Wednesday I cleaned out both bedside tables in the master bedroom.  To my surprise Jeff’s was almost empty.  Mine not so much.  I found even more freaking lotion bottles in there.  What the heck!

I also tried to tackle the hall linen closet.  It is literally stuffed full.  See pic.

I was able to totally clean one shell before my time ran out.  Babies steps.  Found a brand new shower curtain liner and curtain rings that I forgot I had.  Hung them up and threw out the old stuff.

New rule:  While cleaning out places I make sure I dispose of or find a new home for unwanted items rather than placing them someplace else in the house only to pile up again.  I have designated one of the spare bedrooms as the holding place for all things headed out of the house that I can’t remove right away.  Right now there is a pile to bring to Lisa’s and one for Ashley to grab next time she comes out for a visit.

Things removed from my life Wednesday:  Two throw pillows, wall scones, cloth shower curtain, two sets of twin sheets with matching comforters ……..all given away.  A large bag filled with mismatched sheets and pillow cases went out to the trash.

280 Days and counting (as of today – Thursday).
