Cathy Classics by Cathy Guisewite for September 29, 2014
Transcript:
Caption: A closet of clothes to sort and rearrange......a bathroom full of supplies to analyze...twelve kitchen drawers dumped out for review......three rooms of the house in mid-overhaul......the home organizer stops and spends 35 minutes trying to scrape the price tag and label off a new plastic sweater box so it will look nice in case anyone ever crawls under the bed and sees it. Nothing destroys progress like thoroughness. Cathy: I'M NOT RESTING UNTIL EVERY SPECK OF GLUE IS OFF THIS BOX!!

A-R, Cathy!!! I hope y’all have a nice restful Monday (because who wants stress the first day of the work-week!). ;)

Goo Gone. Problem solved.And if you don’t mind the stink, WD40 works as well.

Been there, done that. Now, I try to lower my “standards” (which probably vary based on how much I want to get the job done vs. procrastinate) so that I can actually get things done. I probably have a mild case of ADD because I get distracted so easily and many things go unfinished. But I’ve really been making an effort recently and Cathy’s house makes me want to fix it! :-)Hello Cathy friends! Hope you have a great day!

Yup — Goo Gone for that distraction. As for my own, I’m just like the rest of the Cathy Clan — we’re cleaning out the basement now and it has been a real wrench in some areas. I too had all my dead relatives stuff down there, as well as some of my own that should have gone out a long time ago. Like you, lightenup, I get easily distracted and the more my husband tells me to throw it out, the more I want to keep it. But I am getting rid of just about all of it. One more cabinet to go.

HI, MOM. Hello, Clan.

Yup! Same problem here. Too many sentimental things stored in the basement now after clearing Dad’s house. We have 7 months to do it then we move into a slightly larger house (which will make it easier). Moving is not my favourite activity!
