I have six containers of quilt blocks and material pieces out of the house. I have one large empty trunk, which I am going to fill with books from my personal library. I have another large trunk in the dining room that I have to empty, but I do not know what it contains. I am sure it does not contain books because I removed the books in 2007 to store something else inside, but I do not remember what I stored.
I am not sure I will open that trunk today. I have to pull it away from the wall and my back is soar from pulling the trunk with the material into the entrance hall last night. However, my back is not the only part of me that hurts from the exercise. My osteoarthritis is acting up today, so I think I will fix me something to eat and take one of my pain pills. That will help alleviate the pain, which will make packing the empty trunk I have a little easier.
Downsizing is a slow process, which is not helped by the pain in my back and my knees. It is nice to have the material out of the house. I still have a lot of things to remove, but I think posting on freecycle will make the process of downsizing easier.

I need more cereal bowls
Istijlál (Majesty), 8 Jalál (Glory), 166 BE – Thursday, April 16, 2009 about 6:47 PM Pacific Time
I have three cereal bowls left from three different sets of dishes. I have a cupboard full of dinner plates, some with chips out of them, but still usable. I have saucers and medium sized plate, but only three cereal bowls. Now with only two people in the house you wouldn't think there would be a problem. However, there is a problem and that is I can't put the cereal bowls in the dishwasher because we don't run that until its full.
I've watched the local freecycle group, but haven't found any cereal bowls that aren't attached to sets of plates. I don't want an entire set of dinner plates, I just want more cereal bowls. I like to use cereal bowls for other thing then just cereal. I cut my apples into small pieces so that I can eat the apple. I put the pieces in a cereal bowl and then decide I want a bowl of cereal, but I don't have another bowl because my mother likes to do the same thing with her fruit.
Three cereal bowls aren't enough for two people. Two people need at least four cereal bowls. Eight cereal bowls is even better because we might want something else on the side such as ice cream or Jell-O. Of course, I could always put my ice cream on my cereal, I've never tried ice cream on cereal so it might be good. At least, with ice cream I wouldn't have to add sugar to the cereal the way I do with milk.
I think I'll go to one of the dollar stores next week and see if I can get some more cereal bowls. Since I have three bowls, I only need to get five more to make a set of eight. Eight cereal bowls would go nicely with my mismatched set of coffee cups.

I need to make a list of Freecycle items
Kamál (Perfection), 10 Bahá (Splendor), 166 BE – Monday, March 30, 2009 about11:37 AM Pacific Time
I need to make a list of items I'm looking for on Freecycle. I realized this when I checked the e-mails in that folder today. There were a lot of things, some of which I might want but don't need. I just don't have the space to store things that I want, but don't need. Therefore, a list of things I need would make looking at the Freecycle messages easier. Things I need to look for on Freecycle

- Cereal or soup bowls (I only have three soup or cereal bowels in my cupboard)
- Spoons (I don't need knives and forks only spoons)
- Flat sheets (we have many fitted sheets, but very few flat sheets)
- Chest of drawers with all its drawers (my chest of drawers is missing two drawers)
I think that is my list for now, all though I'll probably find some more stuff I could use once I clean the cabinets and dresser drawers out. If I did find a chest of drawers on Freecycle, I'm not sure how I would get it home. I have a 2000 Kia with four doors and no trailer hitch or trailer, so getting a chest of drawers home would be a bit of a problem.

The Second Day of Ayyám-I-Há
Istiqlál (Independence), 2 Ayyám-I-Há (Intercalary), 165 BE – Friday, February 27, 2009 about 6:11 AM Pacific Time
It's day two of Ayyám-I-Há 165 BE and I am cleaning out one of the folder in my yahoo e-mail box. I removing old e-mail in the freecycle folder. There is quite a few old messages in that folder because I didn't check that e-mail folder for a couple of months or so. I have to get that folder completed emptied before I offer anything on freecycle this month or next month.
I have some books and other items to offer on freecycle. I will offer them, then if no one picks them up within a week I will donate the books to the library. The other items I'm not sure what to do with except the cloths. The cloths I can take to the women's shelter. The other things will have to go somewhere besides the trash, but I have no idea where to take them as yet.
I'm going to start cleaning the third bedroom in the house out after March 1 and I am going to have to find someone who wants the stuff Mom and I don't use any more. There is no use throwing something away when someone else can use it. My grandparents recycled everything they could. I'm getting to the point where I'm recycling as much as I can.

My Microwave Finally Bit the Dust
Fidal (Grace), 13 Mulk (Dominion), 164 B.E. - Tuesday, February 19, 2008 about 9:33 AM PST
My Microwave oven went out yesterday. I checked the breakers to see if a break had tripped, but no luck. The Microwave is no longer working. I am going to have to either get another used microwave or buy a new one. This is not a good time for the Microwave to die, I just had the elm tree removed from the front yard and at the beginning of the month got a new set of tires for the car.
For the next few weeks, I will use the slow cooker or the toaster oven to cook everything in. That is unless I can find a used one on Freecycle or Vegas Trader. I have announced on Freecycle that I want a Microwave, but no responses yet. I have not ask on Vegas Trader yet because I am not sure what the budget will allow. I am going to miss that Microwave because I have enjoyed learning to cook new things in it.
