Week 1 review / Week 2 start

[rmc28]

Goals for week 1 were:

• get in touch with the gardener
• hours-of-power: Sun x2, Tue x1, Thu x2, Fri x2

Actually achieved:

• Sun 1x hour-of-power
• Freecycle emails

Yeah, it turns out I drastically ovestimated my capacity / motivation here. It doesn't help that I'm also behind on a language course, and given the choice between catching up on that, and decluttering: well I did my language study.

Goals for week 2:

• contact the gardener
• hours-of-power: Sat x1, Sun x1, Wed x1

week's work

[yukonsally]

Spouse had the opportunity to pick out an annual prize from employer and instead of choosing a thing, Spouse chose some (subpar but oh so good) cookies in a tin!  Spouse decided we didn't need another thing cluttering up the house.  I'm so proud.

Eldest Child and I went through summer clothing and kept some, added some to the handmedown box when I've since shipped. 

I sold TWO things within an hour of listing them!  One was purchased to resell at a profit, one was an electronic toy thingy Spouse decided to part with after cleaning the office today.  To do my part to clean the office, I wound those two thrift store skeins of yarn and put them away.

Assorted personal wins:  Garage sale across the street.  I didn't buy a thing.  I visited another second hand shop and didn't buy a thing.  I purchased only necessary things at a second hand shop (water bottle because kids lose them, the thing to resell, yarn I'll use then sell the resulting item, and a CD from my childhood.  so close.). 

Upcoming goals:  Work with the handed down to me clothes for the kids to condense as possible.  Return things to a store (requires a minor road trip).
