Yup. :)

It’s a fanny pack, and I refer to it as such. :) I settled on a fanny pack because I can slide it around to access it without taking it off to get my camera.

The Wet Ones are because dirty hands are one of my anxiety triggers. I almost never use them, but I have them just in case.

I carry two small water bottles, and my husband carries three larger water bottles. So we have plenty of water.

Precisely! I have OCD, and the though of my neat stacks falling over fills me with horror. And I’m not going to buy or make bookends, when I can just continue my current method, and put clean clothes on the bottom of each pile (because we MUST use FIFO for t-shirts and underwear, lest on item get more wear than…

The problem I have with this is that towards the end of the week, the stacks fall over once the drawer is half empty. That bugs me more than rooting through vertically stacked shirts.

Yes! Exactly! I enter everything into Quicken (via Neat Scanner or Genius Scan or manually entering [Amazon kindle books]) and it makes me pay attention to what I’m spending.

Oh, that’s a good idea. I’ve got (too) many email accounts, and I have most of them on my phone.

Take classes that look fun, even if they don’t count toward your degree.

I avoid touching *any* door handles in pubic places, if at all possible.

My grandmother moved in with me and my husband when she was 89, and lived with us until she broke her leg while visiting my aunt (in another state) at which point she remained with my aunt for the last year of her life.

What are the design rules when you have book cases to fit into every room?

We can't fit a king bed in our bedroom, but are happy with our queen, so that's okay. (And our bedroom is essentially like yours—there is a narrow aisle to access the dressers but otherwise the whole room is the bed.

I actually like getting rid of stuff I don't use—I donate it and feel like it's doing someone else some good. :)

If it really causes you pain, talk to a physical therapist before you get in too deep.

Pretty much a dream for those of us who live in 1920s and 30s built houses where even with small furniture pieces everything is packed in.

Repurposing your toilet paper rolls for something else? Cereal boxes and old greeting cards are other alternatives.

You could make one with a piece of ribbon with bangles tied onto the end, but I just snatched up a bunch when I first saw them. I actually have one made of ribbon, but the ribbon often turns and gets creased/folded and I get all twitchy. So string/thread it is for me. :)

Remember, Frequent Reading Wears Out Your Books

Has she tried the "string" bookmarks? They're what look to be a piece of waxed string with with bangles of various sorts on the ends. I love them because they don't affect how the book sits in my hand and they generally don't fall out while I'm reading. I have a whole collection I keep on a necklace hanger screwed to…
