I just looked that up.
Yeah, it's bad.
I hope SIX is OK.

Out in a bit after a power outage this morning. Have no idea when it went out but I got up to nothing on. Good thing I have a couple of battery operated clocks around here and flashlights. Things to do. I hope the elevators are up and running. I don't feel like walking down 9 flights of stairs.

Some clean up done yesterday of a spot in the washroom that has been bothering me for a while.

Yeah, me too. Also, decluttering. I cleared the countertop of random miscellany that wound up there. Curiously, I had a decorative basket of seashells that I left, kind of like SIX. And I had spare plumbing parts in the lower cabinet shelf. That's being scrapped.
Altho the weather is still beastly hot, I started doing cleanup after the cleanup. We accumulated various scrap metal pieces that were kind of around... Metal frame of a broken chair, plumbing parts, pieces of a metal bed frame, a loooong aluminum chase that I think our electric company left, etc etc. so I snagged a couple of our 33 gal bins and a bucket for steel/iron, aluminum, and brass/bronze and started collecting them up. Some things will probably need an angle grinder or hacksaw to get to fit in the van.
Had dear daughter literally take everything out of her frig shelf and dispose of stuff, or freeze.
Also tidied up the office desk.
So it's been a continuing process. Not doing big sweeping changes like SIX, but definitely making progress.
And today I checked over the sales and wrote up the weekly menu and grocery list, which I do every week before shopping.
More to do tomorrow!

My problem with decluttering is that once the kitchen table is usable I end up messing it up again.
Got a couple of other spots I want to hit over the next couple of days.

Well, there's tidying and then there's decluttering. Tidying is when you put things back where they belong, and toss the odd bits of trash. Decluttering IMHO is when you move a significant amount of things out of the house. Permanently. Yanno, when something you haven't touched in a year or more is shifted out of the house, it's unlikely find its way back any time soon.
I'm always tidying. After I've put back the pens, the notepads, the bandaids and cream, the spray cleaner for glasses, the lists, coffee cups, spoons etc., those or similar items will make their way back to the table. It's a never-done task. Decluttering to me is, if not exactly once and done, at least it's something you only do once a decade or less offen!
There's a real satisfaction in decluttering.

I see what you mean. Yeah, it is more tidying the kitchen table in spots. I've sort of given up on it as I realized it probably won't stay tidy and there is just me.
Course I've got kinds of spots that need tidying and I will get too them. I promise.
