Yay me.

The culling of stuff and books Thought is rising in my brain again.  Especially in the volcano books collection.   Gathering dust, unread, they need a good home.  And I need to continue to declutter.  One is a coffee table book about volcanoes, an easy read and will go to a wonderful charity centered thrift shop, and the other book is an antique and will also go there.  I am feeling the desire to cut down on my possessions.  Maybe the impending death of my dear friend is making me rethink my priorities and be more inclined to let stuff go.

I've slowly been doing the same. I downloaded a few books on de-cluttering on a whim...most were just pure boredom between two covers...a couple though took hold....one was actually a very enjoyable read.

I've seen a few books about decluttering in the book store.  I also think my age, 64, has a lot to do with it, multiple moves in a few years also factors into that.  And we'll be moving again someday, it's time.

Marie Kondo's are pretty good...I'm never going to spend time folding everything up like she does though.

The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning was my favorite...by Margareta Magnusson...she's 83. You can pull her up on Youtube with her house full of plants.  :laugh:

It's a platitude. One life beginning and another ending does not close a circle. Sorry.

You choose to see it as a platitude, but I was not using it as a platitude. No sense in arguing over it though.

No, you're right. We could duel at noon instead. :P

Bloody hell, I'd be screwed. I have terrible aim. :laugh:

  I volunteer as tribute!  I still have my paper target from 2010 with one hole through the face,
  and a bunch right through the center of the chest area.  It'll be fun!  :tooledup:

Done. I'll take you up on that offer  :viking: :hide:

  Odeon can have a tribute too!  Lit would be good, if he hasn't blown himself up.  :laugh:

Okay, I'll be odeon's tribute.  You wouldn't shoot a little old queen, would you?

Today is my sister's birthday.  Tomorrow is PA's sister's birthday.  Kinda weirdish.

So, enough about where I was shopping this afternoon:

Thinking about another trip to Texas.

Found out a bit ago that my mom had a heart attack this afternoon. She is alive, and being given care.
I am troubled.

If you do not see me for a few days, it might be to do with this latest news.

Take care DD. Your mum is getting blow after blow. That is reason to be troubled.

Wishing you a good trip. And time with her as good as possible. Hope for a good recovery for her.

Tight hug if you want one.

Latest news is that she is resting after another "procedure" but nothing definitive. She is one seriously tough human being with lots to live for, but this shit can get bigger than any of us.

So far, still treading these scary waters.

I am thankful for everyone's positive thoughts.
