I didn’t plan on cleaning my closet out today. This project occurred out of necessity. As a Christmas bonus, Mr. Hippie got laid-off indefiinitely. So while the kids and I returned to school today, Mr. Hippie stayed home. He did dishes. And laundry. Lots of laundry. He did so much laundry that when I got home from work we were out of hangers (and somehow, we still have three loads of wash waiting in the wings).
So, I decided it was time to purge the closet. Since Mr. Hippie was home, he purged his half three-quarters of the closet too. I went through the dresser and the under-bed storage for good measure and when we finished we had this:
Clothes from the closet.
It doesn’t look like much, but this pile of clothes filled a 13-gallon trash bag. When we finished the laundry we started on the kitchen cupboard. That wasn’t on the list but this bag of pots/pans and storage containers found a new home at Goodwill:
Dishes, pans and storage containers purged.
And, now my cupboard looks like this:
Cleaned out cupboard.
Good for you! Now, doesn’t that feel great?
I moved my office upstairs. It’s been an odd feeling all day. In the process, I didn’t lessen the load of “stuff” nearly as much as I thought I would. I like the every 6 months rule applied to my office.
Happy New Year!
Oh, you are motivating me! I need to go through stuff too. This might be a good day. Thanks.
