weekend check-in

[rmc28]

Hi all, it's been a while. Today's check in is brought to you by me finally finally doing a reorganisation of the living room furniture that I've had in mind for literal years. This was not strictly a decluttering exercise but I ended up doing some along the way. (Because I am a nerd who has done too many projects, there were many cries of "NO SCOPE CREEP" as I made myself stop sorting out a shelf that wasn't on the critical path.) And now I have things I should try to move out the house over the weekend.

I'll ramble in more detail in the comments, please join in with your own goals for the weekend, large or small!

Today was a good day for progress on a bunch of little things!

Last night I sold the mountain bike that has been sitting in my garage for years!

This morning I took 4 fluorescent light bulbs from my kitchen light fixture that I replaced a YEAR ago - and finally got rid of them - in addition to 9 old paint cans that the previous owners of this house left for me when I moved in - almost 13 years ago now. I've never needed this extra paint - and when I finally opened them up to see what I had, none of the paint was still any good, nor was it any of the paint colours that I actually need to touch up!

And then I also filled my car up with 2 old desktop pcs, and 3 monitors and dropped them off at the local e-waste place!

I still have more stuff to do, but I'm feeling like I made a bit of progress today!

Hurrah for excellent progress!

Wow, the sale of the mountain bike is a huge victory, yay! So happy to hear you made it happen. :D

Sounds like a great use of time off, I love finally getting rid of broken light bulbs and paint etc electronics, too. What a lot of progress for one weekend. :D

The paint and lightbulbs ended up being so easy, that I'm kicking myself for not looking it up earlier! I assumed that I would have to drive 30 minutes away to the transfer station - and they had weird hours and I just kept putting it off!

AND - bonus - I talked to a friend on Friday and she is interested in the exercise bike that is ALSO in my garage and needs to go! I've posted it all over - for free - with no takers - so if she does take it next week, that will be FABULOUS

Yeah, I am familiar with things taking much less time than anticipated and me kicking myself for not getting it done earlier. But oh well. Hopefully, next time will be easier and faster now knowing how quick it actually is! ;-)

Wooow, that would be so cool if your friend were to take that exercise bike! Keeping my fingers crossed that she wants it and is able to get it quickly. :D
