I've started this challenge off and on a couple times and either forget about it or can't find the thread. I'm in for a few days at least.

Tonight ( I hope )
1. Finish putting away the one box I dragged out this morning and finish either tossing or putting away.
2. Unload the dishwasher and put away what's in the sink.
3. Put away at least a few things on the kitchen counter.

Still moving things in from the house from when we moved. Long slow process and no one wants to get rid of anything....not working.

*Sort through coupons

I've been scattered all over the place as well and need to get things back in order.

Been canning and dehydrating a lot lately so this morning I've been getting things cleaned up and organized so I can get everything where it belongs.

Need to finish up two loads of laundry that didn't get done Wednesday.

Get salads prepped and burgers made for grilling later this evening.

Telephus, check with the place where you want to donate the clothes. Our local GW sorts the ripped and stained stuff and bales it to be sold by the pound to some business that does something with old fabrics, so GW still profits from donations of unusable clothing. The place you donate may want the stained clothes anyway. Beats throwing them out, if they can be used in some way.

Today I plan to:

~dismember an old love seat in my office.
~set up table to use while sorting books in office.
~work on beading project.
~load dishwasher.
~make something to use up cheap cottage cheese recently purchased.
~vacuum love seat cushions so they can be donated.

~work on beading project.

~vacuum love seat cushions so they can be donated.
I decided not to make any supper, since there are leftovers available.

I also decided to wait to vacuum the cushions till the new small vac I'm about to order shows up.

I will be doing some beading later this evening, so should be 4/6 before going to bed.

4/4 yesterday - sort of - I told DH to finish his own laundry since I was tied up in the kitchen

Monday:

Tidy Kitchen - late dinner last night and left most of the mess until this morning - done

Put canners away, check lids on cool jars, wash all jars and rings - done

When dry, date stamp and set aside (need to re-organize the shelves before I add the new stuff)

Tidy up the house - done

Tidy up my "mesk" (messy desk) - done

I didn't get my list done last time. Part of that is my washing machine broke! However, I have felt particularly accomplished so far this week.

I have:
Voted
Made it to a Mother's Club Meeting (and got the minutes done and printed out)
Made it to a church group Meeting (and had the homework done)
Fixed a flat tire
Called and lifted the fraud alert off our credit card
Paid some bills
Called and got a doctor's note for DS's medication
Called and moved my hair appointment
....and remembered to take out the trash today!!

So - trying this again -

For Thursday, 11/8:
*Go to LSEPAC meeting
*Read 2 magazines in my pile
*Get together recycling for next week
