I was concerned I wouldn't have anything to blog this week, but then I was looking for something and ended up doing an unintended declutter!
I don't remember what I was initially looking for, but I had two shoebox-sized plastic totes tucked in a back corner in my bedroom. They were coated in dust and full of things I don't typically use!
Here's what it looked like when I unpacked the two totes onto my bed:
There were so many lanyards! My graduation with honors tassel, name tags from different things, a prayer shawl, etc.
I bagged up most of the lanyards into a Ziploc and put them in my Goodwill bag. I bagged up most of the religious "jewelry" and put that in the Goodwill bin. (I still love Jesus! I just don't wear or use these items.)
I put the jigsaw puzzle saying in a "projects" bin for ideas. I laundered the aqua prayer shawl and put it back into the one bin (I downsized). The other empty bin is for my sewing room. I threw away the name tags! Seriously! Why have I saved these for so many years?!
Cursillo, TEC, night watch at Lake Geneva Christian Center in Alexandria, . . . It feels really good to have thrown these away and to decrease the clutter!
I was finally left with one box of things that I am hanging onto for now.
The formatting on this entry may get strange, but I'm trying to do this in a hurry. Our grandson is staying over and will be awake soon!
In addition to all this that is pictured, I talked to Louie about donating the portable DVD player and all its attachments that I had asked for (a decade or so ago). I have used it in the past, but with how technology has changed and you can watch movies on your phone, it just sits. He was okay with it, so I'm going to test it out (can it work with just the car / cigarette plug-in thing, or do you need batteries also?) and then donate it! Woohoo!
And I already have a blogging topic for next week! Woohoo!
