I did a 15 minute challenge outside to see how much of his trash I could gather up before the timer "dinged" and managed to fill these 2 garbage cans full/over flowing. 😀

I'm not even sure I can remember what has gone out since I was last online on the 17th! But here's a few at least:

GREAT JOB Mare and SusanL! 😀

Thank you Susan I love to hear those kinds of stories with a throwaway. It helps me feel more connected and understood here without judgement or criticism.

I found my best cutting board which was a large block of thick wood with very short legs on it, but it was broken in two! It was my father's and so cherished but... I have other things from my dad so I...

threw it out! 1 cutting board (rest in pieces)

I was going to keep a ripped sheet thinking, well maybe somebody can use this, and then came to my senses. I don't want to put it on a guest bed by mistake and have them worry that they ripped a sheet. I don't need any more rags and nothing needs covering.

Out: one ripped sheet

Wow I am doing great and so are the others! Its funny how satisfying it is to list the things going out and have a real number to look at... wow wow wow hahaha.

GREAT JOB Mare! 😀

Your grand total is now 466 🙂

WAY TO GO diane! 😀

I was going to give up the grey paint as my 1 gallon give away, paint hoarder that I am. Then realized I could use the grey paint on walkway cement, so I cleaned and painted cement today. It is hard for me to give away paint, so will have to find another gallon to give away this week. It was hard cleaning the crap up off cement after heavy rain, made thick mud with the 20 years of dirt,, all gone now and painted grey. I can walk through there without worrying about turning sideways or having something fall on me, still lots of junk to get rid of there but so much better. I really have to focus on progress, was saying "why can't you just get rid of that pile of crap?" then focused on wide area that is clean and said there is tomorrow to finish more of it.

WOW!!! amazing diane it made me wish is was a yard sale OHWAIT!!! Off limits! Hahahaha.

1 bag of trash I need to pick it up! The pace, that is!

My son-in-law brought me several more boxes today and just put them willynilly here and there so I have even more to do but that's alright.

TOTALLY AWESOME JOB diane! 😀
