is doing.

Good morning,
My back has been bothering me the past few days do I started doing my back exercises again. It’s not the usual sciatica but those are the exercises I know how to do.
Dottie - I hope the rain stays away today so the event can go on. That’s the thing with outdoor events, if it rain it spoils them.
Martha - I’m right there with you on wanting to lose 10-15 by Labor Day. My losses have been small when there is an actual loss, working on it.
Ruth - Did you go to Macy’s ? My coworker picked up a couple pair of capris last week. She likes them, they wash well.
Still nothing new at work. Ruth, the GM walks by the office every day and sees us wearing sweaters, fleece jackets, and the like. I’ve been wearing my Columbia fleece winter jacket at the cashier desk. It’s 85+ outside, we look ridiculous.
Hoping those 90* temps don’t reach us here. The lakes help keep it a bit cooler, grateful for that.
Enjoy your day

(((hugs)))
I am just now getting on computer. Well, no workie for me today. I asked about work a couple times and nothing solid came out of it. I called/left v/m for person in charge and told her that I didn't think they wanted to pay me while I was playing tiddeley-winks. I was taking the day off, but if needed for rush request, please call.
It's a weird morning. Relaxed by sitting and reading, watched tv for short while and had a late shower. Now, it's about time for lunch. After that I'll be finishing up my to do list from the weekend.
I did do my measurements to start the summer off. I have some work to do!!!
Outdoor (high school & college) graduations are the norm, for Southern California. Even then, sometimes it had to be inside due to size of crowd.
Hope the back exercises help.
Our weather is to be overcast, cloudy with scattered showers. Wouldn't mind a little heat tho. Might stick my nose out the back door to see if it is warm enough to sit outside.
Hugs!

Good evening all. Busy day today!! I got our car cleaned out and vacuumed the entire inside and wiped down most of it. And that was with it being about 90 in the garage!! And I got the boxes of books that were donated and are going to the bike library lady all organized and ready to go. And I put the summer sheets on both of our beds and am washing up our winter flannel sheets. And we ran a few errands. I returned the dress that didn’t fit and I’ve decided that I’m ok with what clothes I have at home. I tried on a few things on and I’m good to go. I’d be even better off if I’d kept off that 60 lbs, but life happened!!! Stan brought up the suitcase and I’m going to do a little packing tonight too. DD just informed me that DSIL won’t be flying tomorrow, so we can leave tomorrow late afternoon for older DD’s and then leave from there Friday morning. So will cut 2-3 hrs off the trip on Friday. And since my hips/back are not happy sitting for too long, I’m seeing multiple stops in our future!
Martha, hope they find work for you to do. Although if they want to pay you for not working, that would be ok too. At least for a day or two!
Joy, your office politics just blow me away! Crazy times! I did not get to Macy’s; but think I may next week. Maybe see if anything is on sale. Don’t want to be this size for long so don’t want to buy much. I was happy to go shopping in my closet and find something that will work.
Dottie, safe travels to your DS’s house. Nice that you are close enough to help them with things like this! I’m sure Bill is frustrated that he has to start unpacking things he packed to use!! I’m with you tho on not packing up the kitchen until you know you have a place. When we were having this house built, we packed a lot and put it in a storage facility so that the house was good for showings. Once it sold, I kept packing but just starting piling up boxes in the unused bedrooms. And as I cleaned out closets, kitchen cabinets, etc., our cleaning lady went behind me and cleaned out things. I miss her. She cleaned here after we moved for 4 years, then I decided when I retired not to spend the $$. I wish I had kept her! Although I think she has now retired from cleaning and has some other job!
Ok, going to go do a few more things tonight while I still have energy! I have to do things while I have the energy. Going in the morning to get a mani/pedi; so want to have a lot of the packing done tonight. I decided to wait to get those until tomorrow morning so that I won’t mess up my nails because I’m not getting gel nails, just a manicure with regular polish!!!
More tomorrow I hope! Otherwise maybe tomorrow night or Friday! If not, have a great weekend!!
