Its a whole new world.

I went back to work and tossed out Ops manual updates. I'm such a rebel.
Now really, who is going to read it? Lol

~~~

Several sets of sheets and pillow cases plus lots of towels & wash cloths of all sizes that'll be donated to a worthy cause.

Items I got rid of were old expired medicines, half used tubes of toothpaste and other oral items way past their "used by date", several hotel size travel items, unopened bars of soaps that I no longer fancy (I only use Original Irish Spring these days), and a shit ton of other junk!

I did come across an unopened item, one of those torturous eyelash curlers thingy, which baffles the heck out of me! How that came into my possession I have no idea! Needless to say it found a new home in one of Mary's bathroom drawers!

Today it was going through the garage and getting rid of the very few tools I own. I am not handy when it comes to fixing things and when it comes to tinkering with cars, I know even less!

These tools were mainly duplicates that Mary already owns so I don't see any point in keeping them and no doubt will donate them to Goodwill.

Lightening my load has created such a freeing sensation........I highly recommend it

Yesterday I got rid of a lot of cash in Seattle but what the hell, like they say, "you can't take it with you"...

Today I got rid of some worry by sharing some of my dental fears with my son. He told me if I'm afraid of something he wants me to let him know, not try and hide it. He'll go with me to my appointment for emotional support and – Mom don't worry. Sure I get cranky sometimes, we all do, but I love you, you aren't a burden to me. We'll get through this, it's going to be A okay.

My local library has a “book nook” for local residents to buy inexpensive books for readers of every age. And to help further their cause, I donated every book I’ve ever bought from Powell’s Bookstore and gave back to my local community.

I basically got rid of another household chore (dusting down my book collection).

Binders of old paperwork. Paperwork that I wanted to keep I scanned to an external HD before shredding.

A rider lawn mower that hasn't run in 5 or 6 years, a brand new post hole digger that went with my tractor but was never used and misc items (ok trash) in my downstairs garage. I sold the post hole digger for a song but it freed up space in my barn as did the rider mower which I gave away. How in hell does so much stuff get accumulated?

I got rid of some negative energy that was living rent-free in my brain.

As part of my "de-slobification" process (I love "A Slob Comes Clean" over on YouTube and her books), I got rid of several lid-less Tupperware containers and bottom-less lids. I was rationalizing that "the container will turn up" or "But Tupperwares make such good organizers!". Nope. Out.

For the rest of them, I put the lids on their containers and voila, an organized cupboard.
