Disaster Zone

I had an indoors weekend. What does that mean you ask? I was indoors like a caged animal cleaning like there was no tomorrow. It never surprises me how much crap I have and how much stuff I don't want to part with, but don't use that often. But I need to get rid of, pack, store, sell, move, etc, etc for the big move in date that is less then a month away. Yup, Jay is moving in!

My place is not that big and we both are consolidating our stuff. I naturally have a small pack rat habit that I inherited from my Mom, plus have an emotional attachment to so much stuff. I did make progress tho.

I cleaned out this closet for Jay. It looks small, but I had a lot of stuff packed in it. The stuff in the picture is some of his stuff.

Towards the end I was running out of places to stick stuff. This is the stuff that was homeless, but I eventually found a home for them.

Then there was the pile of stuff I am getting rid of. Yes, I know it's small, but as the day ended it grew a little bigger and I got rid of a big trash bag full of shoes, clothes and accessories. You should have seen Jay's face when he first saw my tiny ironing board. I dry clean most of my stuff, so rarely found a need for an ironing board or a big one for that matter, so I just had the traveling ones.

I was proud of the 3 bags of trash I got rid of. There were class materials from years ago that I must have thought I would reference back to and never did. I also have a grocery bag of stuff that needs to be shredded.

And on to the BIG project... FILING! ICK! I know it looks like a disaster zone! I hadn't filed in about 9 months and had not gone through boxes of random papers for over a year. I cleared out 3 storage boxes. YAY for me!

Oh and I cleared out a shelf in the bathroom for Jay. And to think... there is still more to clear out. Maybe this weekend I will go through my closet again and see what more stuff I don't use and could part with.

Don't worry honey, you and your stuff will fit into our place. Hopefully, not just barely!
