After I dropped a load at the thrift store I went to Ross and came home with 3 shirts, a purse and 10 pairs of socks for 50. Oops!

I took 21 items to Goodwill. New total for month: 24.
Good job!
i emptied an entire attic this week, but it wasn’t mine:
one full sized pickup truck bed of cardboard to be fed into my dad’s burn barrel
one very full small sized suv load to the thrift store
Half the big pick up to the recycling center
full 30 gallon trash can for the dump
filled the bag recycling bin at the grocery store
Paper ream box of stuff for my uncle
then I half filled the suv again and brought it home.
some will go to the used book store tomorrow
some will go to my classroom tomorrow
some will go to the reuse store for art/craft/teacher/office supplies next week
styrofoam peanuts will go to ups
some us being stored for my son and dil
One item goes to the food bank on monday
and the rest (two boxes of canning jars and a small quilt are more than half by volume) is mine now.
I have 41 for a 4 season climate. 3 are for yardwork, painting, etc - s/s shirt, l/s shirt, sweatshirt
Of the other 38 one will likely go soon. It is stained and most of my stains don't come out in the wash.
I am not counting one top stained like that waiting for room in the trash, 3 blazers (for first, second and third interviews - when I was jobhunting I had one company call me in for a fourth but that is rare), pajama tops, bathing suit tops, or outerwear jackets.
We also have a 4 season climate. I did not count pajama tops because that wasn’t included in the book I read. I am at a good place for me personally.
Four more books, bringing me up to 80. I'm fairly sure I won't want to re-read The Great Gatsby, and if I do, my local library will be able to get me a copy!
My walk in closet is now very nice and I can easily find things. The floor is mostly empty. I organized DH’s side because it was a big mess. I didn’t throw anything away but it just needed to be orderly. Resting today.
A couple more items of clothing, another plastic fork. I stuffed another trash bag into the barrel for this week.
DS's microwave broke and I think that will require soecial electronics disposal.
I gave three hand-me-downs to my friend's daughter from my daughter and took 2 clothes hampers to Goodwill. Baby steps! New total for month: 29.
