Good morning :)

I am all dressed and ready to clean the house today!

Sweep the floors & porches.
Clean the bathroom 100%.
Wash the floors.
Vacuum the carpet.
Wipe/wash off door knobs, light switches and lots of other things.
Dust & polish.
Generally straighten up and put things where they belong.
Shower & shampoo me. ;)

All the above tasks will take me about 4 hours to complete then I basically have the rest of the week to do the more fun things in life.

Have a fun and productive day everybody!

Thanks MayMay & Dianne :)

We are on our own well too and I always keep a jug of water stored on hand
"Just In Case" because the power goes out sometimes for no reason at all.

WTG! On raking all those leaves Tillie. :)

I had a GREAT cardio workout today.
Spent two full hours raking!
In Autumn we leave most of the leaves in the yard.
They cover the plants and help keep them from freezing to death during Winter.
Today I got the rest of them all raked out of my areas. :D

The Daffodils, Iris, Day Lilys, Grape Hyacinth and Rhubarb are all starting to poke their leaves up through the dirt.

Good morning Dianne & MayMay :)

All my plans for today will be put off until tomorrow.
He is home on his unpaid furlough day.
So no reason for me to do the weekly house cleaning with him underfoot.

Thinking about going outside and seeing what I want to do there.
The sun is shining today and the next storm is due in tomorrow.

The trash service changed our pick up day from Monday to Wednesday.
Maybe I can get him to fill all the trash cans!
Yeah right lol :D

Hope everyone has a great day!

Hi Dianne,

Both Matt and Cory are also german shepherds. And I'm also allowed to take them to work with me. :)

I work at a bar but my boss lets me bring Matt and Cory to work with me because everyone loves them so much and they are very well behaved. :)

I don't take them to work with me everyday though. I mostly only take them to work with me on the weekends. :)

And when I do take them to work with me they mostly hangout behind the bar with me while I'm working. :)

Hi Dianne :)
Very happy to hear your Grandson is doing well and am keeping him in my thoughts for a speedy and uneventful complete recovery. (((hugs)))

You sure have a lot of animal tasks!
Makes my two litter boxes, four water bowls, four kibble bowls and dozen blankets/beds seem like a walk in the park. :D

By posting our plans here we become accountable to who ever reads and sometimes that is all it takes for us to make sure to complete our tasks. :)

Sorry you can't come to chat :(

Winter returned over night.
Today is dark & cloudy & cold & wet. :(

He bought me a red rose bush and I was planning to plant it today. Oh Well!

I always worry when he brings me gifts.
Makes me wonder what he bought for himself. How big and it heavy it must be for me to get something nice like a rose bush.

Today my plan is to scrub sanitize and refill the two cat litter boxes.
Clean the kitchen.

Then find something fun to do. :D

I agree. :)
It is easier to go into his room when my allergies take away my sense of smell but I still need to see to climb over everything to get in there. ;)

Hey Lillie,
LMAO! :D

LOL.

As a future "extreme cleaner" I suggest you poke yourself in the nose next time. I have a relatively clean hoard, something I am quite proud of really, :-) I don't hoard trash, animals and their feces and rotting food, but that day could come, there but for the grace of god go I, as they say. But you will, certainly, need your eyes, so be careful. I poke myself in the eye with some frequency ... sometimes I can even manage to put my glasses on without poking myself in the eye. It hurts, and then there's the temporary blindness and all the tearing.

Better to poke yourself in the nose next time, I think.

OUCH!!!!!

I just accidentally poked myself in the eye.

Luckily I can still see out of it though. :)

As a future extreme cleaner, it would be really bad if I went blind. Because if I went blind I wouldn't be able to see what I was cleaning. Lol. :)

Good morning :)

I have no idea what I will be doing today.
The weather is so beautiful again. Lots of sunshine and warm temps.

Going to go have some fun! :D

MayMay,
There were a lot of dirty clothes in his bed too.
The hamper had about three loads in it and with the bedding & two blankets it all was a LOT! :)

Hey Tillie,

WOW!

7 loads worth of laundry to do in his hamper?! And then another 5 or 6 loads of laundry scattered throughout his room?! :o

That's a lot of laundry!

