I was out of commission much of Tuesday and all day Wednesday, and am feeling mostly better minus an annoying cough. Because I fell behind with my freelance work, I haven’t had a chance to keep up with my three-a-day donation/toss plan. Officially, I’m 18 items behind, but today as I tried to catch up on straightening the house I tossed a few things into a box. In general, the house suffered during my cold, and I could tell it was happening but didn’t feel well enough to care. That’s what Sunday is for.
But I did do my Friday routine, and thought of one other thing to add to it, which I’ve now forgotten.

Since I switched purses and wallets and reorganized today, maybe it had something to do with that, but I don’t think so. I thought I had more small cosmetic bags, but when I looked I could only find one, so I guess I gave the rest of them away. One was enough so I don’t really miss them. I had EIGHT pens, then just realized that when I reorganized, that I have none.

A weekly straightening of my desk is one of my Friday routine items. This was my desk this afternoon:

And now:

Finally, I dusted. I didn’t do a perfect job, but because I have catch-up cleaning to do, I’m not too bothered. There was also less dust than I’d anticipated.

I need a new small-ish bin for daily recycling of junk mail and school papers. I was reusing a box from a prior warehouse store run, because it was the ideal size even if it wasn’t Pinterest-worthy. But because it’s cardboard, Pixie decided to try eating it, pulled out bunches of paper, and made it her bed.

Remind me again why we bought her a bed.

And that’s all I have for my catch-up Friday.
