    That's a good To Do List! You've a nice mixture of fairly easy to do tasks and some that will take more time. I think you will do very well with your list, this month.

    I'm curious about the 100 things to throw list. I did a search and found that there seems to be several of them. I clicked on one and found myself mentally arguing with the listmaker on the very first item on the list! Ha, ha!

    The list I am using for consideration is from ACultivatedNest.com Some of it is quite obvious. Some of it I will not consider. Some of it makes me think and gives me pause. But it is a starting point for purging. These items are not really for "tossing", as in trash. They will be recycled, donated, or repurposed.

    I was able to gather over 300 sheets of paper from various files this afternoon, for my shredder. Other sheets have been put in page protectors and placed in the appropriate binder to keep a while longer. That is a staggering amount of paper, but I will use some in my composter and some on the flower beds as mulch to be broken down into the soil.
