Totals 6/13-6/19

I am SO impressed with myself. Of course, currently our (mine and my partner's) space is a mess of boxes and desks strewn with computer parts in preparation for room reorganization. But we've still moved a LOT of stuff out of the house, and I have to say keeping a running tally is really motivating. (Plus I think twice before buying something, because I'll have to add it to the "IN" section of my spreadsheet and that affects my totals.)

I have to say that freecycle has really helped. That and deciding that I don't need to keep all of my research notes for my honors thesis and various other major research projects that I did. I basically emptied the drawer of one filing cabinet, which means I can put journals in it or something. Because I am keeping those.

I'm also really excited because I'm finally going to get a craft table. Where I can leave projects out and not worry about not being able to use my computer. Or I can shove them to one side and write write write, OR I can go to our handy docking station (still in progress) and plug my netbook in there. So excited for this to be finished. :)

And I just got a new email from another freecycler, which means I may be getting rid of some more things...I'm not adding them to my list until they actually leave the house. (Otherwise I end up with piles of boxes in the hallway "for Goodwill," hoping some magic fairy will take them there for me.)s\

Wow!! I'm so impressed - you've gotten rid of a ton of stuff!

I know, and there is more! How did I have so much stuff? Where did it all go? Particularly books. It seems like I have an eternal well of books...but at least they all fit on my bookshelf now!

Thanks for the words of encouragement.
