Map to the Simple Life

Remember my rule of not buying more stuff?  I broke it.  I was watching QVC this morning……I never watch things like that but I was testing one of the electronics and needed the TV for something.   They were selling a Shark handheld vacuum.  It could suck up billiard balls!  After two minutes of watching their pitch I was sold.  I didn’t call in.  No time for that.  Went online and bought a red one.  Took me all of another 2 minutes.  It arrives next Tuesday.

I know what you are thinking.  I just added to my pile of junk but the way I look at it I’m planning for the future.  The RV has a central vacuum so my big Dyson (that I love) won’t be needed but I’ll need something to vacuum all those little places (something small)……and as I’ve been cleaning out all the junk in my life I’ve come across a lot of dust in tiny places that could easily be sucked away with a (small) Shark Handheld vacuum!

I moved on feeling disgusted with myself yet convincing myself I did the right thing.

The linen closet remained untouched as I went through recharging and checking on all the old electronics I’d gathered from yesterday.

I came across a stack of unlabeled DVD’s from the DVD video recorder and of course had to watch them.  That chewed up a couple hours.  I needed to make sure the sex video we had made a long time ago wasn’t hiding on one of the DVD’s.  Hahahaha.

I felt like I hadn’t accomplished much so I clean the top shelf of the master bedroom closet.  Got rid of some things to go to charity so the day wasn’t a total loss.

Things removed from my life: A few old pocket books, a stack of old t-shirts – donated to charity.

274 Days and counting.
