For the first time in a long time (maybe forever) all of the tasks on my reminder list are finished. I’ll start with a clean slate going into February but I don’t expect this phenomenon to last long; I’ll have three more challenges hitting the list tomorrow as well as another batch of cards. It is a nice feeling while it lasts though.

The timing today was almost perfect. I was cleaning the laundry room which is mostly a collection of our recycling. The thrift store was finally open so I was able to take a couple of bags to them; I didn’t want to overwhelm them with all my collections. I had cleared out some cabinets and drawers at some point over the past couple of weeks and I had a bag full of out-dated medications; I dropped them off at the pharmacy for disposal. I was able to take my bag full of Pat’s shredding to the recycle depot and I sorted the various recycling bags from the laundry room into the right bins on the back step.

The only thing I wasn’t able to clear out were our cans and bottles. As of tomorrow we will be able to return our milk containers for a refund; when I sorted our recycling bags I took out all the milk containers and added them to the bag of cans and bottles; I’ll drop that bag off on my next trip out. I had quite a few things to take to the post office and I took care of that while I was out.

I’ve been working my way through Mum’s fabrics again today. I am still dozen’s short of the pieces I need for the quilt I’m making but the bin is still more than half full.

Pat has an online event tonight and I hope to get a bit more of my Peppermint Purple border done.
