Vacation Notes
Dear Friends,
I’m 18 days into my month of purging. It’s been 7 items a day (or in some cases like 40 items a day because I get a little behind). I’ve given away trash bags full of treasures, started a garage sale shelf in the garage (is that cheating because it’s not actually removed from my house?) and send 3 bags – ish with my sister for a consignment store.
It started off really easy – just piles of junk that used to mean something or I bought on sale or what not. Now it’s getting a little harder and I found myself today getting rid of old protein that a roomie (who got married a year ago so it’s been at least that long) left in a cabinet and calling that part of the purge.
Today I cleared an entire book shelf of books that I’ve read and won’t read again or they have sat there so long I’ll never read them.
So far I have cleared out enough shoes to make space for them all in the cubby holes, enough stuff to have a clear shelf in the coat closet, enough books to actually fit all my books on the shelf, enough clothes to make them all fit nicely now without crowding each other and causing wrinkles, enough “tokens” and “trinkets” to fill a trash bag, and enough sentimental memories to make me thing I have more hoarding tendencies that I originally thought.
Whew. Well, I’m gonna go wrap up a bunch of stuff I bought people for Christmas so they can throw it out when they do their purge later this year LOL.
