Thanks to the move - which is still ongoing, because I have too much stuff - I've been a wee bit busy. AND, I won't have DSL at home for another week, at least. I'm suffering here, people.
Seeing even more of what I really have to deal with is making me think I'm going to refocus this blog from an attempt to fill my 1000 Things list (which is not going away) to touch on everything I get rid of for the rest of the year. The effort will still exclude ordinary trash that I get rid of on a regular basis, but it will include things I should have recognized as trash or recycling but didn't (Typically, The Box the Item Came In, even better when I still have the box, but not the item).
I seem to be having some trouble posting from my current location (nearest coffee shop with wifi) so I'm going to keep this post short with just one photo. This is a pile of stuff I got rid of a couple of years ago, chairs included. I refinished the chairs prior to donation because even though I didn't want them, I wanted them to be in a condition in which someone else would want them. This is a hoarding tendency I have, that everything has to go to a good home. I won't donate things I think will be thrown away, so I do what I can to make sure stuff is in good condition. It is one of the reasons I keep boxes, because I acquire things with the knowledge that one day I will wish to dispose of those things, and that the items will be more desirable to others if they can get the box and/or manual.
Anyway, I just wanted to clarify that I have been getting rid of things along the way - I just need to step it up!
