That's sounds close.
I'm just about finished Konmari-ing the outerwear. Some duplicates didn't pass the 'joy' test so are in a smallish (under one green garbage bag) pile of donations. I took dh's scarf in his university's colours in to put on him for a minute and he went, "I'm not getting rid of this." Of course not, but he had no idea where it was and so it never gives him joy. I was just putting it on him for a minute. Eventually, I made room for it in his regular gloves/hats drawer. He won't wear it but now when he opens the drawer he'll see it and get that spark of joy.
In the meantime, 2 unloved scarves were put in the other pile, along with some boots of mine (whenever I buy a new pair, I keep the old for some weird reason) and a jacket that I love but is the wrong colour.
I kept another jacket that is too small but brilliantly designed (and doesn't take much room) so I can use it as a goal to fit into. I have no idea how much weight I have to lose to wear it though, it is tight through my hips and they are one of the last things to get small. Probably 30+ pounds.
Somehow I've forgotten how the boot trays fit together in the closet and dh can't remember so the closet won't be done until he cuts them down to fit. He cut one earlier this winter and commented that it was easy, so I'm hoping these new cuts are easy too.
The rest of my day will be at the computer but I'll try and break it up with some vacuuming and maybe a walk outside.
We now have a winter storm advisory for Tuesday but it says it will start later in the day, so that means I could do the activity with dgsM2 but dd doesn't want him around other children due to germs. There's another 2 weeks of this and by then she figures dgdJ0 will have more of an immune system. In the meantime she complains about dgs being difficult but the poor kid must be bored out of his skull. He's used to library time and playgroup or a museum trip at least once a week. Dd was shocked to find out there was a play area at the aviation museum and we let him play there with the toys. Germs, you know. I did have him wash his hands before we left and he's great about not touching his face, plus he isn't sick, so he survived being with me just fine.
