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,
Had a great, fun day at work yesterday. Boss was at an offsite meeting for most of the day. Invoices that I used to do a while back needed to be completed so I had a LOT of work to do. I posted them at the front desk so I could help other cashier when she needed me to. I ended up working 4 extra hours, so I gained back the hours I didn’t work last Friday.
And I’ll be heading to work soon, will be working alone. I still have a lot of work to do today. I will be catching up on my work, there’s quite a bot of scanning too. That should make the time go by quickly.
Enjoy your day, I’ll be back later.

Joyce, hope you have a good day at work and that there is enough to keep you busy. That was great that you were able to make up the hours you lost last week.
Ruth, we have only met DSs girlfriend twice but she seems very nice and has a good job. She does travel with her job and since DS and his GF live 45 miles from each other they only see each other on weekends. He has talked a few times about her daughters so I am anxious to meet them tomorrow. Sorry to hear the massage was cancelled, why don’t people get the vaccine? Hope Mara and the older girls went to sleep okay for you last night. We have also had smoke from the fires, some from Canada and then some from the fires out west.
Waving to Martha, hope you have a good weekend.
I am waiting for the DW to finish and then we will leave for the lake. Our weather is quite cool, in fact I closed the window in the bathroom when I took my shower this morning because the bathroom was so cool. Our weather has been all over the place this summer. I hope we do get some more warm (but not 90s) weather. I want to help Bill finish loading the car so I better get moving. Have a great weekend.

Good evening all. Have a wonderful weekend at the lake Dottie! Let us know what you think of DS’s girlfriend and her girls. Hopefully you get some “summer” weather; but not these dreadful 90’s that we’ve been getting so many of!
Joy, sounds like you had a good day at work and hopefully today will be good too. Are you having a good time with hair and makeup too? I need to pay more attention to mine when I go out. Hair is usually good and I always wear eyeliner, but that’s it.
Martha, hope you are having a good weekend. Hugs to you dear lady!!! Hope your DH can get your car repaired.
All 3 girls slept well last night. We’ve started doing something with Mara that her daddy suggested. He sits with her in her room for a few minutes and talks or reads to her or plays with her. And he tells her that when she’s ready to go to sleep, she can tell him night night or good-bye and he will go. So we’ve started doing some of that and haven’t had issues. A nice change. Harper was up until almost 10:30 watching the Olympics and I’m guessing Sawyer was awake upstairs. They all slept until about 9:00 this morning.
When Mara went down for her afternoon nap, I took H/S down to Famous Footwear to meet up with their mom and they got school shoes. We had to order Harper’s because they didn’t have those in the store. But she tried on some like them so we knew sizing. But I was ready to leave them there and head to Target because it took them so dang long! Sawyer found a pair of Sketcher’s with unicorns on them that she fell in love with but they were so not good school play shoes. So we spent forever finding something else. Then I hit Target and picked up prescriptions and a few other things. And stopped to get milk and bread when I was back in Hugo.
I need to get Mara down soon. And I want to finish folding the laundry I did earlier today. It’s all laid out on the top of the washer so it doesn’t get wrinkled, but I didn’t get it all folded between girls, trip out, dinner, and not feeling great after dinner. And I want to unload the dishwasher that I ran before I left.
Have a good evening all and I’ll be back tomorrow. Not sure if we are taking Mara home tomorrow or Monday when I go to PT. Or maybe DS can come get her tomorrow, not sure. Doesn’t really matter. Night!!!

Ugh! 2 days of long hours of sitting at work took its toll today. Woke up with terrible sciatic pain on the right side. Exercised right away, and a few times during the day. Feeling better now, but I feel like I lost a whole day. Hopefully I will feel ok tomorrow morning.
I did manage to go grocery shopping this afternoon, had to pick up a prescription so I figured I’d do some shopping too. Was disappointed that they didn’t have any Premier Protein shakes on the shelf. I’ll have to go to Target tomorrow morning to get some. I like drinking one of those at work, it’s the way I get extra protein since I’m not a fan of Greek yogurt.
A quick thunderstorm just rolled by, noisy ... It barely made 70* today, but we are warming up a bit this week.
I will be making an appointment to get my haircut on Friday. I want him to do an undercut in the back. I’ll ask for the longest length on his shaver, but I want to try it out. I like the short hair and plan on keeping it short, but I still like trying something different. I will let him know that I will eventually like to try something asymmetrical next year so I can grow it out right this winter. Makeup is still challenging. I have next to no eyebrows and am thinking of trying stencils. And when I try to contour it just isn’t blending right. I’ll get the gang of it one of these days.
Enjoy the rest of the day. See ya tomorrow
