Float On: My "Happy Place" is on my little kayak in the coves of Table Rock Lake.
Float On, I can tell you're still looking critically at every category you touch, and discarding the extras. Way to go!
I'm on break next week, and can't wait to get back to my decluttering!
We purged the most challenging part of our cupboard this morning: Herbs, Spices & Miscellaneous Foodstuffs. Got rid if lots of ancient seasonings that probably are as tasty as dust at this point. Now it's so much easier to find the things we actually use!
62-67 Was gifted a Thanksgiving Dinner basket by husband's employer. I don't like using canned veggies or boxed stuffing so those are going to the local food pantry.
68 basket the above dinner was gifted in. I don't need a basket.
69-71 3 pair of pants I'm not interested in wearing anymore.
72-74 a few more winter skirts I'm not going to wear this year.
75-77 A few christmas bags and wrapping supplies I rec'd last year after purging my Christmas supplies. I won't need these since I use re-usable cloth bags and ribbons I made 10 years ago. Plus we've cut our list down even further. All Christmas wrap stuff is now stored in one 12x12 fabric cube box.
78-79 Glass vase and glass bowl sold out of our remaining "stock" ($480 earned will pay for property tax owed on cars)
80-81 Found another 2 boxes of business cards - tossed in recycling (kept just a handfull)

actually the Star Trek Hallmark ornament that our friend gave Dh 20 some years ago DOES go for $100+ on eBay. It went up in value. Plus, it is cool,it has nice features and good scale and articulation of plastic parts.
But vadt legions of other "collectibles" can't be sold for anything.
I finished cleaning/purging/reorganizing the kitchen cupboard and under-the-sink cabinets. I'm really pleased; I have 3 boxes of miscellaneous stuff ready to go to the SA, and our kitchen storage is a lot cleaner and better organized, with what we use most often being much more easily accessible.
Thanks for the encouragement, UltraliteAngler!
Today threw away stray unpaired socks and old underwear from my daughter's drawers for a total of 19. New total for month: 61.
82-86 how did I acquire so many live tree christmas stands? Left overs from our days of owning a Christmas Tree Farm. My parents were always sending another stand home with me. I helped dad clear out another 12 from their attic while I was home over Thanksgiving.
87-88 2 baseball bats
89-90 2 tennis rackets (need restrung anyway)
91-92 2 camp chairs (plastic has gone brittle)
93-94 coolers (parents keep acquiring and sending home with me - at least they keep my freezer full of farm beef and venison)
95-100 5 various clothing items (sweaters, scarfs, pants, shirts)
Another month done. One more month to go! December is going to be hard!
