unclutterIt's been a fairly unproductive period for a couple of weeks, but I do have a few things to report.
In a rummage through the dental drawer, trying to find my new toothbrush, I found 5 little tubes of toothpaste, purchased at some time for travel but never used. They are now laid out on the counter, and I am using the first one. No toothpaste will be bought until we are on the last of the 5 tubes. Sometimes putting stuff away results in accumulation. I also have a number of containers of dental floss; my dentist gives both of us one whenever we have our teeth cleaned, twice a year. I use some, but not at the rate they accumulate. I put them all in a clear plastic bag in the dental drawer, so when I finish one it is easy to find the next.
My efforts to move 500 books on continues. I keep count, but not a list of titles. February has 34 gone so far, and there are a few days left to decide about more.
Today I am engaged in another effort to clear surfaces where things - mostly paper - accumulate. This started because I am looking for a list of people who wanted to be notified of the next Books to Prisoners book sale. I saw the list about 10 days ago when I was sorting the usual paper accumulations, but I can't find in now. So I can look through the accumulations in about 6 places that have papers piled up. I am also tossing a number of them, or doing what needs doing and then tossing them. Procrastination also results in accumulation.
