    Meeting up with friends after work on Friday. I'm calling it. Not spending time decluttering on this last day of the EcoChallenge. Bet I will on Saturday though.

    So Thursday was the second attempt at getting the old mattress and box spring out of my house. But the person said her friend with a truck was flaking on her again, which means she flaked on me and I got irritated by flaky people. So I jammed out a bunch of responses to my craigslist post (they had been piling up in my inbox) and said first come first serve. So someone was able to come pick it up Thursday night! I can use my sitting room again, yay!

    Wednesday was the day the craigslist person was supposed to pick up my old mattress and box spring. Person said her friend with truck wasn't available until Thursday. Was a bummer but got some extra time to clean the house.

    Continued to declutter and donate.  I am now even leaner. Emptied my storage unit which will save $90 per month!

    I have enjoyed being a vegetarian again! My goal is to continue to enjoy being meatless for at least 5 days a week going forward. This challenge has also created a new habit of taking my mug with me for my afternoon coffee treat. :)

    Meditating and walking at same time... can be dangerous downtown!  Got honked at.  I will stick to just walking.

    Game night with the guys on Tuesday. No de-cluttering. I won, so totally worth it.

    Spent some time yesterday evening sorting through email responses on craigslist. A lot of people interest in used, but free mattress and box spring. Though many were asking for more pictures or just wanted one item or the other. Think I have someone lined up to pick up both on Wednesday though.

    Sunday is always a big chore day, but at least that makes meeting this challenge easier! Started prepping the yard for winter by putting away summery items and mowing the lawn (hopefully for the last time till Spring). Also listed the box spring and mattress for free on craigslist. Hope they go quick! Spent some time in the office doing some much needed filing as well as organizing of my cards.

    On Saturday I was able to delve into the basement again. I pulled out several large boxes, flattened them and then folded them up to fit in the recycling bins. A lot of low hanging fruit in the basement in terms of decluttering.
