Yesterday I donated two socks with small holes. The place I am donating to recycles fabric. I really need to get a move on and get this tally going up again! 209/1000 | |

Happy Birthday hat, into the donate bin. 210/1000 | |
| Lila | Posted: 25 March 2023 - 06:00 PM |
one bra, new but too small, into the donate bin. I need someone to take this donate box out to my car for me. I always feel uneasy when the box is still in my bedroom, like I might dig through it and take things back out. I want to start a fresh box. 199/1000 | |

5 more items gone. The scrawny house plant I threw out, and some stuff into the donate bin including a small glass, some kind of tape, a brand new hot/cold mit for injuries (I have another one exactly the same), and some other random thing. 215/1000 | |

Good morning. I tossed and donated a few things today but didn't write them down. I will see what I can remember: An old medication, a velvet necklace envelope, a pair of holey underwear, an old bottle of conditioner. I also cut up a whole pile of old credit cards and tossed some old paperwork, but I am not counting that in my tally. Will add more later today. 219/1000 | |

Good job SubC! Son carried my box to the car, WITH that plaque I wanted gone in it. 200/1000 | |

Today I got rid of one pair of old underwear and one very large but flaking fake leather recliner. 221/1000 | |

?for 200 items!? Yesterday I cleaned the chicken coop and worked on my pottery class homework. 25/300 I am 1/12 of the way there in about a month. I am not necessarily accomplishing discrete things each day I work on my non-routine/not just survival/daily maintenance things, but I am making progress on them each time. I am letting the house slowly get messier again though. For now I am happy with the trade off. | |

Today I donated 9 DVDs in cases, and dismantled/threw out a broken DVD shelf. 231/1000 | |

Those question marks are supposed to be confetti cones! | |

So far today, I got rid of an old dog ball and threw out 2 glass things that got chipped. 234/1000 | |

I went to the bank and finally got a thing resolved. It ended up only costing me $10. 26/300 | |

Moved the rabbit hutches, started cleaning out the old pullet pen so I can reset it for the new overgrown chicks. 27/300 9% | |
| Subclinical | Posted: 02 April 2023 - 08:21 PM |
Got frustrated with the pullet pen. Completely disassembled and rebuilt it better. Moved the chicks in. 28/300 | |

Planted peas. They were the wrong seeds, but I've decided to give myself credit anyway. 29/300 | |

At storage unit today, pulled out +/- 3 cubic feet of books and misc. for senior center garage sale next week. Including a big old lidless plastic tub that I loathe. | |
| Lila | Posted: 14 April 2023 - 02:14 PM |
I'm back at it. Donated - set of foam letters, 2 candles, a bag of metal stakes of some kind. Threw out an old bag of candy I found in my room. 205/1000 | |
| Lila | Posted: 14 April 2023 - 08:31 PM |
Out went a box of ex's junk that was hiding behind a chair, all useless crap. I'm just counting this as one item. 206/1000 | |
| Lila | Posted: 10 March 2023 - 04:40 PM |
I'm baaack. I tossed a glass bottle I have been saving my the sink for like 2 months. It is just a cheap vinegar bottle, and I am giving myself freedom from guilt about not washing it out and using it. More than that I just needed to get it gone. 187/1000 | |

Yesterday I cleared the sale display off my class shelf and replaced the work in progress. I'm calling that a win. 22/300 | |
| Subclinical | Posted: 11 March 2023 - 08:21 PM |
Yesterday I stayed after school to load the kiln. I would have had to do the firing soon anyway, but I stayed so I could get one tiny dish in and see the results before my break is over, which is part of my getting things done, and I was very tired and it was very hard to push myself, so I am going to count it. Today I cleared more brush from the abandoned garden area. It is ready for Dh to get in and do the part he can do with the chainsaw and the brush hog. Then I will have to finish off the rest. 14/300 | |

Yesterday I signed up for the spring pottery sale and potted up some of my seedlings (unfortunately not all that need it, but some. Poco a poco.) 23/300 | |
| Subclinical | Posted: 27 February 2023 - 06:55 AM |
Lila, you are inspiring me. The way you just keep plugging along at it. I was going to say nothing yesterday, but I stopped at a store and bought soil for starting my plants. Even though they didn't have exactly what I wanted, I said good enough and bought it. That's someth8ng. So, soil. 4/300. | |

Yesterday I tried to contact someone about a goat. This is in service to my long term goals. They have not responded, but reaching out is hard for me, so I am giving myself credit even though there was no actual progress. 15/300 5% | |
| Subclinical | Posted: 27 February 2023 - 07:07 PM |
Brush cut, coop drained, recycling out of basement 5/300 | |
| Subclinical | Posted: 13 March 2023 - 08:43 PM |
I worked on the counter and found a long lost check that has been stressing me out! I finally got my bivalent booster I took care of two not fun jobs in the barn that I tend to put off (which never brings good results) I made plans to go see the goat. I scheduled the cat's vet appointment. Yay me! 16/300 | |

Yesterday I repotted some tomatoes and fed the sour dough starter. 6/300 Two percent. | |

I tossed 3 xmas themed popcorn tins and an old she box. I'm aware that those items tins/shoe boxes are really just a way to hide useless items. I always thought re-using items mentioned was a cool idea to store stuff. ugh the shoe box had 20+ dried out pens. My mother managed to toss the junk mail, but another pile is already starting. Unfortunately, she's being discreet about it because it in a box behind the table. | |
