I had planned to take today, Saturday, as a day of rest after and extremely busy week. It's not over yet because tomorrow I have another gig (I am not complaining because gigs are an endangered species.) But instead of resting, I wandered restlessly around the house noticing things I could get rid of. I have a few staging areas containing different categories of clutter on its way out:
1) Odds and ends on the carpet of my crafts/guest room that I have not decided what to do with yet
2) A large basket of small knickknacks and costume jewelry plus two mirrors which will go to the American Cancer Society Thrift Store next week
3) 3 or 4 bags of housewares and clothing which will go to Goodwill (I got BF to part with a jacket and an overcoat he no longer wears, and I am giving away my second puffy down jacket--I only need one!)
4) Papers to be sorted through and filed in the inbox on my desk. I will undoubtedly recycle or shred many of them.
It's a great feeling! I am sitting in bed now at 9:30, exhausted, with BF tapping on his laptop next to me. I'm finally resting and all is right with the world!
