Have been making progress on micro-decluttering. Like…one drawer at a time. But it it’s progress, I’m happier. DH is de-cluttering the basement….not so micro. And I hate to think how much he’s sneaking out in the trash bags. I doesn’t know all my plans for certain items but….sigh. I can’t physically sort it so…whatever. He does prepping so no danger there but I’m a bit more “creative” in my use of recycled things. lol
Received 2 Doans brand magnesium blocks and will see if I can get THEM to work better than my originals. ….pending.
Still working on knots. Hard to log things into memory these days…you know? My hands know many knots already but it’s kind of interesting to see some new ones.
I am still studying language over at Duolingo every day. I’ve found that fascinating. Always like languages…. studied Spanish several years during school. Long ago! A different language in college, tho only a year. Now I’m trying a different one. Had just an introduction to it…before settling down a few months ago and beginning in earnest. I don’t spend a lot of time there but I do go over every day. 🙂 Thanks so much for the tip for that free site, @daisy We all need intellectual stimulation too.
SIGH…..the MICE are completely back. Had a “hatch” of babies. My bucket-spinning-bottle-with-PeanutButter trap has been catching the tiny offspring. Hmph! Since losing beloved cat months ago, we’ve been using poison in those green blocks. This morning early….way tooo early….I FINALLY figured out why I keep waking up. DH and dog were not guilty of noise at that hour. Scuttle and clunk under the bed…..MICE trying to remove the green block was the culprit. NOISY varmints! So this is war. DH brought home more of the plastic cases to secure the blocks. Previously he’d constructed a cardboard box with just a mouse sized hole to put them into. They do keep running off with the blocks once they’re gnawed down small enough to fit it out of the box. OK…eat anywhere they like. Their mission this morning was successful. BUT I want a less noisy means of delivery!!! Hmph.
OldMtWoman ….THIRD TRY to post this. Hmph!
