House In Order, day 15

[cjsmith]

1. Finished car voltmeter - one Ancient Unfinished Project off the list! This declutters my office AND the list of things I nag myself about.

2. Some progress toward getting rid of my old spam-choked e-mail address. Moved one mailing list, requested a change on one web site, and some time in the past couple days I schlepped the mail forwarder over to my work temporarily to see who hasn't got the change yet. (Still to do: at least two web sites, four mailing lists, my family.)

3. Drank a small bottle of sake. This counts as decluttering.

• I am not a sake drinker.
• It was a heartfelt gift and was "lucky", blessed in some way, which was why the giver insisted we have it.
• Its little porcelain jar was cracked and verrrry slowly leaking, to the point that it had glued itself to the kitchen counter.

Done! One more piece of "visual nagging" out of the way. (ambar, I love the phrase "visual nagging".)

4. Dragged out some very Ancient Unfinished Projects of the sewing variety. I'd been hoping to pitch a bunch of these tonight, but what I managed to do was get them out of hiding and put them together in one pile. I didn't have the heart to pitch them. Maybe if I hadn't had the sake first.

"Visual nagging" - that's perfect! I'm so impressed about your decluttering. :-)

I read that as, "Drank a small bottle of salt". Yowza.

Isn't that a great turn of phrase? I don't know whether ambar made it up or not, but she's where I got it. It's so descriptive.

Ugh, a small bottle of salt! :-P
