Hey Lately some of the sentences were incomplete and then visible and so forth and so on. To not offend anybody with Triskaidekaphobia I made this phase 14. See you soon 😉 | |

I love hummingbirds! The coral bells are just about to open, so the hummingbirds should come looking for them soon. One year we had one accidentally fly into the house and I got it to perch on my finger and carried it outside. It was amazing! It's raining very hard off and on today. We don't see flat cat when it rains. I have mixed feelings about the pizza. We are supposed to stay home, but restaurants are allowed to be open for carry out. And we want to keep our restaurant in business. But I also worry about the employees. But they also need jobs..... Dh put in our grocery order for pick up tonight. Dh also ordered parts to fix the mower and a new CO detector by mail. We decided that if you take your CO detector outside and reset it and it goes off again, and then you change the battery and reset it, and it still goes off outside, either it is broken or the whole neighborhood is doomed. I am doing dishes and laundry today. Tomorrow I have to go to school, unload the kiln, And pack up the kids work,. Then I put it out in the parking lot again and they come to collect it and put new work on the cart. I load the work from the cart, Start the kiln again, wash up, and come home. I will probably bring home another load of stuff from my room. I had my first covid 19 related dream last night. We went back to school, but my boss wouldn't make the students wear masks. We had a big fight about it. I woke up during the fight. Yesterday, I told my daughter I was sad thinking about possibly not being able to take care of my grandson. Dsil said "that's six months from now. We don't know what is going to happen in six months. We could have a cure. Or anarchy." Dd said if it was anarchy they would move in with us and I could see the baby all the time. | |

Good Morning Tatoulia 🙂 WAY TO GO! eliminating those items that have bad emotions attached to them!!! A pillow with beads, sequins, buttons & bows, etc. GOOD LUCK! with the car. FANTASTIC progress on the closet project! But best of all is you letting go of items that remind you of bad times and negative emotions. Washed sheets & pillow cases this morning and they are out on the line. | |

Good Sunday Morning My yard has been swarming with Hummingbirds the last two weeks. For this last week there has been this one Hummingbird that has been coming to the back porch. I keep looking to see if it is nesting near there but so far haven't seen any nest. I used to hang Hummingbird feeders out. Anyways... Sometimes when I am out weeding my garden one will come hover over my shoulder watching what I'm doing. | |

Dear little hummingbird! So sweet. Love hearing about the wildlife including Flat Cat! I'm working on my closet. Have been through a bunch of bags of paper. Getting through it. Committed. Will go to car in a bit to try to drive it. Yikes. I'll I put a measuring cup in there too. I remember when I bought it. I hated the store, I hated who I was with and I had an all around miserable day. So why should I bake with it? I also got rid of a fridge magnet that brought up different bad feelings. I've learned so much here. Love you all so much. | |

Today I got within 8 ft of the new kitty. I tried to give it a treat of goat milk, but it ran away, and then mr. kitty ate the treat. The new kitty has short legs and a wide stocky body and wide flat face. When it sees us, it crouches down very tight to the ground. Today Dh named it "Flat cat". The weather was nice today, so Dh and i took a drive into town for a takeout pizza. | |

Tatoulia, I am so sorry about your friend. I'm afraid we are going to lose a lot of good people before this ends. Let us know how the trip yo Narnia goes. CM, good wishes for your roommate's recovery, and for your cousin. Tillie, I really appreciate you keeping us up on all the news there. I really hope you get your cooler set up soon. New kitty came by this morning to hang out in the driveway. Mr. kitty went out to join and they stared at each other from a few feet apart for a bit - too close for social distancing! Then new kitty followed Mr. kitty around the yard for a short time until Mr. kitty got annoyed and chased his shadow across the front yard. New kitty stopped at the edge of the woods and Mr. kitty came in for a nap. Now Mr. kitty is outside pretending to hunt chickens. The chickens are not amused. Dh has gone to play golf again. I am not sure how I feel about this golf playing. I'm not sure it is entirely safe. But I actually like having him gone for a little while. I generally like having him around, but having him here in the house working is somehow tiring from another person without any of the reward of actually being with dh. When he is here, even if he is out in the woods and I am alone, I don't feel alone. And I need alone time. It is sunny and not too cold, and I want my garden to be nice and my stalls to be clean. But I don't have any motivation to do anything. I just feel tired. I wanted to sleep late this morning. I did sleep in a little, but Dh came at 6:00 and woke me up and begged and cajoled until I got up and made him breakfast. It would have been less effort for him to just make his own breakfast. 12 more days of video school. | |

