I’m in a lather to get rid of stuff after last week’s flood. A variety of items went in the trash today, including but not limited to:
Random toys that were once part of a set
Baby teethers
A plastic activity cube
Portable bed rails
Baby jumper seat
Plush “bowling” set
Two duffel bags
That’s just from the random assortment of stuff that’s been sitting in the garage since last Tuesday. In the next few weeks we’ll have to go down in the basement to re-arrange and sort all the other items, but I already have my sights set on a bin full of coloring books and random plastic bags full of left-over party supplies.
While we’re down there, I’m going to carve out some office space for myself. We have a carpet remnant that made it out of the flood unscathed, and I plan to lay that down under the desk where we have our modem and AirPort Extreme set up. The desktop computer that we never use anymore will get wiped clean and recycled, and viola — home office!
Over the next two weeks I’ll be preparing for our annual summer vacation, which means I’ll be spending a lot of time with our clothing. My closet is getting weed-whacked — anything I haven’t worn in more than a year goes into the donation bin, and I’m not going to hang on to my fat clothes any more. I’ve shed 15 pounds since last summer, and I don’t plan to put that weight back on. So why keep the evidence of my former sloth?
Fat clothes, be gone!
I’m on a tear, y’all. What are you getting rid of this week?
