UBC October 2024 - Domestic Goddess for a Day

Welcome back to October's UBC.

Today I want to share some of my achievements - apart from decluttering the basement with the help of a professional - over the past weeks, and especially yesterday:

I took our comforters and pillows to the dry cleaners and of course washed and changed the bedding.

I put the entire family on the waiting list at a new group practice, got a confirmation, transferred our patient files and made a first appointment. It doesn't sound like a lot of effort - but it was. Maybe I'll write about it sometime. 

I've booked my car in for a major service and a wheel change.

I completely cleared out Colin's and my closet, sorted out clothes, tried on over a dozen jeans, made some of the clothes available for donation, threw some away and put the rest away again.

The pile of Christmas pjiamas is to become a special project. I took them to the post office on foot for this purpose. More on this later.

Now I'm proud - and exhausted. But wait, I still have to make dinner...

PS: Colin agreed with the things that were allowed to leave the house. That was on Monday. Today is Wednesday. He says “a friend is having a closet swap party this weekend, can I take some stuff back out of the bags?”

Ahem, I was going to take them to the friend who belongs to a charity organization in the afternoon.... But OK, who am I to turn away a sustainable thought.
