2. We're having homemade pizza for dinner tonight! (yes it's gluten free)

3. I had clean clothes to choose from this morning - and I didn't do laundry this week :-)

1. Snowstorm today again, with one plus from that: there was a holistic meeting I wanted to attend, but would have missed...now it's been postponed, so may be able to get there after all!
2. Good chat with mutual support friend John this afternoon.
3. Rec'd a nice friendly and informative response from Max re a question I had here on TVCH re transcripiton!

1. i finally got the vet my pet deserved three weeks ago. hoping for a good outcome, but kendall may be really sick...the vet spent a full hour with us, sat on the floor at kendall's level and told me everything about what may be happening with the little guy. definitely worth the money and the drive out of town to get a caring professional.

2. i started the tvch decluttering project and got rid of about 5 pounds of unneeded papers; old paid bills and bank statements and other things were shredded and i really got a handle on the office shelves. it's stuff we no longer needed, plus it will look better for the open house on saturday.

3. i didn't get any bills in the mail!

i was pretty sure saying i had stepped in dog crap, my puppy vomited his very expensive med half an hour after i got it down him, and getting a collect call from a prisoner don't count as positive things :-)

lol here's to no bills in the mail/email!

1. Woke up early this morning, so I got a little time to talk with DH.

2. DH made and packed lunch for both of us :-)

3. It's a day off so I get to work somewhat sane hours today - 7am-3pm :-)

Tabbyking, Hurrah for no bills in the mail; nothing to ADD to your clutter at least! And hurrah for finding a caring knowledgeable vet...priceless, I know too well, and have traveled far myself to find a valuable 2nd opinion (or third even!)

My first positive for friday march 3:
After our snowstorm of yesterday, the sun is shining brighly today!!!

1. my dog's distemper test came back as 90% negative for the actual virus. his low number indicated he is most likely only registering the vaccination!

2. he went 8 hours through the night without coughing and today i can add his cough suppressant which will probably help his irritated little throat.

3. my tennies came out good as new. all the dog doo came off :-)

2. I was able to write to that friend and reminisse about something funny concerning dog poop.

Hurrah for rain in Kenya! I will pray for more.
My friend is going to Ghana in April; I wonder if they are having the same problem there?

sat march 4, 2006
1. I successfully arranged for a repairman to fix Dad's stove.
2. The snow is melting rapidly.
3. I accidentally caught an afternoon TV showing of Fiddler on the Roof. Haven't seen that musical in ages, either on stage or on screen, so was good to see parts of it, in between work I was getting done!
Additionally:
4. Good long talk with Michael on phone, first chance to catch up in a week.
5. In spite of her car being towed, Sara made it here for an hour to give me a hand.

1. For once, I don't have to go to my Dad's today. Going next Tuesday should make the visit much more rewarding.
2. Sara picked up my meds for me!
3. Dug into work I have been procrastinating on; feels good to get to the "other side"!

monday march 6, 2006

1. I got my haircut, which always feels great! And even though I had a 1/2 hour wait, I filled the time by going next door and getting a hot sandwich, and when I walked back in to hair salon, was taken within 2 minutes!

2. I finally got a date for tree removal, and even though I am dreading it, it is better to HAVE the date than not. (It's like having a tooth pulled, much better to get it over with!)

3. I successfully dropped off a load of sentimental donations, including darling 9 inch golden-haired doll from 1950's and Audubon prints, both of which Mary and Emily (thrift shop directors) "oo-ed" and "aw-ed" over.

Wow, Grace, congrats on new job!!!

tuesday march 7:
1. I am amazed that on a day when everything seemed to "go wrong", I turned it around and got all my goals accomplished! GE repairman cancelled at last minute for stove repair, but at suggestion of friend Verna who said "try an electrician instead of appliance repair", I got the job done by my intended finish time of 5 PM--and even got a lesson in how to dismantle the stove hood so I can change the light bulb next time myself! (And possibly an electrician to use in the future; I liked Ed a lot; arrived when he said, was both friendly and knowledgeable!)

2. My assistant Wendy looked like she could only give me an hour because of unexpected dentist appt, but the dentist was over quickly, and she came back and we dug into cataloging books with a vengeance! I am happy to say that my two old biology text books and college notes of my mom's from a medieval christianity course are all in the trash!

3. More people posted action goals on my Yahoo group!

And it's a delight to me to see others posting here! I get recharged by seeing all the positives!

wednesdaay march 8:
1. Actually Project Runway delighted me tonight;
glad that Chloe won and that Daniel got Michael Kors offer!
2. Earlier today very stressful: lesson learned again--never trust government, even town government, even public works branch!! How can they lie so to get what they want? I mentioned yesterday that one of my positives was that I finally had a date for tree removal (by town, of old tree that I have loved for long time)? Well, in spite of their promise to let me know the date in advance, so me and my cat could vacate premises (noise shakes the whole house and they start at 7 am and go all day)---in spite of the promise, they jumped the gun and started today. I was away from the house when I heard, the guy refused to stop in spite of his promise, and I had to go in in the middle of the mess to "rescue" my cat, who had buried herself in the far corner of a closet. I am absolutely FURIOUS for his double-talk and lack of understanding, but the positive thing is that right now my cat is completely relaxed by my side in our temporary lodgings.
3. I tried phoning Sara for help in getting out of my house. She got to me too late to be of help (actually came just after I left), but I did get a refresher lesson in how to make a long distance call via calling card from a pay phone. I must keep that information handy.

4. Oh, yes, at a least it was warm and sunny bright today, making driving easy (90 minute trip at high speeds to rescue my cat and get her out of there).

