Getting rid of as many clothes as I did a few days ago, you’d think that was the end of it. But, oh no, I had a second go-round with the leftover clothes, and whittled away the pile by perhaps another third. Things I’ve never worn, things that don’t fit properly, things that are uncomfortable, colors I can’t stand, and so on. All gone. Well, not quite gone; most are waiting for inclusion in a new rug while a few are waiting for a ride to the thrift store.
This weekend I tackled a long overdue project and that was
to clean the cupboard under the bathroom sink.
It was quite cluttered and full, now its much emptier and well
organized. A few cosmetics went in the
trash. There is a maximum time that you
should be keeping cosmetics before they need to be thrown away. Since I haven’t purchased any in the past
year, I’m guessing ALL of mine should have gone to the landfill. I kept back the minimum that I need to keep
until my great Arbonne shopping spree in May!
Going through boxes and bins in the basement has been on my list of projects since
moving in. This weekend I went through
two boxes. Granted, they were both
extremely small boxes (think shoe box size), but everything has been allocated
to a new home. Jen’s stack of papers
from school has been recycled, kept for a bit longer, or tossed
completely. I’ll revisit the “keepers”
in a week or two, and I’m sure I’ll be able to get rid of even more. Why did I do Jen’s and not Chris’s? Very simply put, Jen’s papers were easily
accessible, Chris’s weren’t. I’ll get to his when I open the right box
downstairs.
Ugh, why are we so attached to our belongings? Is it really necessary to keep so many things? I'm sensing that I'm really on a mission here, to rid myself of anything that isn't necessary.
Stay tuned . . .
