    September Purge

    In an attempt to get ahead of decluttering my living room at Christmas, I decluttered a wreath.

    Well, technically I started in July with a massive decor declutter so a lot of Christmas stuff went then. I was thinking about where to put things now that I have no much less and I couldn't think of a place I wanted that wreath so it went.

    As far as last year's tree, it's been back in the woods since Jan 1st.

    Twelve pounds of old paperwork to Staples to shred. 2 comic books to the comic book store. One box of paperbacks to the dump's swap table.

    If getting rid of paper counts? i'm on a roll!

    are you kidding? Paperwork absolutely counts! It can be the most time-consuming stuff to be rid of.

    Two Christmas stockings and corresponding stocking holders that were bought for the cats. They don't even play with what they had been given in years past so I decided to just not buy any more.

    Getting ready for a camping trip, so pulled all the camping gear out of the closet. Along with it all came the grab-n-go bags and cases. Turns out I had more camping and emergency stuff than I realized. Separated out the camping gear and then started in on the grab-n-go bags. Had a car backpack, a big house backpack, a house crate and a hiking backpack. Went through all the bags, threw out old and expired items, repacked and now have my car bag, the house crate and the hiking bag. (ditched one backpack).

    Starting tomorrow I'll actually go through the camping gear. Basics are there (tent, sleeping bags, chairs, etc), but need to organize and check on the little things (utensils, soap, potholders, towels, etc).

    I gave a shelf full of books to the neighbor who has 3 children and is a writer. I had a pile of writing books that I will not re read, they are now new to her and she was pleased. Now the dining room table can be cleared even more easily! Lots more to do!

    Two more tv's gone. (pick up Saturday)
    Found out I may not need the physical title to do a TOD on the vehicles, so if I don't get them gone as quick as I want, I could easily still get them to where they are going. Third vehicle (superbeetle), am discussing tomorrow with friend that I want to have it.
    Talked with brother and brother in law, mower gone, other power tools spoken for (again doing stuff Saturday). Holding off on the Hospice stretch for a few weeks, knocking out restaurant stuff in multiple ways (from spare equipment going to work storage, to estate stuff, to digital signage, to personal computers).
    Brother MFC-8900CDW spoken for.
    Drill press I think taken care of Saturday, but discussing it with whom I want to give it to, tomorrow.
    Two battery chargers gone. May have all air compressors gone.
    I think most of the firearms taken care of. Gunsafe going to relative. Ammo spoken for. A few tools headed to my niece Saturday. Discussion about specialty tools, going to garage/estate sale.
    Slow, but progress. Surgery that was supposed to be today, delayed until next week after our discussion so we didn't have to drive out there today. Grr.
