Saturday: I did not do a thing on Saturday. Except lose a glove at Target after going to the Farmers' Market.
Wait, I did declutter! I took my bag o' textiles to the Farmers' Market for recycling! THEN I did nothing.
Sunday: I've gone through another mag looking for recipes, and have recycled two postcards so far. I made a list last night of must-dos and have done one and a half of the items: Throwing away old food, and half of the dishes (there are a lot!). I feel energetic today so there will be more.

Thursday and Friday
Thursday's Declutter: I recycled a post-it and a postcard. Don't think I did anything else :)
Friday's Declutter: So far, I've recycled six postcards, three envelopes, five receipts, two menus, and 11 papers. I've also thrown away six pieces of credit/ID cards. I went through several old cooking magazines and found some recipes to rip out or copy, and two mags to take to the lobby. Finally, I'm taking two coupons to the lobby as well, when I go out to do laundry and mail a package. Oh, yeah, I paid two bills as well. They're going to the PO with me.
It's later and I did my laundry and took the stuff to the PO. I then recycled a mailer, letter, envelope, and insert from a free calendar I was going to return (it was sent as part of a donation campaign, and I felt bad) but couldn't since I opened it.
Results: I spoke with a friend yesterday who I'd been thinking of incessantly. I used to work for him and he is definitely one of the best bosses ever. It was SO NICE just to say hello - really made my day!
It also feels really good to get things done. :)
Oh, I also called the lawyer who handled my great-aunt's will to find out about advances on the inheritance. He called back to say none could be given till the period to submit a claim was over. I think that ends this month but I called back to verify it. If so, that's good news, cuz I don't think there have been any claims and that means I might be able to get some of the money and pay off some of my debts! That would be wonderful :)
Finally, I found 11 cents while I was out!

Tuesday/Wednesday
Tuesday's Declutter: I shredded 100 papers! Woo! Also took out the garbage.
Oh, I think I recycled a couple of store sale flyers on Sunday or Monday also, and I definitely recycled two newspapers on Sunday.
Wednesday's Declutter: I brought a few things to work to shred, and forgot to shred them! But that might be because while researching recycling programs for old office equipment, I discovered a recycling event that's happening Sunday, where a document shredding company will be offering FREE disposal of documents! So I'm thinking I'll take the remainder of my three reams of paper to that event - along with whatever else I can recycle that they will take. They take a lot of stuff! Maybe I'll use my shopping cart!
Anyway, so on Wednesday I almost recycled a post-it, haha :) I had it ready to recycle and then forgot until this morning. I did do most of the dishes - there's still some baked-on apple pie filling on my cookie sheet that is NOT coming off. The thing has been soaking for days. Eventually I'll get it off, but man!
Results: Yesterday was payday for two jobs. Oh, I also received my rent payment on Monday. And today is the beginning of four days off - just in the nick of time, I've been SO irritable! I'm not going ANYWHERE that requires the subway until Sunday.
