Mar. 16th From office/junk room. 1 magazine 1 piece of mail 8 D batteries Heavy Boom box set by back door... I don't know that I can just toss this in the dumpster. It may require a special pick up. Old baby gate that we used to block dogs out of different sections of the house is broken & will be tossed, too. Again, same dilemma. Can't jus put it in our little dumpster--I don't think. put it by the back door, too.

10 bags of trash taken to outside can About 50 clear plastic bags from clothes that had been saved to use for shreds to be recycled. The city no longer accepts shreds. So, forgot about all these bags... some were in bags others were on the floor. Pretty tin. Some dead bugs. Eww. Some papers/catalogs
4 bags/boxes recyclable papers, etc. to outside can

3 magazines passed on
1305
These were nice quality magazines passed on by my sister. I was very happy to receive them as they are costly and interesting and I would not buy at the grocery store. I flipped through them and put them next to my bed to read later- later never came! they were becoming a burden to me… I thought about recycling but it seemed like such a waste. Now I have a relative recuperating from surgery and unable to be mobile yet. I passed them on and she was quite happy to get them. Phew. The hidden lives of magazines : )

I need to up my game to 6-7 items a day to make the 2021 goal. I mostly only have hard items left- items that have been kept from many decluttering sessions. Or paperwork which is not necessarily hard but is very time- consuming. I do want to make the goal !! and in time I usually end up making it in February

Wow, cando! You've been decluttering all along. saffron bree ausmel1 I think I might have done a few things that are listed on paper, but apparently that paper pad is buried under paper! I'll be back in a day or two.