To a better day tomorrow...

thursday march 9, 2006
1. Got my eye exam done easily, and except for a new pair of reading glasses on order, everything seems to be A-okay! (And I really like my eye doc, she is very "user-friendly", so even a very detailed exam goes very quickly. we talked about her black labradors, amongst other things.)
2. My cat Maggie is adjusting super-well to her temporary new surroundings!

???? Now just waiting word on that tree progress...hopefully that will be my third positive...should hear around 7 PM!

5{ for yesterday 3/10 as it is on 7 am and not alot has gone on yet today.
1. I went to my first PWP meeting. My 13 yr old had a hard time letting mom go but, hey, she is going to High school next year. (that's parents without partners)
2. I bought the new Grammy 2006 CD and rocked out (and I must say my daughter and I even danced a little.
3. I decided to buy (this may sound weird) my friend who passed away thursday her son a guitar. He's a recovering addict and I felt music just might help him through this tragic event.
4. It was freezing cold in the Bay Area yesterday (Not normal) we had hail that looked like snow.

Catching up...Friday March 10, 2006

1. "Frantic Friday", but good news!!! It took them three days, but as of noon today, the town FINISHED taking down the beautiful 1920's silver maple(RIP), including the stump of the tree (I was worried the stump would hang on forever). So, their heavy equipment and intense house-rattling noise is gone, and I can pick up and plant a garden where the tree previously was.

2. Assistant Sara was on deck to help me find some large stone pieces at hardware store for first step on garden. She did the driving, which was really nice of her!

Saturday March 11, 2006

1. Went garden shop-shopping today, a wonderful thing to do on a day that speaks of "spring is in the air." First garden shop, the man who designs/builds ponds helped me find some really neat slate pieces (much better than yesterday's): 75 lbs. of stone, 25 cents per pound, I think I got 6 pieces total. It was neat the way he weighed in the stone on a scale, much like you would weigh in produce at the grocery store!

2. Second garden shop: perfect timing--they were unloading a whole truckload of pansies!!! I got my pick as they brought them off the truck and set them up. In the meantime, the little "resident" terrier dog Jim was trying (unsuccessfully, thank goodness!) to round up some chipmunks. Such spunk for a 14 and 1/2 yr. old dog with a heart condition. All the garden shop personnel was very helpful, Heather especially with her info re pansies can withstand 28 degree cold! I also got a small garden flag (butterfly&flower design) and a flat stone saying "Mom's Garden".

3. Nice chat with downstairs neighbor Dawn, who caught me up with all the news and showed me her wind chime collection, including a couple neat hummingbird ones.

sunday March 12, 2006
1. Finally got caught up with Michael in person and we took a nice long walk through a spacious cemetary near my house in West Hartford. Very peaceful. Also visited a beautiful stone church where Michael may be installing an organ. Also very beautiful and peaceful.

2. Michael helped me plant a new "memorial" garden in place of the ancient tree which was taken down. Complete with stonework and beautiful little butterfly flag--and some artificial flowers until time for the real ones (I have pansies ready to go!)

3. Enjoyed new episode of West Wing and then relaxed with Dancing with the Stars finale tapes.

monday march 13, 2006(I know, I'm a day behind!):

1. Took photographs of my new memorial garden before leaving West Hartford.

2. After visiting the West Hartford cemetary for a walk yesterday, decided to explore cemetaries here in Ashford for walk and exploration and meditation. Visited the local library and town offices for the first time; got a map of the town and a Joshua's Trust trail guide and ended up exploring "Byles" historic trail instead of cemetary for my walk. Some of the trail maps show active beaver dams along the route.

3. Weather really great for walking today; spring is in the air, and the early rain showers cleared out!

4. In addition, went to local pizza place for hot eggplant grinder to cap off my walk!

tuesday march 14, 2006
1. Julie called with news of my Aunt Jan, my precious late mother's only sister.
2. Dad and I successfully completed transaction at the bank.
3. I FINALLY brought one box of my precious shadow puppet designs to my "sorting station" to catalog and photograph in preparation for donation to museum.

Wednesday, march 15, 2006
1. In spite of knee recuperation, did manage short 20-minute walk on flat trail in the woods; saw two white tail deer! (in addition to the resident bunny, burro, and horses at the adjacent farm.) Walk was in the midst of a short snow squall, but I bundled up warmly!

2. Finally caught up with my niece Alice by phone; set up a future inperson get together!

3. Got laundry done while watching PBS John Denver special.

Looks like you could use a little company over here, Clutter! I haven't posted in this thread for a while but know I should. Today, I am a little bit sad but I know I can find some positives going on in my life.

1. I had a great conversation with Costa last night. She is such a neat person and great to talk to!
2. I kinda did a "pay it forward" thingy. Costa found the odd size container I needed and sent it all the way from Ca. Now, my sweet friend, Kearie, is making cards and is in need of some help. So, I am mailing her three cd's I have which will make it easier on her to make her beautiful cards.
3. One of my best friends for the past twenty years and I are planning on having a long conversation tonight to do some catching up.
4. Yesterday was my ex-boyfriend's birthday and for whatever reason, he has been calling here for the past few days and hanging up on me. Well, I was finally able to get the courage to tell him to get out of my life and stay out for good. That felt really good and empowering..like I am finally taking my life back!
5. The Man upstairs has blessed me with wonderful people and a sweet, little Baby in my life!

HI, Baby! Good to see you here with your positives, and yes I find it important to "dig" for the good stuff even on the down days!

Congrats on "taking your life back"!!! More power to you, and for recognizing the blessings in your life. You are a blessing to me today, and one of MY positives!~Beth aka Clutterfree

PS And yes Costa is a great person; helped me in setting up my Yahoo group!
