A Certain Kind of Decluttering
Sorry about Sunday, folks–the book that’s waiting to be reviewed had too much language for me to want to go there on the Sabbath. As for today, I’m just too poopered. This morning Britt came over and we put on a movie while she crocheted and I did some living room cleanout. (By the way, if you haven’t seen “Undercover Blues”, it’s an old favorite. Make time ASAP!) I drove kids around during the afternoon, and then I had to move things in my basement since my in-laws were bringing us a trickle-down dresser. I moved a few things back after they left–I’m going to actually go through the things, so it’ll be a slower process–and decided to dedicate one shallow drawer of the newly acquired dresser to our patterned duct tape collection (my oldest LOVES to make things with duct tape). In the process of emptying the overflowing drawstring bag into the drawer (not to mention corralling the loose escapees) I found at least four rolls that were down to the last bit of tape on the roll–as in, the last bit that’s taped to the cardboard and not at all functional for its intended use. Apparently it would have fit more nicely than I’d realized in the drawstring bag if the literal garbage had been removed earlier…
Sigh.
Ah, well. I think I’m designating a yarn drawer next. Have a good night all!
