PROJECT DISTRIBUTE--2026--STUFF MASTER

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 10,2010..YEAR 1..WEEK 25--BLOG 21..DAY 179 OF 5840


SEVEN WEEKS SINCE I LAST BLOGGED.. September 20.........

Reason: Fully occupied 4-5-6 hours a day quilting--creating inventory of wall hangings and puppy/kitty quilts for a local Community Center Christmas Craft Fair...November 6th.

Now "recovering" from that interesting and instructive experience...and will again focus on this project: getting rid of STUFF.....

..and beginning today: My county library is willing to accept my New Yorker Magazines--so 4 copies will be given/distributed..to a worthy/useful cause..

This will be a continuing challenge....and at the moment I do not have any idea how this will work itself through in the next few months....it will be interesting to see..

o.k. Ever Onward!!

Monday,September 20,2010--Year 1--Week18..Blog 20...Day 120 of 5840

Unblievable--- amost FOUR weeks since the last blog.....

I have NOT been distributing "stuff"..geting-rid-of 'stuff......

yes!!! life HAS been happening again..taking time-energy and focus ....and..

my major focus has been on completing an inventory of quilts to sell at the November 5th Christmas Crafts Fair at my local Community Center...

..and I HAVE progressed and have achieved and am achieving at that..

However...on Friday..September 17. I did mail off to Japan..my last two professional journals.

I am very please with that--because they had been "lingering' in my blue office for months...

What I am discovering-acknowledging.. is that getting-rid-of "stuff" is WORK..needing focused attention...

...so o.k. who knows WHEN my next distribute will be accomplished...probably NOT until after November 5.

So be it!!!

Ever onward...Stuff Master

Wednesday, August 25,2010...Year 1..Week 14...Blog 19...Day 94 of 5840


FRUSTRATION!!!!....

I WAS DETERMINED TO UP-DATE THIS BLOG AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK...

if only to maintain the discipline and record of this project.....

Well..now 11 days since last blog--August 14.....

I still have 7 more catagories of stuff to get-out-the-house IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE THE CHALLENGE GOAL OF 50....and..."FIND MY LIFE"

Well...the 11 days WERE productive in completing quilts; adding to "inventory" for the first time selling of quilts at a Christmas Crafts Fair.

And....I KNOW I was NOT idle....however-- no sure accounting of how I did use my time productively..if that were even a tiny bit interesting.

So..no promises....I"ll aim for the best.

Tuesday August 10, 2010...Year 1...Week 12...Blog 17... Day 79 of 5840


WOW!!!! finally...I did manage to get-rid-of..extraneous stuff today...

I had been making an accounting of a challenge to get-rid-of 50 catagories of stuff...

and "find-my-life"..I think I was somewhere in mid 40's......

so getting there......I will check to be sure...

Items..out-of-house: Formal stationary..and forms for the County Grand Jury....California has by Consitution a CIVIL Grand Jury system...each Jury impanneled for one year...

I served three years: 2001-02..2002-03 and 2005-06....which means this 'stuff' was on my office shelf for at least 4 years...

Good!!! Goood!!! Progress!!!!!

I am smiling.

Friday, August 6,2010...Year 1..Week 11--Blog 16...Day 75 of 5840

Unbbelievable!! almost TWO weeks since last blog....

I had hoped to do better than that...

however..two things: LIFE HAPPENS...and the focus of my attention has been on quilting...

So..follow that adventure on: quilt-stashproject-2020.blogspot.com

I do have thoughts on how to possibly get-rid-of maybe 1000 perfectly good drink straws....

and I will make phone calls when I get home..to see if that is possible.

...and also hope that somehow..Project Distribute--2026 CAN progress..inich-by-inch if necessary..while the Quilt/Stash Project-2020 takes presidence..for next 3 months..

Ever onward??? YES!!!!
