Day one of this wonderful Apartment Therapy I'm at the emergency room with Dr's taking Xray's of my right arm. They have found a mass. I have pain. but not serious. Just can't use my rt. arm. It's moved up into a nerve. Now I have no movement in rt. arm and PAIN! So all my decluttering plans are on hold until this gets dealt with.

Sadly I did have to rehome my beloved bunny Luna. I couldn't care for her.

I have managed to do the task of collecting paper clutter. I put it all in a (shoe) box that you put together from Ikea. All of my reciepts I need for taxes go in one box. Dr. visits for this year detailing what was done and by which Dr. Meds, etc. in another. My union and banking in a third. The last one has stamps envelopes, cards, birthday etc. to be sent.

I bought 120 of these green shoe box size put-together-boxes. They have been a life line to my decluttering. I like conformity, and I mark each one in markers, in bold script the contents. I white it out if they change. They contain the majority of my everyday craft/art supplies. stack great for storage, and for season changes. Nice for the fact they are never too heavy…except right now.

    Oh no, I'm so sorry you're dealing with this! Health comes first, so take care of yourself. You already accomplished a lot in the organizing/decluttering buckets though. I hope everything turns out okay over there. Keep us posted 💛

    That sounds really good. Have to go to IKEA. Storage is a problem for me.
