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,
Expecting thunderstorms later this morning. I don’t think we’ll see rain like on Tuesday, but we will see rain. Basement is still nice and dry.
Amvets pickup is today, everything is out and ready. Trash day is today too. Wow, here they come now. Early trash pickup today. Now I can bring the tote back before the rain comes.
I have no energy on these dreary days. Just going to veg out today.
Work has been going well. Still seeing deposits for those invisible cars, and we are selling quite a few used ones. Allie is going on vacation starting tomorrow. I will work alone on Saturday. I have no problem with that, it’s been slow. I might use that time to make to do lists, menus, and the like. Anything to make the time go by. I know that one of the managers will stop by more often so I won’t be bored.
Coffee is calling. I’ll try to bbl

Good morning. I got up early and had my coffee and enjoyed the quiet time. We had storms last night and the sirens went off at one point. Nothing serious around us but we did get a little rain. We still need more.
I’m a little sore today from PT. Need to get busy and do my at-home exercises. Might help the discomfort. I have a massage this afternoon and that will help too. Looking forward to it.
Need to toss a load of laundry in the washer shortly. I’d like to get a few more things done too, but we’ll see. Still watching Olympics.
I think we’re picking up Mara later after my massage. Keep her for the weekend.
Ok, going to get my day going. Will bbl to see how everyone is doing!!!

Joyce, I’m sure it felt good to put all the items out for the Amvets. I went thru the built in cabinet/bookcase in the family room today and packed up several games and pitched a few that had too many missing pieces, every little bit makes me feel better.
Ruth, I think 2020 and 2021 have been hard on many people. Hopefully the PT will help your back and then you can start exercising. I’m glad you were happy with the therapist, that is a big help. I’m sure the massage felt good today. My microwave is a Kitchen Aid and I did check their website – it was no help. If this one doesn’t fit I will have to do a lot more research. The plate broke in the microwave we had before this one, I just went on line and ordered the replacement and everything was fine, so hopefully this will work out also.
Martha, I’m sure your DH enjoyed the surprise of the cookies. Good luck to your DH with the car repair. Bill used to do car repairs on the older model cars but the new ones have too many electronic items that special tools are needed for.
DS#2 is planning on bringing his girlfriend and her 2 daughters to the lake on Sunday. We have met her several times but haven’t met the daughters yet. I think part of the incentive for him wanting to clean up his place is her. I guess her divorce was on the nasty side, she told my DDIL a little about it when she was up to the lake on Memorial Day. Her ex cannot see the girls unsupervised. He hasn’t worked for years and she has to pay him alimony. Plus there were several times the police were involved. She and her daughters are in counseling and DS said everyone seems to be adjusting. We are supposed to get more rain this evening, at least we haven’t had to water anything lately.
