had a good day here but mostly catching up and also had catching up to do at my church chores-
I tossd 6 things and gave away 6 things-
I also was able to put some things out of sight-(out of mind ) as I have more drawer room- I just have to remember where>>>>>>>>> but it made me feel good to have room to put things away as this do helps the clutter look
so here is Meme now- 859 balance 12 minus ________________ 847 balance --left to remove from Meme's house
which means that I have 154 things less than when I began march 18 and I was planning to wait until april 1 so I have a good head start ---

fiddle dee- last nights post disappeared so l was blessed that my note card was still here= so yesterday I tossed 12 things and today I tossed 23 things
some big and some small and now all are in the outside garbage I will just total the two days and then have a nap I did a lot organizing in my room to day I am finding that now that so much clutter is gone- I can organize it takes tiime to do this as some things work and some do not so then I have to keep trying until it is right for me- I am not worried about perfect so much as workable-
859 balance from Wed. 35 minus (12 and 23) for two days __________________ 824 balance and total to date tossed is 177
I do say tossed although some of the things are give aways- I do not count them until they leave the house- (wink) I try to get any temptations gone asap

had a nice Saturday here a lot of maintaining and dusted my room and also continued decluttering and gave away or tossed 19 things( gone for good so that I can count) I am finding that I can now give more away than tossing==(more time to think and less dirty things) and it was so easy to dust my room today it is looking quite bright and merry now= I am also finding some nice surprises - rewards for my work _________________________________
824 balance 19 minus ________________ 803 balance
have a nice week end

WTG Meme!!! You're doing great!!! I saw your post about Papa's picture. I'm so happy for you and your daugters. What a great blessing. My sister is living in Florida, next door to what was going to be my mom and dad's retirement home. Last week she found a glove hidden under years of piled up leaves under a bush. It was my Dad's... He was tragically killed in an accident almost 9 years ago. Not quite as lovely as a picture, but it made us all smile to remember how he loved to work outside in yard. Hugs

between yesterday and today I got rid of 55 things - I did not have a lot of time to clear as Miss Sidney was on an overnight and also I am so tired and my side is hurting me- I am just fed with this stuff here and just took out 25 books that I was going to read some day which I got some time in the nineties and finally just took a step of tossing rather than trying to move them again- yikes- poor garbage man- anyway I will do my balance and start again tomorrow the hard thing is fitting in the time to clear and also maintain.
maintaining takes time when there is too much stuff as one is always moving something to get some where
803 balance 55 minus -------------- 748 balance to go away -

I will only update here once a week now that I have the ticker as it updates all the posts I make or ever made-- it may seem like a slow week for me but although I did not do a lot of tosses or give aways I did a lot of cleaning- and as soon as I finish the first cleaning I will go over everything again I am getting things together- that is combs with combs and nail clippers with nail clippers and as I do this I can see they are multiplying - so next clean I will down size these to a reasonable amount- I am tired this week and with being out last week I do have some catching up to do but I am not in a panic as I do feel I am making progress just to update- this is my every day garbage- this is stuff that got kept for one reason or the other- and the count is not all individual - that is I count a pile of magazines as one but there could be 5 or 6 magazines put that pile- I do not want to cheat because I am only cheating myself so if I know that the dog food can would have gone to garbage I do not count that- I think we we count regular garbage we are defeating our own reality - hugs and see you here next week--

Congratulations! I love your idea and determination. I saw a video of a woman who lived in one of those tiny homes and owned only 100 things!!! Let me tell you that has kept me up many nights! I have 100 things in my medicine cabinet alone , in each corner etc... I cannot even BEGIN to fathom that, but it is an idea. But starting with a number of items to get out of your space, that is one I can wrap my mind around (and shouldn't keep me up nights...) I am impressed!!!

still flinging and cleaning- have a lot of dust from the winter- I will continue this until I am done and then I will begin all over again- I can see it will take me more than one kick at the can but the main floor area is beginning to look good- once spring really gets here- there will be more that I can give away as I will be able to get out more- walking stuff down town to the thrift store is fine but I will not do that until the ice and snow is gone- no sense Meme falling down- hugs
