Up to the thrift shop today. I've donated some plates and mugs I got specifically to stage the house we sold. Looking at the bottoms of those pieces, it says made in china, microwavable but might get hot there. So because of that, they're gone. And a few other things I just didn't really love. A few more everyday things that I had way too many of for just the 2 of us. Of course, the golf clubs, glad to have those gone. And some purse things, a wallet in good shape, stuff like that from the closet. Gotta keep at it.
I was going to write a few Christmas cards today.....but decided to get the donations gone instead. Great decision!
Adding to my thread going here. Yesterday up at the GW, I was behind and waiting for a lady to empty her car with her husband bringing out piles of stuff too from the back seat. The worker was piling it all up on a rolling cart. When it was finally my turn I asked him if they were getting so much more now that the GW closer to me was closed with damage. He said he was getting slammed with stuff and much of it was wet and moldy and people were not wanting to pay the landfill and just taking it to them. I don't know why they don't just leave it out for the pickup. Suppose they just want it gone because the pickups are so slow to happen. But that really isn't fair to the thrift because they have to pay to dispose of all that unusable stuff. I don't know why they don't just refuse to take this kind of stuff.
Anyway, I donated the last of the Christmas stuff I'm no longer using. On a whim I grabbed a bag full of books from the bookcase, stuff I had but not really interested in any more. I could easily put everything into 1 bookcase now rather than 2 and bring the other to the office and get rid of the one back there, but don't think DH would agree. Well, anyway, progress is progress!
