Omg! I have this old song called "FREAK ME!" stuck in my head and it will not go away! It's really weird that the song is even stuck in my head because I haven't heard it in forever. Even though it has been my favorite song ever since I was a little kid. 🙂

Cory Chalmers has a farm E I E I O

You are fricking hilarious Tillie. LOL.

Even if I do nothing else, Thursdays are always trash, recycle and dog poop days.

My trash service picks up Friday morning so I take the trash out, and the guys who mow my lawn come on Fridays so I gather up previously picked up and bagged dog poop that's in the dog poop bucket, and the fresher "deposits" from the yard and put them in the trash. And even though they only pick up my recycle every other week, I usually take it out to the can because I'm kind of in the taking stuff out mode anyway, and the bins I use in the house are usually full by then anyway.

I will probably do some dishes and a load of laundry tonight too. Pretty standard, non-hoarder type stuff on the agenda today.

I accidently slept in today.

Oh well...

Just got 3 loads of laundry on the clothes line.
Got the cats all fed & watered.

Need to sweep leaves off the porches and get some more leaves off the carpet.

Planning to get out my winter coats, too cold any more for just a sweater.

Going to swap out summer curtains for the winter drapes too.

Have a great day today whatever you do. 🙂

I woke up this morning and checked the video camera again to see if there was any paranormal activity last night; and it turns out that there was some activity. As I was watching what was on the camera I noticed that a water bottle fell off my coffee table last night. And then a few minutes later another water bottle fell over on my coffee table. It was so weird to actually see it happen.

Aww, poor Marty.
I'm glad he's ok. 🙂

I just saw something that totally freaked me out!

Was looking out the front window and saw Marty (the cat) come sailing down off the roof.
Hit the ground pretty hard too.
Looked like he was trying to jump into the tree but really missed it bad.
So far, looks like only his pride was hurt. 😉
He is inside now taking a nap (pouting).

OMG! Cory just scared the crap out of me! I was putting away a towel and when I went to walk away I looked down and noticed that Cory was standing there right next to me. He totally freaked me out because I didn't even hear him walk up to me. He's very sneeky that way. lol. 🙂

I woke up this morning and checked the video camera set up in my room to see if there was any paranormal activity in my room last night. The camera did not show any sort of activity but it did catch a rattling sound that I have never heard before coming from near my trash can. The rattling sound wasn't that loud and it only lasted for about 10 seconds; but it was still really freaky.

I don't have that much planned for today. Right now I am getting ready to take Cory and Matt for a walk. 🙂

Baby steps will get it done and will help keep you from getting too frazzled, frustrated and worn out. 😀

Whyyyy is there sooo mucchhh paper !! I can't seem to just toss and go, geezz - ok enuf moaning,

Hi Tillie, thinking of you and my Crew,,,, hating the slow going ...need to remember it wasn't built in a day -

Wonderful to see you NewLife! 😀

Sounds like you have a great plan for today.

My To-Dos for the day are to do a little garden clean up if the weather permits.

Need to sweep and vacuum again because the leaves keep getting inside. 😀

Have a GREAT day everybody! 😀

ok - my garden looks good...

haha, my flowers are still growing, i have a lovely green/white ivy that lasts all year, and exotic colorful plants, trimmed everybody down, weeded the leaves, i love pruning the outside - you couldn't compare it to the inside - now i will go thru 2 grocery bags of papers - do it quickly, oh pls let me do it quickly 10:30 - i walk in peace, love, joy, gentleness and patience

Time for Work
Hi All, been busy with outside things and enjoying the lovely fall in my birthday month - time to get back to work - working from 9 to 10, hoping to go longer - tv on loud with joyce meyer, creflo dollar, let's make a deal - hope we all clean something today. Mind over Matter. 🙂 got to gooo!!!

That's hilarious Tillie. 😀

I should rake up a bunch of leaves tomorrow so Cory and Matt can play in them. Because they would probably love to do that. 🙂 this is their very first autumn so they've never played in a huge pile of leaves before. 🙂

I have always loved Autumn 😀

Used to rake up the biggest pile of leaves I could just so my dog could do her favorite thing.

She would take a running jump right into the middle of all the leaves and spend hours buried in the leaves.
If someone happened to walk past she would jump up like a "Jack In The Box" and scare them.
Happy times 😀

OMG! I just looked out the window and realized that our yard is already covered in leaves AGAIN! It's so crazy because just yesterday my brother came over and cleaned the yard and now there are even more leaves in our yard.

