This and that

 Friday it looked like we were in for some snow accumulation but it never amounted to much. Sunday it
snowed off and on throughout the day. It was after I got home from work on Sunday that it really started. I was able to appreciate how pretty it really was since I was in for the night.



I decided on cut up lottery tickets for that bottle I gave new boss. I grabbed some out of the garbage and started cutting. I didn't fill it completely because I got tired of cutting. I told one of the other employees to tell new boss I needed to talk to him when he got there. He came over and I handed him a bag and told him I made him something. He pulled the bottle out and had that "what's this for" look on his face. I told him to turn it over and that's when he saw the 800 number. Then I told him it had cut up losing lottery tickets in it. He thought it was pretty funny and he said he would finish filling it up with his losers.


Yesterday it was nice being able to stay home. It was cold out there and the snow was still falling occasionally. I got a nice leisurely start to the day and carried that theme out for the rest of the day.


I did manage to do a little bit more decluttering though. I have now filled a total of 5 garbage bags. I'm feeling pretty good about that. I'll admit that I probably could get rid of a whole lot more than what I have but I've done well at not hanging on to everything. I'm confident that I will have this room will be finished before the end of the month. That seems like a long time to clean out one room but at least it's getting done.

You are doing really well. If I worked full time, I would not be able to do anything else! The snow is so pretty.

And that's why people start decluttering and then get overwhelmed and give up - they think they have to do it all in one fell swoop...Baby steps - the thing is don't stop baby-stepping LOL

Glad to know he found it fun/ funny.
Snow is only pretty from indoors looking out.

Pam said...

I had to go back and read yesterdays post to see what was going on with the jar/bottle. That is cute.

Sandee said...

I knew the boss would like that bottle. Well done.

Keep up the great work on decluttering. You'll love the look when you're done.

Have a fabulous day and week, Ann. Big hug to you and lots of scritches to Gibbs. ♥

Wow, the snow looks beautiful. I'm glad your boss enjoyed his gift. Good for you working on decluttering again.

Lin said...

Five bags??! WOW! Good for you! Gosh...I need to get to that fabric collection one of these days....

The snow is pretty. I hope it doesn't get too deep or too icy to get around. That's the part that I don't like.

Rose said...

Slow but sure...that is the way to get things done...specially something like that room. (I am picturing it like my sewing area...LOL)

we are supposed to get snow tonight and tomorrow. I am glad I don't have to get out in it. I did not used to mind, but I sure am thankful now. Since I fell in 2018, I really try to avoid places I can have accidents. I tell Roger we cannot afford for me to get down with another accident.

Those are pretty photos and good to know you don’t have to go out in it today. Sounds like your cute idea with the lottery tickets was well received. He must have really appreciated the thoughtful gift. Well done on the decluttering. Doesn’t matter how fast you go as long as you keep going. That’s what I tell myself anyhow :)
