So, since I was feeling a bit unwell, my chore activity has fallen off a bit - the dishes were piled up, the yard wasn't mowed, the... <sigh> But then a flog of birds and a bunch of mice and stuff came and helped and then a fairy godmother.... oh, wait, that was Cinderella. Sorry.
So when you're done with the mice, birds and fairy godmother would you send them my way please . Could really do with the help decluttering - dishes and lawn are handled by my wonderful dad

Dads can be awesome to have around! I miss being near my family.
They can also be a pain in the butt at times, but we get through those times . Being the oldest daughter though, and the one living the closest to him, does mean the responsibility of looking after him is on my shoulders, but so far his health is pretty good and his diabetes is under control. In fact his doc commented last check-up that I must be doing a good job looking after him as he's lost nearly 20 lbs since his partner passed away at the end of last year and he moved back into his house with me full-time.

I managed to get a little tiny bit of decluttering tonight without even trying. I've had a box of books in my cupboard from when I was in Girl Guides (and that's going back a few years ) that I was going to donate to one of the local Guide companies. Anyway, I was talking to the neighbour whose daughter I drive to school in the mornings and we ended up talking about how our respective kids. The daughter is in Guides so I offered her the box of books. I told her to keep whatever was of interest to her and to give the rest to the Guide leader with the message that the leader could keep whatever was of use to her/the company and do whatever she wanted to with the rest.
One box down, unknown number left to deal with. Now if only the rest would be so simple I'd be done in no time .

Baby steps! I'm still feeling overwhelmed. Happens around this time every year, because I have so many outside chores that need to be done before the weather turns.
But just think of all that fresh air and exercise you'll get working on the yard . I'm thinking of borrowing the across-the-road neighbour's leaves just to get in an hour of fresh air and exercise - for some reason there's none on my side of the street so far this year, but he's got a huge pile on his front lawn.
Surely decluttering and reorganizing can wait for a rainy or, dare I say it, snowy day

Wow you both make me feel lazy! I've not had chance to do anything today, I've been too busy GALing, lol Met a friend for a coffee this morning, went to have some lunch, went to see a friend afterwards to talk about having her back room for my business, came home to see my IC and she's only just left.

GALing is good too TTD. I'm at work until 5 so the only GALing I'm going to be doing is socializing with the ladies here at work. Of course, one of them is celebrating her birthday today so it'll be cake at lunchtime .
There's a "Doors Open" event in the city tomorrow, where a lot of buildings that aren't normally open to the public are for one day - and best of all it's a free event . S13 has seen the list and wants to go to the fire station and paramedic station and possibly a couple others, so that's tomorrow sorted. Of course, I'll have to fit in groceries and laundry before we go (at least Doors Open doesn't start til 10 so I'll have a couple of hours to get the chores done first).
At some point, I've got to fit in cleaning the car - it's looking rather grubby inside and out - not to mention vacuuming and dusting, and general tidy-up. Where's Snow White's little helpers when you need them?

lol NQ, I need them here as well That open doors event sounds good, I'm sure we get those over here as well. Tomorrow I'm spending the day with my friend and my son and hers. We're going over to the Cathedral City and going to have a game of crazy golf, a picnic if it's nice and a cup of tea in the cafe It's a fairly big park, so there'll be lots of other things there as well
