The anti-vax group met in a different location with parking tonight so I decided to check out their meeting. They are more focused on other things now like school curriculum rather than covid mandates, so it's not really my area of interest.
I don't feel like I'm progressing very rapidly on this list, but classes at The Clay School are partly responsible, and that's OK with me.
Update:
Declutter Mom's second floor - in progress
Wash windows, screens, & curtains - washed 6 windows and 5 screens this weekend, so I've at least started
Build rolling pantry (small carpentry project)
Clean dryer vent
Start seeds - done, all are either hardening off in the gazebo or in the ground
Small seasonal miscellany: hang hammock, put out hoses, swap storm door panels for screens - done
Repair picture (this is a small task that will take less than 30 mins but I've somehow been putting off for at least 2 years).
Yard cleanup, finish shredding and spreading leaves - in progress
Sell raincoat on eBay
Seasonal closet cleanout - done
Seasonal bedding changeover
Get out & set up fans and air conditioners - done
Divide and repot a few houseplants
Assess trim paint and decide whether to ask crappy house painting company to make good on their warranty and come back for touchups
Have plans to do my May hike next weekend when the weather will be cooler.
Sis and I spent the afternoon cleaning out Mom's linen closet. You might be surprised that this task would take an entire afternoon, but we removed 12 trash bags of stuff for trash, fabric recycling, Saver's donations, humane society donations and a few things we are keeping ourselves. I took away assorted drugs such as Vicodin from the nineties that I dropped off at the medicine disposal bin at the police station.
I don't actually have a linen closet myself, and perhaps it is just as well.
BTW, we left Mom with plenty of linens and health and beauty supplies, but it is SO much easier to see what is there now, much less stuff and much more organized. It was a productive day for this team of sisters!
Wow Rosa that’s a ton of linens. I have 2 sets of sheets for both beds and 12 each of bath towels, washcloths and hand towels.
That's so nice of you and your sister, rosa! Glad things are progressing for your mom.

the story thus far
Pick up anything I want to keep from my parent's house done
Sort through sewing patterns and inventory them done
Clear bed in guest bedroom ongoing
Work on more quilt blocks ongoing
Finish sewing commission done
Put away duvet for the winter done
Put away winter stuff done
Learn how to darn done
3 boxes out of the storage unit 2 of 3
Continue the book cull ongoing
Had to call work tech support and I did some of the pattern inventory while on hold. I went pretty fast once I got started. Managed to get 30% done when they answered the phone. Finished the rest of the inventory as my evening project. I knew I needed to download a podcast or music as background noise to get it done.
Finished darning the last of the socks and they are in the winter storage bin. Gave away lots of books to Memorial day travelers, have a few more pick ups scheduled for tonight.
Still have to go through one more box which I will do in June.
I went in my May hike yesterday and weather permitting will clean the windows next week.
