I haven't even gotten started on clothes, yet!!! I like your idea of "going through a friend's closet! I always find it easier to clean out someone else's clutter, but not my own!

I spent a good part of my day gathering up all of my paper products (stationary, note cards, scratch paper, etc) and went through them with the intent of getting rid of the excess.

It turns out that I was "stashing" paper in at least 7 different places!!! Boxes in the closet, desk drawer, bookcase, etc. As I was going through it all, this is what my living room looked like.......

....and I'm not even sure if I found it all....there might be more!!!! I got rid of some of it, but not nearly enough!
I bet I have 50 brand-new pens! And probably another 20-30 various colored Sharpies and Highlighters! 🙄

It's a sickness! My Mom has it, and so did my Dad. My grandparents, too! Sometimes I feel like I'm drowning in all of the 💩 that I've accumulated!!

I know! Why do I have stationary from the sixties? Because my MIL cleaned out her closet one day! 😊

I can tell that you feel my pain!

I used to write letters all of the time. Now, just about everything it done online....but I still have my cute little note cards.

My Mom is worse than I am, if that is even possible. She is almost 93 years old. I know that I'll be going through her things, in the future, too!

I have a need to buy a Baker's Half Dozen of Bagels, 7 for price of six, at my favorite Bagel store, located in view of the Elementary School I attended. My son did Pre-K and Kindergarten there as well. Then we moved to New Hampshire. Anyway, best authentic bagels in neighborhood. I will go after Young & Restless, which was so fabulous yesterday, showing an episode from at least 20 years ago, before I started to watch it. I loved it!
 
I want a medal 🥇and gold stars ⭐⭐ and pats ✋on the back because I actually got dressed and donned warm clothes, went outside and finally picked up the debris from Tuesday's wind.

Does anybody besides me ever read those online articles about all the stuff we're supposed to get rid of right now? Geez. According to the writers of the articles, we have to unload this, that and the other thing from our kitchens, bedrooms, family rooms, living rooms, dining rooms...yada yada yada.

As if that's not enough, we're all too old to wear anything comfortable, a color that's left over from last year, shoes that aren't trendy or anything that hasn't been seen on a fashion runway. And our hairstyles! Omigosh! Our hairstyles have been out for at least 20 years and not only aren't flattering, they never were.

So for all of you going through your closets or decluttering anything, check out the articles. They'll tell you what you can and cannot keep, how to dress this season, which of your kitchen appliances you need to dump and everything not to donate so as not to embarrass yourself.

After all that's done, there will be plenty of info on which thrift stores to visit and what to buy...so you can fill the closets back up and clutter up your home again. Until the next time some nameless, faceless person whom you've never met decrees what you should and shouldn't have and do and wear.

And let's not forget for a second that veggie trays or meat & cheese trays no longer exist. They are charcuterie boards. We're even told what to call things!

I'm supposed to pick up TYO (three-year-old) grandson for the day, but my stomach is a little wonky so I'm in a wait-and-see mode for now. I'd barely pay attention to it if norovirus hadn't hit virtually every family I know (on both coasts!) this holiday season.

Just had a little oatmeal and will see if that settles ok. If so, he and I will hit a couple of grocery stores before coming back to my house. If not, I'll be canceling. 🤞

Truly I can't complain too much - I've dodged the flu that DH (and seemingly everyone else had), also the noro that didn't hit DH or me, but all our kids and their families and friends had it.

Thing is, on the rare occasions when I'm sick to my stomach nowadays I'm very resentful about it, having thrown up way more than my share during my pregnancies. By all rights, the universe should consider my lifetime nausea/vomiting box fully checked. And then some.

Still, if given the choice, I'd take 24-48 hours of yucky noro over the flu and its longlasting residual cough. (This is just between us. Please don't tell the universe I said that.)

Will advise...

I hope you'll feel better asap 🌹
 
Yesterday I jumped up and down on 4 Amazon boxes to flatten and drove them to the dumpster. Yes, drove 🤨. I can't manage them without some slipping. *sigh*

Before that, I walked Doggie up to the wooded path to "go" instead of on the lawn while tethered to the deck. Picking up poop on wet ground is so awful.

We took the walk slow and easy. She went along quite well! I could tell she was happy to be back in her woods. Not today, but we'll do it again tomorrow.

Last night I ate half a frozen mushroom pizza and the other half for brunch today.

Thanks for the laughs!
 
Doc diagnosed cracked ribs. MRI is scheduled for the bump on my head.
SO took me to a small jewelry store in New Castle. Buzzer entry only. He will do some repairs and gave us a guesstimate on setting diamond flush in an existing bolo. Cleaning out "the box". A quick stop at a Mexican Western wear store was a bit strange. Mostly small sizes, lots of bling and fancy boots. Nothing spectacular
