I haven't updated here for a while, but I've been jotting down the things that are either gone or going out. Still finding things, but I've also been packing away keepers-for-now that I'm not prepared to deal with at this time and getting them out from underfoot. I have plenty of storage room, but I am being careful not to abuse that good fortune. Things are clearing up nicely here.
Last count - 62 items.
8 new wall stencils to donations 3 framed prints to donations 1 broken wooden frame into woodstove 1 cracked CD case into recycling 1 music CD to donations 2 pair of shoes to donations 3 new plastic garment bags to donations 1 dog dish to donations 3 hand towels to donations
23 items + 62 items = 85 items.
In the big scheme of (2018) things, this is not a huge amount so far (I should have participated last year!). But each thing gone is so satisfying...never to return. I'm not replacing any of these things, have no interest in acquiring at thrift stores anymore apart from searching out something that I need. "Wants" are minimal, wanting clear space has finally become the goal. Breathing room, I need breathing room.
Huge s to everyone who is getting things gone!

10 odds and ends from my bathroom junk drawer
2018 Cash on Recycling Refunds Running Total $02.40
Total for today 10 Items
I actually cleaned out my bathroom junk drawer. It's a small drawer but it took me several hours to go through it. There were so many tiny things to make decisions about. I am not "enlightened" enough to be able to dump the whole drawer in the trash without looking through it. Maybe some day. I found things I want so it was worth grepping through. Earrings, small tools, business cards with contact info I want, good pens and pencils, money.
Now I can open the drawer without having to yank on it and everything is neatly arranged and in plain sight. It was worth the effort. What does bother me is that there is no visible difference in the room unless the drawer is pulled open. Anyway, I feel good about the progress.

I think we're all doing well! Here's encouragement for everyone, including me. I totally agree with you! Great work on the junk drawer. Maybe it's not a "junk" drawer, anymore.
