    DH and I culled a big box of pottery, and sister took it away to rehome it. Our cousin visiting from Georgia last week took a few pieces.

    I have three digital sources to go through just to combine my photos from my recent trip! Should be fun, but the thought of doing it is a bit daunting.

    Went through texts, WhatsApp, FB Messenger, and Signal to delete any messages I didn’t need to keep. I also keep an empty email inbox and regularly delete what I don’t need. There’s no reason to keep messages you’re not referring to, plus that eats up phone storage.

    I have an older laser printer at my old house. When Steve died, I picked up a newer, black, laser printer for his house/work/estate stuff when it was on sale, in part because it was wireless, then I have an all in one color laser printer. (this came in handy when printing more copies of the death certificate)

    Took the wireless black printer (Brother HL-6200DW) to work today for my "work wife" as she calls herself. She is going through school and her inkjet is dried out, so she has been using the libraries or her sisters. Had a spare toner and sent a ream of paper (toner was picked up on one of my deal of the day sites around the time I bought the printer, still on the starter toner). I don't know what they do now, but when she finishes with her teaching degree, do teachers still print a bunch of stuff, or is it all digital now?

    Working on sorting, labeling keys for my family. Plan on going home tomorrow and working around the house.
    Just started the new Chemo today, so not giving up.

    All posted on local Buy Nothing group:

    Big pile of stationery I’ve had for years. Don’t write letters anymore as it just hurts to write that much.

    Travel backpack

    Big wheeled duffle

    Canned veggies and beans I bought too much of.

    An acquaintance was looking for cinderblocks on FB. I asked DH if there was any reason why I could not offer her the one that we have. I think it might have been here when we bought the house 40 years ago, and it actually seemed like a win-win opportunity to get rid of it. DH (who for the record, is a lot less into "stuff" than I am), said, "But that's our cinderblock! You can't give it away. It must be very, very old!" Mm, okay, I'll not pry away the precious family heirloom cinderblock from your hands. I never knew it meant so much to you.

    Ah, Rosa, You just never know what sentiment is attached to a cinder block.

    Two kitchen canisters. "Just in case" items that I have vowed to no longer keep.
