practice discardia

really makes this goal an essential part of non-stressful living.

i’ve been working on clearing out one of the back rooms and so far so good. i have no idea what to do with the piano however. why do pianos have to take up so much space? how did i accumulate so many sheets and towels? and what does one do with old unused luggage that doesn’t fit under a bed? VCR anyone?

i suppose this is where i log into my inactive freecycle group and try to hawk my stuff.

for the library tomorrow. i’m happy to report that 10 of the 12 books I dropped off last time found new homes.

we also successfully got rid of some other larger household items – furniture to be exact – earlier this week. no thanks to me really, but i was glad to see it go all the same.

a dozen books at the library today when I go to return some books. I intend to repeat this action weekly until I’ve whittled my home library down to at least one room, and possibly to just one large bookcase.

Grist has several suggestions for eco-friendly spring cleaning. I really need to switch to using more nontoxic cleaners.
