Sorted out the mouse infested dry food storage last night. It was really hard to see all the food they ruined. Put things into mouse proof containers, reset the traps.
I also tossed out or used up any expired stuff I found.

Shredded papers and tossed out some old toys. Up to about 100 items so far. Maybe I'll try for 10 a day like last year except this time I won't bail after a few days.

I found something that I'm *going* to toss, does that count? Oh, it's an old box of birthday candles. There's 4 boxes, actually - but this one's special: the candles inside the box are used! Yup, probably had the icing licked clean off their bottoms. Lovely! Why didn't I just toss them when I had the chance? Uhh...because...because I wasn't going to part with anything in the box of treasures? Because that's my natural inclinations, to hoard every single thing? IDK. But I do know that I'm going to admit what I did, and hope that by me knowing - and you knowing - then some of the magic that those candles hold will wear off, and by next garbage day: adios to them.

Thrift Store was not open when I was in town today and did not want to wait an hour for it to open. Will be going to town tomorrow so I will take the items I have tomorrow.
I will be adding another 38 clothing items to the mix.

I haven't been on this thread for a few days but I was keeping track of everything that has been leaving my place. I have slowed down a little bit but am still going strong at this point. Since I last posted I have donated or trashed 70 items. That includes more clothes, some books and a few odds and ends.

Today was on the slow side for me but still not bad but soon it will probably go back up again. Today I was able to bag up 16 donations and 15 items went into the trash. Plus cleared out 2 small totes which is a big help.

In the 5 days since I last posted I have been able to get rid of lots of items and hope to continue going like I have been lately. 15 t-shirts 5 pairs of pants 1000 emails 100 papers 25 video games 3 pocket video game systems 4 remote controls 5 bags of trash
With all the emails I have to go thru I think from now on only the ones I need to read will count towards my 2015 items out since I have close to 13,000 emails to go thru

Going through my mass of stuff, gaining momentum here. When it got too overwhelming yesterday, I checked for outdated hair care products in the bathroom. Lots and lots of stuff gone into the trash this week! Yay!
