WEDNESDAY

There's no moot tonight so Leofwyna was surprised I was home when she finally woke up about 7:30 this evening. Once she was awake I started the dryer for the last stage of my laundry then we went to the Chinese Buffet for supper as neither of us felt like taking the time to cook. Later I did a brief session of "pick 'n put" while she was on the computer.

Pick 'n put is dealing with the little things that get left here and there during the course of life that belong elsewhere. Getting the coat off the chair and onto the hook behind the door, taking the purse into the bedroom, taking the pile of magazines finished with into the backroom and put in a box of magazines that will be sold at the next rummage sale, getting the table cleared and so forth. This amounts to an hour or so every week and still is never really completely finished.

THURSDAY

Got my laundry folded and put away this morning then loaded things in the car to take to the consignment shop. This is the last of Little Sister's clothes and a few more we've sorted out of our own closets. The coat closet is now nearly clear and we'll be able to get our coats out of our bedroom closets. I'll be VERY glad to reduce the crush in my closet as it's been very tight in there all these months.

[NOTE: I'd forgotten about the box of summer things that still needs to go to the second consignment shop in the spring.]

The first consignment shop didn't take but half the large pile of stuff I carried in... they are extremely choosy there. The Classic which is large sized took only half what I had for them but we're pretty much on top of that stuff anyway. I got lazy and didn't go to the last shop where I'll probably get to leave 80% of what I have left but I'll be sure to do that tomorrow. Leofwyna has someone she wants to give anything that's left to so I won't be taking it to Goodwill this time.

Tonight is the monthly get together at Leofwyna's household and I'm (as always) invited to join in. I think I'll probably go tonight for a change as I haven't seen some of these people for quite awhile. I'll take my knitting along to keep my hands busy.

Back at home I dumped together some cotton shirts and skirts into a basket; I've been picking these up at the thrift stores for quilting cotton. Took this downstairs and started breaking them down... buttons in the jar, flat deconstructed cotton pieces in a laundry basket to go through the washer before pressing and sorting onto the shelves. I've gotta get on the ball and put the sewing space back together so this can happen.
