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’m working today for Tammy. She is going to visit family in NC.
Snow is probably going to melt today, worse case tomorrow. It’s going to be in the 50s today.
Dottie - sounds like you are definitely busy … I need to find my energy again.
Enjoy your day

Gmorning (((hugs)))
Fixed fruit/veg for dh last night. Deboned & froze the 2 chickens I roasted. We both like the dark meat but mixed in white with it.
Today, I need to catchup on laundry, which includes the curtains. In between I'll work in spare room. I get overwhelmed by how much stuff I need to go thru so I don't work on it. I will go thru 1(one) box today.
It's a rainy week, I stay inside.
(((hugs)))

Joyce, it’s nice that you can work for Tammy so she can visit her relatives. I guess she has worked out as an employee. Hope the snow is all gone now.
Martha, as the opening reads: “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.” One box a day is the way to tackle the task.
Ruth, I hope you are having a good start to your week. What day does ODD come?
Change of plans due to the weather (lots of rain) on Friday. The contractors crew had to finish the job he was working on last week today. His crew will be here tomorrow early. We have tickets to go to the dinner theater we like with friends. We need to leave at 4:30 but Bill feels that if they aren’t finished for the day they can just close up when they leave. They will be back early on Wednesday to finish up. The main problem with the change of days is my DSis and DBIL arrive on Thursday. People who have used this contractor said that the crew cleans up the place before they leave, I hope so. On Thursday morning I can just do a quick cleaning hopefully.

Good afternoon all. We got almost a foot of heavy wet snow overnight; followed by some rain this morning and more rain this afternoon and evening. Right now it’s very overcast but not dark and dreary. Wind is coming up too. Another front coming through. Roads aren’t slick right now but will be tonight and tomorrow morning if it gets down to the 16 they are predicting. Stan’s electric snowblower wasn’t working for whatever reason (batteries not charged; clogged up with the snow???) and he was shoveling. When I told younger DD he was shoveling, she came out and helped him do the other half. It’s really hard on his back and thankfully he has an acupuncture appt tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully by then the roads won’t be slick.
I have a dental appt tomorrow morning (only 1 mile from here) where they’ll take off the existing crown, put a filling on the side of the tooth, then make the mold for a new crown. Then in 2 weeks or so I’ll go back for the new crown. Not very happy with this dental office so he better not want to do anything else.
Older DD is coming mid-day on Wednesday and will leave mid-day or so on Friday. Stan will still go to peddling on Friday and to boxing on Thursday and she and I can do some sorting of stuff to donate or whatever. We might end up with 2 or 3 of the girls to spend some time with their Aunt. She’s a favorite with all of them.
Spent an hour on HOLD this morning to try to make Stan an appt with the Movement Disorder Specialist. And it turns out that the # listed isn’t for the specialty center (Struthers); it’s for our Health Partners neurology group. This new doctor practices at both locations. I’m aggravated that the # isn’t correct and it’s in multiple places online. I did get him an appt in early May, but they have to make sure his regular neurologist is ok with it. The MDS is also a neurologist, just with more training and degrees. And we got him in to the sleep specialist group so they can update everything and maybe talk him into using his Cpap again! Or see if he needs an anti-depressant or anti-anxiety med possibly. I’m sure they’ve seen it all.
Martha, I sure understand that overwhelmed (and no energy) feeling. It’s frustrating isn’t it!! Do what the big organizing guru’s recommend - set a 15 min timer and start with that time for that one box. I’m gonna try it too with cleaning downstairs.
Joy, are you adding these extra $$ to your vacation fund? Isn’t that what you do with all the extra $$? That’s what all my working games pay and all went to.
Dottie, hope they get your new windows in with no trouble. Sounds like a lot of Florida is having rain. Myrtle Beach is apparently cool and rainy too.
Ok, need to grab some lunch before it’s dinner time. And I need to get in some exercise since I didn’t even offer to shovel. My back would never take it.
Have a good rest of your day all.
