miss lion!!! you courageous thing, you!
Thanks for joining!
I tend to over work / over think / over break down things.... so I'm adding my box/bag out count to my items in donation count...
into donation box, ancient phillips screwdriver...
I was looking in tool drawer for a tape I USED YESTERDAY, couldn't find it and dragged out about 10 screwdrivers...looked at that one and said "Bu-bye". Didn't find the tape measure, and the little one won't stay stiff over a length of distance, measuring for a shelf. *sigh* I can measure "close enough" and re-cut if I need.
41+13+1=55 cummulative count
bag of shredding
into donation dull drill bit (can be sharpened, I can't do that)
57 cummulative count

Worked like a demon in the basement of doom today. Charity pickup is coming next wednesday.
Worked on the most cluttered/squalorish corner, where every single items is pretty much in a different category.
What's going next week:
2 black legal sized file cabinets that formerly help up the surface of my old desk - and were deep paper bunkers.
Old crappy unsigned paintings - it is time - I can't hold onto to all of the work I don't sell, I am drowning in it as it is!
Art panels and stretchers of dimension I do not use any longer - are too large etc.
A ton of office supplies - was ruthless here.
Old dog beds and toys - Pablo doesn't use anymore now that Hector is gone.
Random camping gear that hasn't gotten used over the last 2 summers.
Scores of video tapes. Lots of Disney.
All of the stuff above - significant amounts in each category - the donation boxes are taking up quite a bit of room atm.
I still have a few medium boxes that I will get to on Monday when I have the day off again. My paper recycling is going through the roof - I have 3 of those large, standup paper lawn and leaf bags full, and the last one is getting there rapidly.
It is my hope that once this stuff gets moved out for donation that the basement of doom will start to look better - it is like the black hole, where one can toil for hours and see no noticeable difference after throwing out what seems like mountains of stuff.
I am at the point with areas down here that I want to literally chuck everything - need a little break and some balance heh.
