unclutterI lived with roommates for about three years before moving back in with my parents, and accumulated quite a bit of stuff that I haven't seen for a year as it's been sitting in a storage unit since I moved back. But my sister's getting married on Saturday, which means she's moving out and clearing all of her stuff out of the storage unit. Which consequently means my parents want to clean everything out of the unit and get rid of it.
I've not very organized and rarely pick up after myself in my own room, and thus two or three times a year will end up cleaning, reorganizing, and tossing/donating a ton of stuff that I never remember I had in the first place. I finished this most recent "spring" cleaning last week and have a ton of stuff to donate/recycle, but wasn't anticipating needing to clear out room for more stuff coming in. *pouts*
As far as the pens are concerned, every time I "spring" clean I go through my pen-holders with every intention of clearing them out, but I always end up testing the pens to see if they write, and keep all of the ones with ink left that still work. I have pens that I acquired through some fashion ten years ago that I just can't manage to justify getting rid of to myself. :S
So, my total last week, Out: Three bags of clothing, two black bags of trash, a laundry basket each of recycling and items-to-be-shredded, a bag of bags (purses, backpacks, etc), two jewelry boxes, a variety of smaller boxes/containers, a large container, I think a lamp, and a number of other smaller items that various siblings walked off with in the process.
And this coming week, In: Whatever I have left in the storage unit, including but not limited to a drawing desk, a 20- or 30-pound stuffed English Bulldog I've had since I was fourteen, possibly a bookshelf?, and boxes of more books, DVDs/CDs, and potentially clothes.
