Rockin' it, Steve!
I sent in two DVDs to the Amazon trade-in program for a gift card.
Count: 48
3-10 a big stack of magazines we're passing on to a friend
11-13 a few new/in box medicine items (I bought the wrong 'flavor') will give that to the community health ministry
14 trashing a shower curtain rod that apparently rusted apart under it's plastic wrap and broke when I moved the shower curtain (no replacement, we used two rods and I can combine both curtain and liner on the remaining rod)
15-17 3 pair of favorite jeans that I've hung onto for years (they may get moths before I ever get back down to that size so someone might as well use them)
18-25 I found a stash of used ink cartridges. Turned them in at staples under the church account.
26 office chair that I've recovered so many times that there is finally no fixing it. Will just use the exercise ball at that desktop instead of replacing the chair.
I'm not at the start of 3 days off. So, from the start of the month:
1-3 Dressers I gave to family
4-5 Boxes of record albums given to younger family member
6-8 rain jacket, sweater, shirt in Jeep to go to donation
I already have at least 2 items of clothes set aside, but won't count them till they are in the Jeep. I'm just getting started again opening boxes and totes. I hope to have close to the 100 items by the end of the 3 days. Lord knows I have enough stuff to get rid of to make the goal.
9, 10 2 more items of clothing
11 book
12, 13, 14, 15 tablecloths
16 apron
17 - 20: 4 ashtrays
21 - 23: 3 books
24: tshirt
25: coin purse
I need 25 more for the week just to catch up. I'm having an amazingly difficult time turning loose of things.
26: suitcase
27: book
28 - 38: kitchen utensils
This morning, reorganized our pantry/closet (where things got disorganized when our guest moved in again). Out went five packages of expired baking ingredients (composting and recycling what I can) and nine of those disposable plastic storage tubs (we have enough water-tight ones and the local thrifts will take them for resale or odd bits on the shelves). Also to the thrift is a nylon serving spoon that has a hard time with anything weightier than chips. If I can't count on it to do its job, it's outta here. So 15 more items; total of 80 now....
39, 40: 2 suitcases
41: small bag of feminine supplies to trash
42: bent potato peeler to trash
More ... cleaned our downstairs "visitor's suite" ;) and collected only dust. And two of those non-woven-textile shopping bags, both of which show precarious holes on their bases. Two more record albums for the next batch going to the used-record store. 84... and I might have to be done for the day.
[EDIT] Plus three storage-container lids without bottoms. I know they're not lost anywhere, so out they go. :( New total is 87.
shadowmoss, remember that anything more than zero is, well, better than nothing! keep at it!
