Sat - Weds.

Saturday: I did laundry on Saturday after mailing my bills.

Sunday: Recycled an envelope and did the dishes.

Monday: Recycled two envelopes and a newspaper. I also took out the garbage, cleaned a cabinet and drawer, and did some handwash.

Tuesday: I recycled a newspaper. Also did dishes.

Wednesday: I took two pairs of too-small tights to the lobby, and shredded 34 papers at work.

Finally, on one of these days, I recycled four newspapers.

Results: I had a great night with my guy Monday, and spent Tuesday in a flow of synchronicity that I couldn't believe. I got groceries before work, to get on this new diet in earnest. I asked about some products I'll need for that, and they suggested a health food store in the opposite direction from where I was going. So as I was heading to work, I passed a brand-new health food store, and went in to check if maybe they had what I needed. They didn't, but one of the employees had done the same diet! She told me it was amazing, and gave me the card of a woman who is a consultant on it, who she thought could tell me where to find the stuff!

Later Tuesday, I got a call I was waiting for that somehow came through while I was on the phone to someone else! I had ignored it when it came in, but the first call got dropped! Anyway, this call cleared up a mystery letter I received on Friday, as well as answering the question I'd been waiting to hear about. So that was awesome.

I have found significant change this week - 7 cents Monday, 26 cents Tuesday, and 8 cents today. Pretty fun.

Finally, I had the weirdest feeling I was going to be let go from one of my jobs this week, but the day came and went and it was a really good workday instead! And the work keeps coming in elsewhere as well, so I'm doing well.

All in all, things are going really well. I'm working on staying OK with the moment as it is, and it seems to really help the way I work and the flow of things. Even when things don't go as planned it seems to be for the best in the end. Yay!

Weds - Fri

Wednesday: I don't think I decluttered anything today. I did the dishes though. Keeping up with my goal! And I changed my paycheck withholdings so I'd have some taxes coming out this year - last year I worked so few hours that I think maybe two dollars was taken out in total.

Thursday: I shredded 20 pages of paper at work.

Friday: I paid bills and recycled eight envelopes along with inserts, and one cardboard backing from a book of checks. Also did dishes, cleaned the catbox, etc.

Results: I got paid a few times this week :) And it was good to pay so many bills. That reminds me, I have to take those to the mailbox or post office. Maybe I'll do laundry and combine tasks. Guess it's time to start!

Sunday - Tuesday

Saturday additional: I recycled some light bulb packaging.

Sunday: I recycled 12 newspapers and a flour bag. Also continued deep-cleaning the kitchen, doing the insides of the food and dish cabinets. Pretty foul stuff - I had no idea they were so filthy. The roaches really love my kitchen. And I have a sonar thing that keeps them mostly gone. Can't imagine how many there would be without that thing. That's the joy of the big city - either exterminate (I can't deal with the smell of poison) or deal with roaches. Yuck! I'm going to start cleaning them regularly, on a rotating basis, so they never get that gross again.

Monday: Recycled two prospectuses (basically 100-page booklets) and a piece of junk mail that I'd had in a file for years. Who knows why. I did more of the kitchen, this time deep-cleaning the drawers where I keep utensils and stuff. Again, pretty gross but this time on the outside and in the empty drawers below. I'll be rotating the cleaning of these as well so they don't get out of control again and so I can actually use them for a change - three were empty cuz I couldn't keep the roaches out. I think if I clean one every week, though, they should be OK.

Tuesday: I took a Red Lobster "Typhoon" glass down to the lobby. Also returned a library book.

Results: I had a nice afternoon with my guy yesterday, and today my work got canceled so I hung out with him again for awhile. Did some work at home this afternoon and am now chilling out.

I'm trying more and more of the changes to my diet. It's going to take awhile, but so far I'm liking it.
