Thanks Unswamping! Today I filled 5 bags (33 gallon size) with contents from the large freezer in the pump house (empty now) and 2 bags with contents of the smaller refrigerator freezer. They are waiting outside with other bags of garbage from the Pump House sorting. For a dump run in a couple of days. Maybe even tomorrow if I get it together.

Wow that is amazing angela! Great job on getting that out and bagged. Another dump run does seem like its going to be necessary very soon.

I put things off of a table into empty bins and boxes. These were bins that I had emptied and a metal box that I had emptied. The goal was to clear the table. Some went into a box/bin that will be their new home. Others will be in other boxes temporarily.
It was nice to have 2 empty boxes to use. It is nice to have 9 square feet of clean space. It is nice to have the table out of the way in the family room and where it will give two things a home.
Today, I found a way to display my Brass door knobs from the hotel (and the ceramic sink knobs that say: Hot, Cold, Waste.) This falls under Beautification. I will have to find a clever way to use these that their words can be put to use.
I am thrilled that as I clear out the space. I am able to be more creative and find ways to use and display my other items that need homes - like my hula hoops. I like the knob idea - it is like BUTTONS for the walls! Beautiful and practical!
I am so glad that I bought a new Bucket and mop before I broke my wrist. I am able to mop the floor because it doesn't require hands to wring.
I hope to start tackling shop and drop bags. One of them I did get emptied.

Put away most of the shop and drop from saturday and yesterday. All the bags are emptied and put away. There are some stragglers, bigger items that didnt get bagged. Actually put some of the things to use already. Going to continue to chip away at it.

WOW!! angela I like big numbers too! Great job on getting things off to the dump!! Unswamping WELL DONE!! on putting away all those shop and drops!!! That is fantastic!!!! I KNOW how good that feels because I, today, brought in the groceries, put them away (2 bags), brought in the water gallon jugs, put them away, brought in my purchases from today, put them away. I was so proud of myself. Earlier, I also put away 2 shop and drop bags. And when my mom came in, I put away 2 bags of her groceries, yogurts, in the fridge.

Thanks angela !!! I am learning new habits. Since I am now wanting to find the door knobs and other knobs to use and display, I have to find them. This means looking through the boxes of things in different areas of the house. Last night, I found an entire box of sheet music books that I am going to donate - 8 like new condition music books with songs from the '50s and '60s. Someone will be thrilled to get those when they see them at the thrift store. It was nice to find one box I could donate in its entirety. For some unknown reason, I think it helps to "be looking for something" to go through and sort boxes. It will be fun to see how many things I can find to get release while I look for the Bathroom knobs and Brass knobs.

I got rid of my 2 big bins of old toys today! I made perfect thirds ~ keeper, donate, & trash. Who *ever* thought I'd donate my Lite Brite!? Or trash the broken piano!? My Barbie camper is safe inside the gun cabinet. Now to get to the last 6 bins on the porch, and the 4 in the doom room.
