    June Purge

    Small wreath that Amazon didn't want back when they issued me a refund. Husband suggested using it somewhere else than where I intended to but it looks so cheap and plastic-y that I'd rather just declutter it instead.

    See the "Rant" thread for my latest purge. Contents of my shed that no longer have any use for me--a lot of random things like a ton of plastic nursery pots, an electronic rat trap, old plastic tablecloths..I could go on and on. Three contractor bags full. My shed interior looks awesome! Everything in its place.

    Went through my recipe binder and got rid of a few that I no longer make. Also got rid of all but the current and previous month's dinner menu. Just need those two to alternate planned meals. Don't care what was served in past months.

    Got rid of a $145 monthly bill. Canceled our landline phone and internet. I had no idea we were still paying for internet with Verizon because we have had internet services with Xfinity for years!!

    Also got rid of 4 cordless phones from bedroom, rec room, living room, and kitchen.

    Yes, wow! About $50 for phone line and $50 for internet. Rest was fees and taxes.

    Today's item is a forehead thermometer. Bought during Covid and never used and will never use.

    That's great, Klunick.

    Town wide yard sale was rained out yesterday, but the rain held off so far for today. Got up and out early, but not a lot of foot traffic. Got rid of some small things, have three items out on the "magic sidewalk", and put a bunch of the more usable stuff in the donation box.

    So, sort of a declutter of items in a round about way. LOL

    I am going to try a magic driveway. We are rural, but on a "main" route, so I think if I put the bike out and some other things they may get enjoyed by someone.

    I miss our Magic Alley in the city. It gave to us, it took away that which we did not want.

    In the hospital again. Basically a UTI on my Nephrostomy side. Surgery delayed, so tired (woke up early prodded every 20 minutes, no more sleep), thirsty, hangery, Ostomy exploded, was dealing with that when I got the call about the coowner that kept putting his foot in progress forward of the business after being out of it for 15 months (and thinking it had been three years). He passed, and then spent the next long bit doing contacts.
    So my purge, dealing with my estate, and the cluster that was his brothers, has turned into my sibling, finally getting legal with his F-i-l's estate (last bit never done was subdivision of property they are living on), and then when M-i-l passed, she provided so many years of taxes for a lake front property for the family to figure out who wanted it or not, that one case has been filed and on the last date of the F-i-l one, b-i-l hired a last minute attorney to ask for a dismissal, without cause (delay tactic, doesn't want to deal with reality, expects to be just given stuff that doesn't belong to them).
    That B-i-l, will soon be receiving another lawsuit as his kids wanted to buy the lake property, the two siblings wanted to sell out, which leaves him and his kid as owners, and he has been trying to block all of that expecting siblings to walk away and just give it to them.

    Then theirs my other sibling family drama. In laws family "took care of", embezzalled a lot of their estate money, last year to protect the last of the nest egg, access was limited. Not going further, just everybody is all dealing with get your shit together, and you better be happy about it.

    The idiot, coowner, had treated his nest egg like water, asked me to remortgage my house for $80k more, sell my old house and just give him that cash, so he could leave it to his girlfriend, and if I am lucky, I get the 30K life insurance he left me as a beneficiary of.

    Greed, stupidity, and laziness, and some still wonder why I want to get my estate handled so quick.

    Well, maybe they will come get me for surgery soon, I am Hangery................