Ok, so my room is officially off limits until Sunday. You probably think that i am crazy for doing this, but This morning some of my friends came over to help me set up a camera to try and catch any type of paranormal activity that happens in my room. And then every morning after I wake up I will check the camera to see if it caught anything. I really hope that it does catch something. I actually put some stuff around my room so that I can see if whatever is in there will mess with it. And I also locked the door to my room so that no one will be able to get in there. My friends actually think that it's awesome that my room might be haunted but I am totally freaked out by it.

Good morning everyone 🙂

I'm planning to rewatch the new HOARDERS episode again online.
Drinking my tea and having an oatmeal raisin cookie for breakfast. 😀

ToDos for today are pretty much just look around and do whatever inspires me.

Sun is shining right now but there are big dark clouds moving in closer.

Have a great day whatever you are doing. 😀

MayMay,
settle down and quit going to see spooky movies. 🙂

OMG! OMG! OMG! Some more PARANORMAL ACTIVITY has just occurred again in my room! Right now it is almost 3:00A.M. Where I live and a water bottle filled with water has just fallen off my coffee table in my room. Me, Cory, and Matt were sleeping when it happened and it woke us up and totally FREAKED US OUT! So right now we are going to try and go back to sleep in the guest room and tomorrow I am going to try and figure out a way to find out why this has been happening lately. I am thinking about getting some video cameras set up in my room to record everything that happens. Kind of like what the people did in all 4 of the "PARANORMAL ACTIVITY" movies. And then if I see any kind of activity on the cameras then I might go out and get a wigi board so I can try to connect with what ever spirit or demon that is in my room.

Hey MayMay,
sell tickets and make some money giving tours of your haunted house for Halloween. 😀 LOL

OMG! There is some major PARANORMAL ACTIVITY going on inside my room right now! No joke! I was just laying on my bed watching tv next to Cory and Matt, when all of a sudden I hear this loud bang come from inside my closet. Then right after I heard the bang, suddenly it sounded like stuff was falling off the shelves in my closet. When I went to see if something fell, everything looked normal. I am so FREAKED OUT right now!

My To-Do list for today...
Tidy up the house
clean bathroom
vacuum, sweep

Since it is an over cast rainy day
I have all the ingredients and will be making
oatmeal raisin cookies.
Then I will clean up the kitchen.

Have a GREAT day everyone. 🙂

Hi Cory,
Glad you got to see your kids 😀
A winter storm knocked me off line before chat was over. 🙁
Sheryl was there but she was exhausted & needed to sleep.

The burn barrel....

Well while I was burning I was "discussing" with my hoarder/squallorer things that have to be done around here.
I kept my voice down and spoke rationally and logically about these things, mainly the septic tank.
He immediately got his pantiees in a twist, started getting very mean and nasty, slamming stuff around, as usual.
But for the first time I did not allow this to make me back off.
I got very close to his face and very quietly told him to "stop that".
He stopped. WOW.
I also told him that he had to deal personally with any service men that would be coming to the house.
That is when he literally choked. Thinking about himself having to face being publicly outed for this mess he has made here.

All the while I was burning my beloved antique medical books and my more current medical books.
Burned my vintage clothes and a whole lot of my personal items that were burnable.
Also used the hammer on some glass items too.

I gathered up a lot of sticks and branches and some pieces of rotted wood laying around and had the fire burning HOT.

Good morning everyone 😀

Tina,
Good luck with your stealth mission and remember to take good care of yourself. Don't over do.
(((hugs)))

Have fun MayMay. 😀

Mary,
I am very proud of what you have accomplished already.
Let that guilt and shame go. You are a worthy person who just had her life get out of control.
You are doing a fantastic job!
(((HUGS))), Tillie

Just had hoard cleaned out over the weekend. Today I'm trying to clean up residual dirt & grime & assess structural damage. Feeling very emotionally drained from the experience and feel very vulnerable with all my stuff gone. Also feeling guilt and shame to have someone come in and see how I let things go so long. No idea how much it will cost me to get things back to where they should be. Dealing with so much anxiety right now...long road ahead.

Hey Cory,
Is your son single? Because I love marines. 😉

Today I plan on doing some chores around the house. And then later on today I am going to go to the mall with one of my friends. She still doesn't have her halloween costume yet. So I am going to the mall to help her find a costume. :).

I spent an entire week gathering a very sizable collection of items to donate to a local homeless shelter, but I got sick before I could deliver them. Of course, I discovered that my husband dragged everything I had packed up to donate back into the house during my illness... (Even though none of the items were his!) So my mission for today is to go into Super Stealth mode and load as much of it as I possibly can into my pick-up truck & haul-ass out of the driveway with it before he can catch me. lol!
