Finally progress on Cleaning Extravaganza Week #3

It's Thursday and I'm really just getting going but it's alright as at least I am going!  I went straight to work in the bedroom today.  I first took the vacuum brush to the baseboards and corners and the carpeting right next to the baseboards where the vacuum never gets.  Not the entire room mind you....just the area I was working on.  Don't you love all the wires?  I thought I was wireless but evidently not completely.
I cleaned the dresser and polished and cleaned all the remotes and wires and "boxes".  Might as well watch a knitting podcast while I'm cleaning.
I cleaned out all the drawers and was able to fill 1/2 of a shopping bag with more stuff for the Salvation Army.
This is my journal drawer...it's full because I haven't taken 2019 out of there yet.     
This drawer has a few scarves and gloves and shoe accessories...........
This drawer holds the weather radio and extra batteries and shoelaces plus instructions for the t.v. and fiber connection and a spare battery for the carbon monoxide detector.
I cleaned out all the rest of the drawers too which really weren't too bad as I had cleaned them out not too long ago.........

I cleaned the top of this nightstand next to my bed but the drawers?  Oh boy.....those are going to be a job in themselves....I tend to throw things in them and they will have to be totally emptied out, cleaned and organized.  I have lots of things that I use on my nightstand....chapstick, hand cream, night meds, books, mirror, kleenex....not counting my craft paraphernalia!  That nightstand alone may take all day! LOL!
I got treasures in the mail today!!!  My needle punch...........with an instruction booklet and 3 different needle sizes
 The pattern I picked out came with the material and instructions.  I thought this pattern was so cute!
 I'll be reading up on it tonight and then hopefully tomorrow I'll trace the pattern and give it a go!
It was a great day for cleaning as it was dark and gloomy and rainy all day and still is.....cozy weather!
Here are your "tidbits"  for today...........I believe this with my whole heart!
 This is really useful and I can never find the information when I need it.....I think I'll print it off and put it in my bill paying notebook.
I know it's winter but for some reason, this looked so refreshing to me!  I must be de-hydrated!  Here's the recipe

a little bit of humor never hurt anyone.........
 
Happy Trails!!!

  3. I was just reading about your closet and bedroom cleaning to Dennis. You inspire me. If I have the energy tomorrow I'm going to go through my clothes closet ruthlessly. I HAVE to get rid of some things and I'm never going to fit in them again no matter how hard I try.
    I tried to print your hints out on what papers we need to save but I couldn't get it to work so I'm going to try to find another one. It's good information to have. We have our taxes since 1990 and I don't think we need to save them for 30 years! Or do we? I always worry that as soon as I get rid of something, that's when I'll need it. :-)
    I so appreciate you my dear friend. More than you know. Isn't that strange considering we've never even met "with skin on?"
    Blessings,
    Betsy

    1. I run out of energy too so I take a lot of breaks but I get back up an go at it! I don't get a lot done but I get something done. As for taxes, you only need to save them for 7 years. In fact, other than marriage licenses, mortgage, divorce, adoption...birth and death certificates....I think 7 years is the max for anything. I got that on Pinterest but if you Google you will probably find lots more. You could also call your accountant or book keeper if you have one. I used to but now my life and finance are so simple I just use Turbo Tax.

    1. How did you manage to get 3 days off? LOL! I just do a little bit here and there but as long as I make some progress that's all that counts. Good for you on the Blaithan! I'm so far behind but I am choosing things to finish in order of priority now so hopefully I'll make some progress there too! Yes, staying busy is the key! Or napping! LOL!

  6. The pineapple lemonade looks great Sam, winter or not!! Congrats on the organizing. Look at all of those remotes lol...I remember those days. We don't own a tv, we just watch stuff on our laptops so the days of the remote are gone! Well, unless we break down and get a big screen! :) PS: No package yet! I checked yesterday!

  8. I was a HIV-AIDS patient and I got it from cheating on my wife. It was sort of a payback but a week later I was told by a friend that the person who I cheated with had the HIV-AIDS virus and did not tell me. I was so stupid by not using a condom I thought since he was an old school friend he was trustworthy. But I was wrong. I cried and cried. Two days later, I got a phone call from my friend and he told me about a person who is known by another friend, who can help me. I could not let my wife know what I was going through. I finally got his email address: oseremenspelltemple@gmail.com and I emailed this man my story and he replied me immediately saying i should be calm and told me that everything will be OK. I could not come to terms with what I was hearing but then I concluded it did not matter because I was so broken I just needed help. I was going out of my mind literally. I was confused with what he was telling me, but I listened. He told me about some materials i need to buy that he needed to cast the spell and I said OK. I bought the materials to him, I sent down my picture to him and my positive result sheet and he replied me that i am going to be negative under 3days. I message Him every 2hours for 2day and I knew he thought that I was crazy but I did care I needed a shoulder. Behold, the third day he messaged me i should go for a test that i will be negative. My marriage could be broken because of a stupid mistake and my life was on the line. I remembered when I was going to get the results of my re-test I called him up again and told him that I was going to get my results today and his reply was “so" and that everything will be as he explained. I knew then that he was getting tired of me calling him, maybe I was wrong. Well I got my results and the first person I called was him - again. As he said hello I started to cry and cry. I could not believe it. I was given a second chance in life.This man is a great spiritual HIV/AIDS healer, his healing spell on aids healing is very powerful .please brothers and sister, contact Dr Ose oseremenspelltemple@gmail.com