Good Morning Everyone Hi Subclinical If you had a "Guard" Turkey, Mr. Kitty would learn not to tease the Chickens. LOL Yes, alone time, real alone time. At least golfing is outside in the fresh air. Sorry you weren't allowed to sleep in this morning. Beautiful cool morning here. Scooter found where I hid Mousie last afternoon this morning. The yellow Roses are lovely but my allergies from them are horrid. Looking for some motivation to do something creative. Will get outside and get some vitamin D before it gets hot today. 😉 | |

I will watch some hoarders too! That's what started me out in the first place! Yes I'm going back in! I got some done last weekend and I want more done this weekend!!!! Keep moving forward!!! I had Brigham's chocolate ice cream. My friend has vanilla to which she added tiny chocolate chips. She also had a very good, fascinating story to tell and I was riveted!! Mom continues in a good mood. She's so great. She's loving my daily postcards, which I've upped to two a day. Other friends are also writing to her. On Monday of this week I did every bit of laundry in my home. Imagine how great I felt!!! I will need to do more soon, but I don't think I'll make it anywhere near the washer this weekend. Although, people don't do laundry the way I do. They mix sheets with towels with shirts and I'm all about "like fabrics" in addition to sorting by color. So when I do five loads, they would've done two. They must think I'm nuts. Tillie I hope Steven continues to work on the cooler. I don't want you overheating. CM you've had a long day of worry. I am grateful your cousin is getting the medical care she needs and I am grateful your roommate is back home. How nice that she has a lovely family. Must make it much easier on you. Okay back to bed. I've been laying down for a few hours. Just because. My depression continues to be lifted and I am surprised and pleased. | |

Good Night That's very good news CriticalMass. Hi Tatoulia So happy you are motivated to get back into that closet! 😀 It is one less worry that your Mom is content and receiving daily mail. The one thing that helps lift the depression is acceptance. I always sort fabrics like with like. Have had a bag of frozen raspberries in the freezer for a while, saving them. Today the write in ballots came in the mail. | |

Yay Tatoulia for decluttering mojo! Tillie, fingers crossed the cooler gets completely up and running. My roommate returned about 1:30 looking really pale. They hadn't given her pain meds to go home on. After her sister and hubby got the pills picked up and she took one, she felt better and had some color. She's been up and about more later in the day here. I finally got word on my cousin. They got it worked out today to transport her to Kansas City where there is an MRA machine. Like an MRI only it can image the insides and linings of blood vessels. My van got the oil changed, the AC is okay, but it needs a new valve cover gasket. I had wondered when it might because there had been some leakage. My stimulus money did come on Wednesday, and I think it will take a chunk but not the whole thing. And I think it's a good investment to prevent bigger problems. So that is set to happen on Tuesday. We are all pretty tired from this day that started at Zero Dark Thirty. I feel confident I will sleep well. Hoping my roommate does too, and her family. | |

You so CAN do it Tatoulia! That diningroom closet? Let the music play!!! An ice cream social sounds like a lot of fun!. From the news on my internet homepage, your state is still very infectious. You have high humidity, because the air is so dry here I have a lot of static electricity. ANNOUNCEMENT So, lots of free episodes to watch to help motivate. 😀 Tomorrow Netflix will have episodes of "HOARDERS" again too. He has done a little bit more toward setting up the cooler. | |

Tillie! I'm so pleased about the virus news in your county! Boston continues to have a lot of people exhibiting truly unsafe behavior. Very upsetting. Good for you to get your water! That will taste so yummy. Nothing beats a cool glass of water. I missed my yoga class tonight. I thought it was 5:30. It was 4:30. Oh well. I'll go back to Tuesday nights because I know when those start. I had an "ice cream social" with a friend via FaceTime today. I've gotten good at this. It feels like an absolute visit! It got sunny and humid here today. I ran up to see BF for two seconds then ran to grocery store quickly for ice cream. So humid and I hopped in shower the second I got back. I'm going to lay down a bit. I'm really, really happy with my decluttering thoughts right now. I'm ready to let go. So I'll be back in my dining room closet later tonight or early tomorrow. I am so pleased with how I'm thinking. If I put on music, I can do it!! | |

Good Morning Everyone Hoping with you CriticalMass that no news means good news about your Cousin. Happy Roommate's family are with her today. Fingers still crossed the van costs nothing more than new oil and oil filter, XXX Keep up that good feeling about cleaning and decluttering momentum! Hi Subclinical 🙂 Hi Tatoulia YEA! for the pretty paper plates and napkins and at a super discount too! Honestly, we are never "done" decluttering. OK, need to do cat things and get dressed. My county is still only 3 infected one death and about 150 people tested negative. | |

Happy May Left home at 9:45am and returned at 10:30am. At the bank I very briefly spoke with the teller through the intercom. The water depot machines take 1s and 5s, quarters, dimes and nickels. Steven is still in bed. | |
