    I have promised a bookstore out of state a lot of boxes of books! This will, I think take 1/2 or less of the storage unit, but it will be a large chunk. Hurrah! Gave a bag of books to another bookstore this afternoon. Meeting a 3rd bookdealer Friday... I am determined to get out of the book business and the storage unit!

    Sold a portable air conditioner this morning. I had bought it used from a friend a couple of years ago for $100 to use in one of our bedrooms. Son moved out. I am using it for a guest/craft room now and ended getting darker curtains which has helped keep it cool. I never did use the air conditioner! Posted it last night on Facebook Marketplace for $125. Got lots of responses. Sold it this morning for $125 and have a nice empty space in a closet, too.

    I took four items back to the store. New total for month: 30.

    I have many, many items to return to stores, and I'm a little embarrassed to have you all see that, but ... it really motivates me to count them as part of my decluttering!

    It's great that you're doing that, EJ. Less clutter and money back in your wallet.

    Got rid of a lot yesterday. A giant table that we had picked up free from a bakery, that took up so much space in the shed. A very nice dresser, an office chair, a red shelving unit, and a couple of small heaters. Put it all out in front of the house and all gone except some pallet wood and a piece of exercise equipment. Will take that to Goodwill today with two bags of small stuff and a box of canning jars.
