Goal for the month: The 13th day of the 30-day pUrGe Of StUfF fRoM mY lIfE. Did 10 hours worth of purging, shredding, procrastinating sorting and getting rid of things I no longer want in my life.
Remote surfaces after three years! I am impressed.
My purging/turfing/recycling progresses at a snail's pace. I now have three shopping bags full of clothes and other stuff for the thrift shop. I just have to stop myself from buying as many as I donate.
From here on, have a one in two out rule, anything you bring in, you have to take out two of something similar you no longer need, or two of anything at all. Eventually, you won't need to purge ever again.
MessyM, that's such a simple idea that it seems like it should have been obvious, but it's not. I'll do it!
Wapak, yes, I still have the DVD player. You can 'sorta' use it without the remote, so I made do.
Judith, I usually drop off stuff at a Goodwill deposit, which is located at the same place as a store, so I'm not lured inside. It's not safe in there :)

I misplaced a red corkscrew about that time. You don't have it, do you?
ReplyDeleteSorry... the crew of the Marie Celeste left theirs behind, so I gave it to them. Didn't realize it had an owner already :(
ReplyDeleteDid I mention I'd found a lot of previously lost things in my garage when I cleared it out? (Jimmy Hoffa, Ambrose Bierce, Ms. Earhart...)
