Friday Report

[adair]

I have not done much on the unclutter front this week. I took 4 books to the B2P workroom, but that's about it on getting things out of the house. I am spending a lot of time on the couch with a book - the lazy late summer activity. I plan to run the shredder for a while this evening, and tomorrow we have to go to a great-niece's wedding, and help my sister get our mother and my sister's mother-in-law, who live in the same nursing home, down to the big activity room where the wedding will be held. This place was chosen because it was cheap and would make it easy to bring two women in wheelchairs. Then there is the reception, with about 120 people. I expect to be exhausted when we get home.

I will get back to the declutter work next week - probably more work with books and LibraryThing.

I hope you all have a fab time at the wedding.

I have listed 2 old duvets on freecycle and someone is coming to pick them up on Monday.

The wedding was entertaining; I recognized none of the music played; a friend of the groom ran downloaded music through speakers. What I heard of the lyrics seemed sort of related to the event, but I knew none of it. Age catches up with everyone; I am 72, Zenna is 21. We really live in different worlds.

Wow! I am impressed that people actually can move things on by freecycle or sales. I may have to look for a way to sell my mother's lap harp. It has been sitting in my living room for about 10 years, behind a couch. It is probably shear laziness that keeps me from dealing with it.

I used to have a lot of luck with Freecycle -- about 1 in 10 either wouldn't go at all, or the people wouldn't show up, but I got rid of so much stuff that would otherwise be unmovable. And then it moved to Facebook, and I just gave up (everyone puts photos on things, and argh, that is too much commitment).

I suspect there would be any number of people interested in the lap harp, although whether they would be willing to pay an appropriate amount of money might be a different thing. There may well be appropriate groups around where you can advertise it -- around here, I would try the Irish Club :)
