Today I was a little sore not to mention tired from lugging furniture down the stairs and out to the car and got rid of so much stuff yesterday that I only cleaned off my overloaded dresser throwing stuff out as I went along.

I’ve come to think the reason that I (and many people) have so much stuff is because we are so tired we don’t put it away, then pile more crap on top of it, then are even more tired so end up buying new stuff just so we don’t have to spend more energy looking through the pile of crap to find what we want.  Am I right?

That is exactly what happened with the dresser.  We traveled so much this summer that when we would return home I’d pile stuff on the dresser from the trip being too tire to deal with it at that point, only to pile more stuff on top of it after the next trip.  Trips are exhausting.  Besides…..who wants to clean anything after they just got back from an exhausting relaxing vacation?

After the dresser, in my sitting on the bed resting mode I decided I’d remedy my email problem.  I started unsubscribing to the millions of newsletters and advertisements that inundate my two email boxes every day with the hopes that by summer 2017 I will hardly get any email.  I’ll let you know if that actually works.

Things removed from my life today:  One small bag of trash from the top of the dresser.  Hey!  It’s something.

Look how pretty the dresser top looks now!
