Still sick so confining myself inside. While the items haven't left the house yet, I feel like I need to have accomplished "something". LOL. I've culled about 10 books from my bookcase. Went through my bead craft bins and culled out stuff I will never use into a huge ziplock bag, emptying two small bins totally. The donation corner is filling up again so will try to call this week for a pickup date and get an exact count. Will pull the two different sprouting kits from the pantry for the yard sale pile, as I'm using canning jars instead of the plastic. Might be able to slip one or two more unused coffee mugs out of the cabinet as well.

When we still lived there, Mom said "every morning the windows opened and the linen stack was literally thrown over the sill to air out.
In the US we lived in hot SoCal. So bed linens are thrown back over the foot to air out for at least an hour. In my case, until I return to our room which sometimes isn't until evening!
I was hanging hubby's clothes last night in my "home wanderings" aka, couldn't sit still
Found some super dusty shoes/slippers on the floor behind hubster's pants. 2 slipper pair, cleaned and in the thrift store box. 1 pair trashed shoes (beyond repair), into the garbage can.
There were also 4 canvas bags from past education seminars he attended in DC. I didn't ask about those, but I will today. He has never used them, but the dude is a keeper of stuff so I must tread lightly.
I chopped up a piece of very crappy fabric and put it in the "doggie bed bag" for my friend. I'm lucky, no fiber goes into garbage since I found her!
Attention RNs: Why is it, I have retained text books from school? Why are they difficult to get rid of? I got rid of more than half years ago. But: med/surg, Peds, Nsg Research.........
Trash? Recycle bin with covers removed? I retired after 39y so they are not exactly current?
Apparently I need permission? Or pushing? Or a therapy session?
Plastic bags up from the supermarket. Although I am now using reusable bags I still have a lot of these.
Thanks, Gardnr. I am of the "beds must be made every day" school of thought. I had read that it is good to fold the covers back to air the bed out before making it, so that is what we do and I make the bed after coffee and showering.
I kept my nursing texts until I passed the NCLEX and worked for about a year. Then I realized that I never used them and they were quickly becoming outdated. So I made one last trip to the college bookstore to sell them.
After only one year, about half of them had zero resale value. So I sold half, and donated the other half to a program that supported nursing school students who couldn’t afford new books.
