Stop holding on to the things that clutter my home and my life

There is the fawn sweater that I did not donate after no one bought it at the garage sale. And I pulled R’s camel sport jacket out of the donation pile because I have always loved seeing him in it. He may wear it again.

But we sold enough stuff to feel OK about donating the remainder of the clothes, minus what I mentioned and my black wool skirt suit with the skirt that wraps long on one side and short on the other, with the snappy form fitting jacket. And the felt hat with the netting. It won’t be worn in Hawaii, but there is that European adventure in the offing, later in the year, so a pretty and sexy suit is a good idea.

The house is looking barren.

We are getting there.

Gotta work on my timeline, and then the big discardia rolls on!

Sofas, beds, plants, dishes and the pantry contents. “Statues, jewels, roasts!” I’m going to lose lots of weight here!

with this goal for now!

It will be something that I continue to work on!

I washed all of the dishes!
I cleaned a few mirrors!

Cleaned a little in the bathroom!
Washing the bath-tub is hard work…

And I picked up my medicine at the pharmacy!
And I returned my library books!

Tomorrow I need to throw out the trash.

And I ate lunch & dinner at home!

Cleaned up the back-yard today!
Phew!

a few days ago I finished breaking down most of the packing boxes I use as small tables in the garage. The garage also known as the bicycle building studio, now houses a new work bench. Most of my bike tools, equipment and parts are now in order. No more brining in tasks in the house. Everything can now be worked on the table right beside the bike stand.

there is one more corner i have to tackle that houses some unwanted household items and a few packing materials. it will be dealt with soon.

i think the trick here is to enjoy and celebrate what one has accomplished for a while and prepare for the next clutter battle in the horizon.

I washed all of the dishes!
Went through some of the newspaper!
Tossed out the trash!
Cleaned off my bedroom dresser!

Yay!

I started purging today. I noticed that I am running out of table top. I’ve cleared out things in my kitchen that I’m not using at all. Now I’m happy I can see clear and clean spaces.

While tackling the clutter, I’m reorganizing as well.

I washed all of the dishes!
Today the trash is gone!

I tried to recycle the other day but the place was closed.

I am proud that even though I didn’t feel well I managed to get a few things DONE!

1. I washed all of the dishes!
2. Dinner at home!
3. Trash out!
