Clutterbug Challenge Days 5- 9

  Continuing in the challenge has been fun. I did add in my windows. I've needed to get on those for a few months but hadn't found the get to it bug until this month. probably because the weather is starting to get a little cooler.   A few pictures I took during the window cleaning - My process is to take all the slats out of the blinds and wipe them all down individually then take the mechanism out and clean it, clean the window and then put the mechanism back in and re insert the slats. - It's a huge process so it took me about 6 days. Picture of the cleaned pantry area I showed in the last post: After clearing out a few that I don't use and putting the ones I occasionally use up higher I added in the labels and got it all organized.

Bit of a back story- (It's kind of long, sorry)   As I started August, I was going off a medicine to help my ADHD - (Honestly, I always thought I didn't have the Hyperactive part but apparently my over thinking and trying to process all the thoughts is a form of the Hyperactive part) Ok back to the story. So, After I was off the med we started a new medicine and that it went downhill. It is a stronger med, so we have to do BP checks. (we had a BP machine for Jason we got during covid) the numbers were very high, so after

Special Book for Eli - Part 1