And I thought my room was bad! Lol. ;)

Thanks MayMay :)

Since today is his birthday (55)
I stripped his bed and washed everything.
Then I washed all the clothes in his hamper.
Seven washer loads!
There is still another five or six washer loads all scattered around in there but I only wash the clothes he puts in the hamper. :p

This should make him good and angry :D lol

Hey Tillie,

LOL. :D

Sure I'll come over and clean your hoarders bedroom. I'd be happy to do it. :)

Good morning

MayMay, come here today and clean my hoarder's bedroom.
It really stinks and you can smell it even with the door kept closed.
But be careful because he gets very angry when he discovers that somebody has put clean bedding on his bed and gathered up and washed all his dirty clothing!
That's why I'm not going to do it.

LOL :D

I'm sooooo EXCITED for next weekend! :)

Next weekend I get to go to Houston, Texas. :)

I'm sooooo EXCITED and glad that I get to help another hoarder and that I get to be away from Ohio for 2 weeks. :)

I even booked an appointment to have a spa day during the second week that I am there. :)

I will miss Matt and Cory while I'm in Texas though. :(

WARNING!!!!!

NEVER try to walk and put on pants at the same time!

If you try it, YOU WILL FALL!!!!!

Good morning :)

Another lovely day here.
Have three loads of laundry drying out on the clothes line.

Need to figure out what I want to eat then cook it.
Afterward I will clean the kitchen.

Yesterday evening I was standing at the window admiring how nicely my garden area was coming along with all the raking and pruning I have been doing.
Then a Falcon (Merlin) flew in and perched on a tree branch not 7 feet away from my face!
She sat there a full five minutes fluffing her feathers and preening before she saw her dinner fly by and took off after him.

That is what I love most about living here.
All the beautiful wildlife. :D

OMG! I just found out about the shark attack that happened in New Zealand yesterday! :o

In May I will be going to Hawaii for 3 weeks. And one of the things that I planned on doing while I'm there, is to go snorkeling in the ocean.

But now I don't think I want to go snorkeling when I'm in Hawaii anymore. Because I don't want to get attacked by a shark!

Hi Dianne :)

Sounds like you have a great plan going there.
Spending the evenings with your Granddaughter must be a lot of fun too.

Let us know how your decluttering is going. :)

Good morning :)

I'm thinking about going outside again today.
But depends on the wind not blowing.

Getting out in the fresh air & sunshine does so much to improve a persons mood and general outlook on life.

My daffodils are starting to send up their leaves. Spring will soon be here. YEA! :D

Have some fun today whatever you are doing. :)

Hey Tillie,

Lol. :)

I love ferrets! I really want to get a ferret. But I'm kind of scared that if I do get a ferret, then Cory and Matt might try to eat it. Lol.

Was probably a mouse playing the guitar.
Or maybe a ferret. I once saw a ferret in a guitar.

Me, Matt, and Cory just got woken up by the weirdest noise.

We woke up to what sounded like someone strumming my guitar. At first I thought that it was just my head playing tricks on me or something. But once I saw Cory and Matt react to it, that was when I realized that the noise I heard was real.

It was so CREEPY!

Good morning :)

Just as it was warming up nicely yesterday the wind started blowing. That wind was extremely cold. So I didn't get to go outside.

Going to try again today.

He took today off from work because he has to take care of a speeding ticket and not having proof of insurance in the car when he was pulled over.
This happened the day he was driving to work and developed severe kidney stone pain. Wasn't paying close enough attention to the speed limit due to the pain. :D lol

I know, I'm evil. ;)

Anyways, have some fun today.

Thanks MayMay :D

WELCOME BACK TILLIE!!!!! :D

Good morning :)
Sorry if I worried everyone but I needed to take a break from life for a while.

Not planning on doing a lot today.
Going to go outside when it warms up and do a little cleaning in my garden area.
Mainly just a fun way to enjoy the outdoors and sunshine.

There is the tiny area right in front of the house where I have flowers, bushes and a small patch of grass that I maintain.
It is like a beautiful little oasis surrounded by a desert of hoard and neglect.

When I look out the front window I can see my garden and all the lovely birds that come to visit.

