We had brunch today with good friends and then I went with Bob to the fairgrounds so he could pick up his entry in a woodworking show and see if he won anything. His chess set was voted 1st place and he won a Bosch product. He chose a special radio that is fully equipped to play MP3s and hooks up to a computer and has the capability to recharge all rechargeable items. Pretty neat and I was very proud of him and he was really tickled. Because he won 1st place, his entry goes on to national in Houston for judging.
Today was not a good day for my conquering clutter. In fact, it was pretty depressing.I worked on all the clutter on the kitchen counter and barely put a dent in it. Then I decided I needed to pay some bills and realized how my bills were in total disarray. During this past year I picked up a suggestion for keeping bills in order and off the counter. I bought a small organizer like a basket with pockets and the idea was to put all important mail and bills in this container. When I went to pay some bills, I found many old ones that had been paid still in the container and only one current one. The rest were buried in a heap on the kitchen counter! So tomorrow, instead of tackling my spare room, I need to get the kitchen counter and my bills in order. I think what I need to do is bring the basket to the kitchen counter as I sort the mail and immediately put things in the basket. What I have been doing is putting them aside on the counter planning to put them in the basket (which I keep in the spare room) later and often later never comes! Right now I am very discouraged and disgusted with myself.
