blech.. going through the kid’s toybox today made me realize just how much stuff this kid has accumulated in a very short 2.5 years. i have no where to put the stuff he no longer plays with. we’ve been keeping everything, but it’s so overwhelming that part of me just wants to get rid of it.
You honestly don’t have to read any further -lol-

under Misc to do, WASH DOG should also be there.
squeaker’s gone off with oma and pops for the day. i suspect they are at the farm looking for charlotte and wilbur :P
kev and i are having the funtimes of doing a bit of cleaning up in the den. i just sorted out the drawer for it to go back upstairs into the TV stand, one side for much watched, the other side for remotes and game controllers. kev’s currently on spider patrol while fixing up the bookshelves down here so that we can more effectively store all our movies. There are a lot I’ll be dragging out to the garage sale in April I think. We’ve rebought on blu-ray quite a bit and well, the rest of the VHS tapes? We’ll make a list and endevour to find them on other media format. Not sure how far he’s going to go into the bookshelf fixing and sorting but there are 2 CD shelves and shelf set filled to the brim with books. Still trying to figure out where to go for my 24 evacuation promise kev made -lol- He said if I leave with Lucien he’ll sort the workroom. It’s funny when you’re old and married what excites you -lol-The only thing that he could say to work me up more is to tell me we’re getting a new fridge -lol-
well mostly my house -lol- everything else is fine.
I spent most of yesterday afternoon picking up,sorting toys, dusting, putting things away and vacuuming the living room. Today I spent most of my waking hours tackling the kitchen. Aside from a few things (a lamp that i need to get a piece from IKEA that was missing when I bought it and pumpkins that are going to be made into PIE), it’s clean and tidy. It even ECHOS when you talk in it. That part is cool.
I moved a bunch of stuff up into their respectful places, now they just have to be put away. Lots of scrapbooking stuff (papers, stickers and odd things that have been kicking around), Lucien’s shoes and a bunch of stuff went into the bathroom cupboard. Tomorrow while Lucien is at school I’m going to be getting x-rays done on my back and if I have time taking my camera to Henry’s to be looked at before the extended warranty wears out (which is Monday). If I run out of time, I’ll go after I get him from school.
Things I’d like to get done here at home tomorrow would be most of the laundry washed (and hopefully folded) and Lucien’s clothing sorted. I need to put away the stuff that fits, pack away the stuff that doesn’t fit and set aside next year’s clothing. He’s pretty much set till 2010 for clothes *L* Gotta love 50% off clearance sales at the Children’s Place.
the year sure has gone by fast. Christmas is just around the corner. blech. This is the official start of NaBloPoMo. Lets see how the next 30 days go!
Was out late, went to bed even later. Lucien was up around 3 sick from coughing. Poor kiddo’s had a nasty phlegmy cough for a while now.. 3am seems to be his magic hour for waking up coughing. yeehaw. Kev was up with him too god knows when, and they just woke up. I got up only to let the dog out and of course I’m up for good since having to go out in the zomgcold! It’s a crisp 3C (37F) and going up to a balmy 5C (41F). brr.

chili… and lots of it!
Making a pot of chili today, was going to do it over the weekend but found myself without the ability to move. I noticed it somewhat Saturday afternoon that my right hip and leg were REALLY achey. I chalked it up to sitting for so long(was participating in an all day scrapbooking event) as well as the incredibly wet weather we were having. I woke up Sunday stiff but nothing more than normal, while washing dishes I started to feel more and more sore, like gravity was doing overtime on my spine – by 11 I was near in tears. This happens every month or so, where my back gets tweaky, hurts a lot, I gimp around, then I’m ok for the next while. This time however was much much worse, there were moments Sunday that were way worse than labour. Got to the dr. yesterday afternoon after spending 2 days in excruciating pain on the couch and chair with the heating pad. Got my legs twisted in all sorts of horrid positions, did a walk test, and was told that the pain was not in my hips (which I thought it was due to the fact my back feels fine), but is a disc problem. Now, the million dollar question is: Is it a bulging disc? or a herniated disc?
Day 3, I have more mobility due to pain relievers but I’m hurting pretty bad still. It’s still a deep cutting pain but more focused on the areas that hurt. While I was more comfortable last night when sleeping, I didn’t sleep well, upon investigation it looks like there is a small percentage that the drug I’m taking for anti-inflammation can cause sleep disturbance. I was up every hour almost to the exact minute. I have to check in with my GP in a week to see how I’m doing and get on the list to get a CT or MRI done. For all that I’ve heard, the waiting list for those things is miles long, so it’ll be a while. Hopefully I can get some xrays or something in the mean time to get at least a general assessment of what is going on in the old spine.

No mercy. All the clothes that are too worn, don’t fit (either too big, or in no way near being able to be worn) will be bagged up either in a donation bag or garbage bag. Papers sorted and thrown out, knickknack clutter sorted and disposed of if necessary.
The Challenge:
Guest Bedroom
It’s still pretty messy and there is a lot to still be found a new home, but overall I made a huge dent in decluttering.
I cleared out 6 boxes of random stuff, junk, garbage, paper, photos and other crap. Everythings either been mostly put away, thrown out, or put in the garage sale pile. All of the scrapbooking stuff is ON the scraptable now and for the most part sorted (I sorted things as I found them, but haven’t done a full sort everything nice and neat yet). I still have one small box of papers that has to be sorted into my filing box and a small box of “random things” that need a home.
Still left to do in the room
One room at a time right?
