April 2021 Sort, Tidy, Declutter!

I set up a chemical drop off at the SWALCO company - yay

[blessedw2]

working on this:

working on the containment theory by Dawn White and Minimal mom: what can you handle - if you have too many things to do or have too much stuff that you can't keep up with.

yesterday I dropped off a Ina Garten book that was new that I never used at the book drop off. Her recipes tend to repeat themselves but use different veg or something.

I have to let go of things that I rebought but have no one to do things with: uno game, chess set, cards, games in general. it makes me sad but I can see it will never be used.

the games are at the front door. It ached to let it go but I asked dh if he ever wanted to play a game with me - it's not his thing.

I am letting go of my bike - my dh won't be thrilled but he hasn't ridden a bike in 10 years+ and I really don't like bike riding. I love hiking (lol when my ankle is back to normal). I think after this severe ankle break that it's time to let go. He can keep his but It's time to bless someone else with mine.

I did a put away from 3 season room. games are gone. (I have to remember that I have to stay where I am now).

The herbs I dead headed have been burnt so glad for that task to be competed yea for progress they were quite bulky.
Having those piles gone makes it look so much better in the back yard! Yippie!!!
18 mph winds make it not fun to be out side today so
Glad I got it done yesterday.

[blessedw2]

yay on getting that done d Nancy!!!

[blessedw2]

donated my bike today on fb marketplace for free

[blessedw2]

I went through the boxes that were dd Youngers that were under the stair - got rid of 2 white bags of junk -
tossed 2 bags of garbage from basement.
I really want dd older to go through her stuff but if she is not wanting to do it yet.
I don't mind things being in her spot in the crawl space but in a pile in the basement.
a bag of books are going
a bag of misc. are going
a frame thing Large from pottery barn kids is going too.
got rid of dd Youngers rocks - she hasn't been home in a year and a half and she hasn't seen them for at least 10 years.

[Nancy]

Yea on your progress gals!
I decluttered three things and toss some stuff cleared papers on the table.

[blessedw2]

that's wonderful d Nancy!!!
rah rah rah

I have been adding finish things as decluttering (in my head) as it limits the pressure I put on myself. finish the decluttering process

things remaining to be finished for put away after decluttering:

I had taken the remaining books of dd Youngers and put it downstairs but now they need to be put in a box (see through for me) and put in her space under the stairs (closet)

other things that need finishing: take dd Youngers cameras and equipment and put in box - put away - right now they are 4 shelves in the upstairs hall closet.
