February 10, 2021: Does it ever feel like the grand scheme to life is playing practical jokes on all of us?!?!? LOL As I look around, all I can see is everything I already cleared out in November and wish I had now to make this challenge easier! LOL! You know … boxes of magazines,Continue reading “Day 10”

February 9, 2021: Well, I braved the crawl space this morning since the feline was asleep in his tree. I only looked through one 18 gallon tote ~ Bonanza! 5 things! Car wipes which have dried out… old dish soap which is separating and burbling… an animal urine remover which has lost efficacy… wood blockContinue reading “Day 9”

February 8, 2021: The theme of the day is “Whew!” and I fear this will be recurring as the stakes rise daily. Off to an early lead, I decided to part out a chair with bent legs (it was tricky trying to sit on the seat while sliding forward after all…). The parts are properlyContinue reading “Day 8”

February 7, 2021: I woke today thinking I would dig in the crawl space, easily locate 7 things and call it a day… Well, we all know what happens with best laid plans…. In any case, life has a funny way of coming full circle… After spending much of the day enjoyably gluing stones onContinue reading “Day 7”

February 6, 2021: An interruption before returning to our regularly scheduled programming ~ a somewhat brief word from our Subplot… A surprise happened yesterday afternoon! With new measurements in hand, the local hardware store gave me a wonderful gift! They found a scrap piece in perfect condition, cut the mirror, shaved the corners and fittedContinue reading “Day 6”

February 5, 2021: Good morning all! I woke to oodles of mess from yesterday’s tear about to find items to meet the challenge. This turns out to be quite fortuitous in spite of the mess… 5 things were quickly found! Yeah! (and a good thing, bad day with the chronic pain… still hobbling around) AsContinue reading “Day 5”

February 4, 2021: Today started last night when a drawer in the bathroom wouldn’t close… LOL! (maybe this is my sign?!?!) I discovered a few gems to remove… (still shocked I had dirty tissues! How MORTIFYING!!! Blushing LOL) …along with an embarrassment of riches in plastic bags! So, delivered on a platter were items 1Continue reading “Day 4”

February 3, 2021: Today started out particularly challenging…. ideas to reorganize everything to gain greater fluidity inundated me everywhere I looked! And finding 3 things to remove still evade notice… But the hunt is on! Ok, found 1: a bit easy as it turns out… sent flavor packets from ramen cups to food donation, soContinue reading “Day 3”

February 2, 2021: Today I had planned to toss out 2 expired 1/2 used tubes of cream, but felt a strong pull to face an emotional item ~ I want this challenge to truly mean something at the end. Taking a deep breath, feeling a wrenching twist in my heart, I took my 2 favoriteContinue reading “Day 2”

February 1, 2021: Good morning! First day should have been easy, right?!?!? Pick a piece of junk mail and move on…. But reality took hold… or shall I say the “over thinker” in me… It decided the “easy things” I had planned cleared clutter, but felt like copping out. With much consternation and digging inContinue reading “Day 1”
