Mid-week checkin

It's been a while since I've had the oomph to engage with this community, which is a shame, because you are a great bunch of people, and I get motivated to go and deal with Stuff! by reading what you have all found to declutter.

So! On that note: what have you achieved in the declutter sphere? Have you done a tiny thing? Something marvellous and magical that has transformed your life? Made a plan but haven't yet carried it out? Tell us, tell us!

Comments open to locals, lurkers, drive by sticky beaks, and anyone I've forgotten to mention.

Out and about using different routes.

Just put an old mobility walker out near our driveway. Whether someone takes it before the city collects it is up for grabs.

We’re planning on selling our vehicle on Saturday since Mom no longer wishes to drive and I’ve never wanted to. Why add to the amount of poor drivers on the road? Granted, this means we’ll have quite a few automotive items to clear from the garage. Hey, finally making more of a dent actually cleaning it out. Can’t wait. #soon

Oh, also recycled old public transportation schedules. Yes, some of us prefer the physical copies.

Edit: Removed newsprint such as photos of local championship teams I’ve taped to the walls. Will go through my dresser drawers at some point.

Lots of great things there! And being able to get rid of the car / live without it is a great way to unclutter.

And yet we have doubts.

Mom’s decided to hang on to the car until we’ve found a new place to live.

That does sound sensible. I imagine that there are parts of the house hunting and moving processes that will be easier with a car.
