Six items gone from another bathroom shelf.

Two ice cube trays donated. I still have too many...

I threw out 3 bottles of things from my master bathroom cabinet that I never used and am sick of looking at.

And today I decided to throw out the printer that has not worked in a year. I have tried repeatedly to fix it and my son also tried.

I brought 21 pots home from camp, plus I bought a teapot from one of the demonstrating artists.

Good job Lila!

I have a corrected update as well.  I’ve mostly been finishing pots at camp (which will come home today)  but here is my current correct total.

I have been chipping away at my Tally. Today I cleaned out the cabinet above the fridge. It is deep, and about halfway back were things that no hands have touched in 20-30 years! I found cleaning supplies with expiration dates in 1997!!! I threw out the old, and donated several vases and a candle that is at least 30 years old. I was able to get rid of 12 items today. There were a few more from a week ago that I could not post because of the board change, but I still kept track.

Alright, time to get this thing going again. I am not getting rid of enough stuff.

This morning I looked around my bathroom, got rid of one container I have been hanging onto for months but not using, as it is plastic and I am trying to switch to mostly glass, and one hair product I have had for probably 8 years but don't like it but hold onto it and use it like once every 3 months. It is just taking up space on my counter at this point, I don't even like it and it will take me until I am 90 at this rate to use it up, so out it went. 2 items gone.

Lila, I think you're doing really well.

Lila,

I am proud of you for the steady progress.

I am backsliding again. I had a two net in today and brought home six finished pots and two unfinished pots.

More pots will come home today.

Working in my studio this evening - unpacked 29 pots I brought home from the city studio. I can't remember if I counted any of them (some were from an earlier box), but I have so many I'm just going to say I didn't.

I also found one thing to add to the car.

So I need to sell 39 pots this weekend.

So I took everything to the thrift store - about two bins worth. I also dropped off some books I had already counted out (included in the "about two bins worth). The little free library was very full. And very tempting. Also I spent $1 on an adorable giant rabbit bag. It is for carrying the Easter eggs for the hunt next year. It will fit in the egg bin. I am +6. Not counting a few things that are going straight in the "take to Birdy" bin and the "future baby" bin.

Sometimes I feel like I have come far enough and I just want to stop. But then I look at the basement and I know I have not. I'm starting to understand stand why people get storage units. If I had a storage unit, I could put all the holiday/dd2/"baby library" bins in it and my basement would be organized and functional by summer..

Don't worry, I'm not going to do that.

The offsite craft storage wanted all my stuff! I'm calling it a bin and a half.
With the two things I gave dsil:

I am now 1.5 bins short of my "by the end of April" basement goal.

I feel like stopping sometimes, too, SubC.

I worry my garage will become a storage unit when TotsFam moves out. We will just keep plugging along.

1 large office chair, 2 other random items, out forever.

Good work Lila!

I am going to carry your storage bin concern over to the what are you doing thread. I hope you don't mind.

Three big items out with my farm sitter.

Yesterday I threw out a pair of worn out garden shoes.

Also the new truck arrived. I am counting it in because we will have two trucks until we take the other one to Ds in the fall. If I forget to count the other one out then, that's ok.

Also the very slow package of Legos to redesign my little man's house arrived, but I am not counting them in because I can hold them in a closed hand and they are going to become part of an already counted set.

So I am calling it even.

I do want to say that I put the new playroom toys neatly away on shelves in the playroom for my boys to discover.

Two large planters that have been sitting in my yard, one with a massive crack and one I just don't like - gone.

Nice job Lila!

I added 8 things to the donate bin today. Also I just remembered that Ds broke a plate when he was here. So that's 9.

(The dolls I gave away yesterday don't count because I had already counted them out)

Net out - 126
And one pot.
