The emails DO pile up! I got to where they were becoming MORE clutter on my "virtual" desk -- I switched my profile to where I would receive the digest version -- all the emails from one day come together. Usually they post at the end of the day (around 10pm I think) so you won't get all the "fire drill" emails, but you can read the others to see what you can do for the next day. It seemed to help me when I switched.
I am glad you have that book - you'll have to loan it out to some friends
I need to get back into my routine. DH still shines my sink each night so that keeps me going
No on the collection -- I dropped the others off, and she said that they were running out of room. I told her to just let me know periodically when they needed clothes and stuff -- she said she would. So don't worry about collecting anymore - thanks!
