Organizing + Decluttering Goal

 Another Goal: decluttering/organizing

I think I am gonna do a Jan-heavy org'ing (the 30 days kinda thing), to make a big push, and also 100 days...hopefully will mostly be done by then, because it really needs to be & things would be SO much better when it is! My main projects to declutter/organize/re-set-up are a few large rooms in the basement, in the next 30 days, including my bedroom, office, exercise area, 2 craft spaces (wet, dry) & TV area. Also, later, in the rest of the first 100 days of the year (basically into April) some other areas, esp. the garage, & maybe an area to start seeds for the garden.

Much of this WAS organized at one point, but a couple of (smallish but very disruptive) floods....

Also, I am a scrap-craft'r, I hate throwing out perfectly useful resources for future projects (why give my $$$ to Michael's when I can diy many things if I don't throw stuff away.... ;)

    Very good goal. De-cluttering our space will help us to have a wonderful mind-set. I am doing little by little cleaning. My plan is by 2020 to have everything organized.

    I LOVE decluttering.. I am also a scrap-crafter. My favorite thing to do is walk around secondhand stores looking for crafting treasures.

    I have been bing watching "Consumed" and "Tidying Up with Marie Kondo" on Netflix recently emoticon

    So many of us are working on organizing/decluttering. Part of the problem is too much stuff! I am purging. A lot! It's like helping my home lose weight. A little at a time. We'll get there!

Blogday 13(-5)_100days: 'How're you getting groceries?' (& some bi*ching & whining)

Image
  A team I'm on posted the q: "How have you been getting groceries". I started to answer, but once I got into it, and got personal, I opted to not post my very long answer to clog the thread, so I'm posting here. Most of the team did some form of online ordering. I go in and shop, sometimes taking advantage of senior hours, sometimes doesn't work out w/schedules. Also, 4 times so far, my sister, who's an essential IT nursing home worker, and out and about for herself anyway would get us stuff, but she's very into meat and not great at veg. {Okay...here's the bi*ching & whining}: I have no one else to tell, except my one sister (not the IT one, the ww one) and have already said after this is over I am leaving or not doing it anymore: I'm very picky*/specific about veg as is mom about random stuff, and she's 80; I currently live with her (and dad, 85), and still get shouted at because nothing's ever perfect—but the whole fam knows that an

Solstice Blessings

  Blessed is he who speaks a kindness; thrice blessed is he who repeats it. - Arabian proverb This is an issue for me today, and everyday, as I am working towards managing anger better. I sincerely believe that "Spreading goodwill can return to you"...basically moods are catching. Living with mom can be a trial...she is often playing the martyr. SPARK says: "This quote can be read in a few ways, and all of them are worth thinking about. First, complimenting and encouraging others is one of the easiest and most powerful ways to be a positive force in someone's life. As long as you're sincere, repeating that encouragement as often as possible can have effects that far outweigh the effort. Countless people have exceeded their own expectations just because others believed in them." This is true, and I found it to be so as a teacher. But sometimes, like with family, it just is not appreciated. "Second, giving positive feedback works even better if done publi
