Found something else in the bedroom this morning to declutter. I had forgotten to check one of the nightstands where I keep medical devices like ace bandages and knee and ankle braces.

When my oldest was 9, he broke his elbow and needed a cast and arm brace. I kept the arm brace just in case any of my boys ended up getting hurt again.
Hadn't gotten it out since and my boys are between 21-24 years old.

Looked at it this morning and realized it was a kid sized brace and wouldn't fit anyone now so it got decluttered.

Got rid of a rocking chair I bought 25 years ago when I got pregnant with my first. Never used it with him or his brother.

Am I the only one decluttering this month? :laff: Got rid of a battery operated can opener. I never reach for it anymore and just use the manual one. It started being a pain and I would have to try multiple times to get it to work correctly so I bought a manual one.

While Christmas was on my mind going back and forth whether to buy stuff at Hobby Lobby, I ended up decluttering a Santa that can be used as a tree topper or table decor. Cleared out a big space in the box of Christmas decor.

I have decluttered and given away a bit of Halloween stuff from my mother's house. There are one or two items I may try listing on eBay. When I go to her house on Sunday, I plan to bring home the last of her Halloween stuff to give away.

I haven't done much in the way of decluttering at home recently. I guess I'm not feeling too "cluttery." I tend to get into this more in the winter months.

My house never gives off the cluttered feeling. Really only think about doing a pass through when I get inspired by a decluttering YouTube video or something jumps out at me and I wonder why I still have it.

in the past two weeks I’ve been on a little kick about purging things, little things I run across, the irritate me. these are things that I might use again but maybe I won’t, or I don’t know what it is exactly so I’m gonna pitch it.

Already I went out to the garbage can to dig something out when I Figured I could use it in a sewing project. It’s not something that I HAD to have, but it came in handy.

but usually, I don’t regret pitching things

okay---last month, i drove ta Nixsa, Zurras fastest-growing city, and bought a chevy engine block that a guy wanted to get rid of. Then, i stopped at a junk dealer, who buys scrap and places some of it out front for people like me to purchase. So yeah---i got two pieces of junk, and hauled them home. they are laying out in the side yard. the engine block is in a garbage bag in my house garage. how do you kids like that?
