mid-week uncluttering

What have you found to rehome today?

I've sent off two parcels - one full of books, and one full of collectibles that were doing little but collecting dust. They will be appreciated by the recipients, and I have a clear patch on my 'to be rehomed' shelf (which I created as a space only a few weeks ago, and am appreciating). I also did a first pass through my LPs, selecting about 1/4 to leave. I need the rest of the household to go through and confirm, and I probably want to do a second pass through the shelf. I've also moved them to a different bit of furniture, in preparation for the previous one leaving. I'm using it as temporary storage for something else, but I'll get there. As these already have a recipient (a collector who will take them all, sight unseen) I'm pretty sure those will be leaving the house relatively easily, just as soon as my collector friend gets back to me.

I did my LPs in 2017 and probably got rid of half. I had inherited quite a few and also was good about raiding garage sales/thrift shops and had tons I'd gotten for a quarter and listened to maybe once. Definitely freed up some space. I didn't get much in trade at the record shop, but I do know one of the tapes I got with it spent about six months on repeat in my car, so... seems like a good deal. I still need to go thru 7" singles at some point, but those aren't such a space-hog.

Other than that, I've started going through my closet again and I've already picked out three shirts that are very clear 'never going to wear this again' items, plus one nightshirt that fits oddly.

I need to offer up some of the piles of books I've decided can go. Just low on mental energy right now.

Nice work on the closet decluttering! I hope you have some more mental energy soon to tackle the books.

Thank you!

In a fit of 'I'm sick of tripping over these', I offered up the books to my f-list and they're half-gone already. \o/ So I'll be able to go through more, hopefully, over the weekend.

Oooh -- that's awesome news about the books. :-)
