our friend who made the Christmas miniatures box passed away NYE. :( i'm glad we were able to go visit her when we did. RIP dear friend.

it's going ok so far. i even have some empty spaces in the bookshelves. now that i also got rid of the worm buckets i've opened up some floor space again that was taken up for 15 years.

thank you! newp, nothing new here, continue my decluttering as i can get to it and not add any more stuff unless i absolutely have to. and by stuff i also mean chores! i don't want any more of those either. :)

getting there! :) you too and all your critters and family.

shovelled floofy snow this morning, it wasn't too bad and was glad for the fresh air and little bit of exercise. it wasn't supposed to snow today as much as it did and it's cold enough out there that it will be blowing around tonight. tomorrow morning i'll have to get out and do it again - but...
