Tearing down the wall....

[poltr1]

As many of you many know, my last job ended last week. I am now in the hunt again. And like it or not, I may have to leave Dayton, Ohio.

Now is a perfect time to go through what I've been saving and hoarding over the years.

Saturday, I went through 5 boxes. Today, I went through 3 boxes. I've made a couple of recycle runs to the local dump, dropping off unneeded cardboard and paper. Some items went to Goodwill. Plastic bags went to Kroger.

I'm making progress. But there's still a lot to be done. I've been saving this stuff for years.

I thought I would dread this. But it's fairly easy. Some of the stuff I haven't touched since 2004. And if I haven't accessed something within 5 years, I don't need it.

I've found the awesome part to be that making just a bit of progress every week === a HUGE accomplishment over several months.

I'm going to be sending most of a 2000 book paperback collection over to the Planned Parenthood Book Loft over the next 2 months. And that's only the start of the purging before we move to Nashville.

Congratulations! If it doesn't stress you out too much, I think it would be good to take pics of the rooms at various points in the clean-up to remind yourself later how much you actually accomplished.