Last night's chatroom was fun. A lot of nice people were there.

Have a pleasant day! :)

Today my totally awesome and totally adorable dogs, Matt and Cory, turned a year old. :)

It's so hard to believe that Matt and Cory are already a year old now. Time goes by so fast. :)

On the agenda for today is to:

Walk Matt and Cory.

Go to Petsmart.

And try not to break down and cry every 5 minutes because A&E wants to cancel "HOARDERS". :(

I just finished giving Cory and Matt a bath. :)

There is seriously no better smell in the world than the smell of a clean dog; or in this case, dogs. Lol. :)

The dog shampoo that I use on Cory and Matt makes them smell like leather. I love the smell of leather. Lol. :)

OMG! I have the 2 most disgusting dogs in the world. Lol.

I just let Cory and Matt inside a few minutes ago. And after they came inside, they immediately jumped on my bed. At the time I didn't realize how dirty they were. So when they jumped off my bed, I was horrified when I saw how much mud they left in my bed. :o

I seriously think that I had a mini panic attack when I saw all the mud that they left in my bed. Lol.

So right now I am going to throw my bedding into the wash and then give Cory and Matt a bath. :)

OMG! I just found out that they are playing a "Rugrats" marathon on "Nickelodeon" right now. :D

"Rugrats" was my all time favorite tv show back when I was a kid. :)

Chucky was my favorite "Rugrat"! Lol. :)

OMG! I just discovered a really HUGE bruise on my knee. :D

It looks so cool! It's really big and really dark! :D

I'm not considering it a mystery bruise though. Because I'm pretty sure that I got it when I fell down a few days ago. Because when I fell, I hit the ground really hard.

Have you and your friends ever been so bored that you decided to look up something really gross on the Internet?

Well my friends and I did and now we totally regret doing it. Lol. :o

OMG! Matt and Cory just scared the crap out of me. Lol.

I just woke up a few minutes ago and I haven't drank my Pepsi yet. So I'm still a little groggy. When I went to get my Pepsi out of the fridge, I thought Matt and Cory were still in my room. But when I shut the door to the fridge, I saw them standing right by it wagging their tails. Lol. They totally scared the crap out of me because I didn't even hear them come into the kitchen.

Have you ever been hungry and tired at the same time?

Because I am right now.

It's so weird!

Right now I want to go eat some pickles but I am also really tired and I just want to go to bed.

I think I am just going to go ahead and go to bed; because I don't want to accidentally fall asleep while eating a jar of pickles. Lol.

OUCH!!!!! I just totally tripped over a pair of my pants and hit the floor really hard when I fell. :o

My knee and my pinky finger are definitely going to be bruised tomorrow.

When I fell my right knee landed right on top of my pinky finger.

Whenever I fall down I always fall in the weirdest ways. Lol.

Hey Tillie,
WTG! On sweeping the floors and cleaning the bathroom. :)

Hi

Got the floors swept & the bathroom cleaned.
Having breakfast then I will...
wash the floors
vacuum
dust

Then I will have the rest of the day to enjoy the clean house. :D

Having a tiny house with no clutter (except his bedroom) makes it easy and quick to clean.
Best thing I ever did was to make NO CLUTTER ZONES.

Later :)

MayMay
I don't think you are a future hoarder.
You are just someone who needs to clean up her room. :)

Hey Tillie,

Lol. :D

Yeah Cory and Matt might have put them under there. Lol. :)

Either they put them under the bed or I also might have just accidentally kicked the pants under the bed too and just not realized that I did it. :)

I have a really bad habit of leaving my clothes on the floor. I'm really really messy like that. Lol. :)

You should see my room right now. It looks really bad. Everyone that knows me is worried that I'm on my way to becoming an actual hoarder. :)

Woke up to fresh clean snow all over the world today. :D
It is still snowing.

Planning to make tacos for supper.
No other plans, just sort of hanging out enjoying being inside looking out at the snow.

Remember live chatroom tonight at 5:00pm PST.
Hope ya'll show up.

MayMay,
The dogs probably put them under the bed to hide them.
You should check under there often to make sure they aren't hiding other stuff.
Cats are always hiding socks under beds.
