Clearing out the junk at home too
There’s spillover from working at the MIL’s house. I cleaned out my closet today and loaded a thirty-gallon garbage bag with clothes to go to Goodwill. I have more to do but it’s a good start. Even DH caught the bug and began to sort through his clothes, bagging what he doesn’t wear anymore.
This could be a good thing. It could mean the beginning of decluttering my own home. I have many ideas as to what can go. A few of them aren’t making DH very happy but since he isn’t the one who has to clean he hasn’t much say. Mwahahaha!
He’s coming over to the house on Sunday to sort through tools and has instructions to keep in mind all the things he can no longer do. Don’t bring home anything you only think you ‘might’ use.
In a couple of weeks there’s going to be one heck of a sale, everything must go. What doesn’t go will be hauled away.

Decluttering is good for the soul. It can also be addictive: you have been warned!
LOL! We used to have a yearly neighborhood yard sale and it kept the clutter in my house to a minimum. We haven’t done one for several years we NEED to do it again.
That works as long as you don’t make a habit of it and go out looking at other yard sales. Otherwise the phrase one man’s trash is another man’s treasure would be more accurately read “One man’s recycled trash is another man’s recycled treasure, LOL.
I avoid most yard sales…with the exception of the one up in Olcott NY where I found Gavin’s chair for 5.00.
Geez I wish I lived closer! That’s gonna be one whale of a sale!
It sure is! I hope we sell everything!
