I am close to a point where my comments here will become repetitive, and I don't want that. There has been a little of this already. So I will be writing less and less. When I get Harriet's ashes and set up a memorial for her here, I'll post a photo and write no more. But I'll keep this blog online and alive for the possible interest of her family and friends. i say "possible" because I have no sense whatever if anyone visits this blog. There was one early comment by a daughter, a very interesting one, but otherwise there is no evudence that anyone else has ever been here.  In a phone call, a friend of Harriet's told me there are memories and sharing about Harriet on Facebook.

 Ah, the things we do under stress! In my enthusiasm to get rid of clutter, I managed to throw away a TV remote! Just reordered.

 Today I removed 3 more bags of clutter, taking them to garbage. I should be able to finish up decluttering in two or three days. My first pick up of donations is Tuesday. I am using the Vietnam Veterans of America. I anticipate doing this once or twice a week until I'm done. In a week Harriet's oldest son and one of her best friends are coming over to help me with Harriet's personal items. A productive day. But last night sucked,  I couldn't sleep. As noted here earlier, nights are harder for me than days.
