If you are following my progress in cleaning house, I have discovered at one point in my life, that I had been binder crazy. I cleaned out my 7th binder of papers today. Most of them were from my Travel Agent studies from long ago. In fact, I had held onto them for more than 18 years. I must have thought that I should keep them in case I would go back to that kind of work.
I have filled a 18-gallon tote with papers to burn. It's amazing how much "stuff" is around here that can go. I gave my husband a job last night and, it too, involved paper. And a bunch of magazines. We should have a big bonfire to celebrate getting all of the cleaning done too.
I just washed up 2 more rugs for storage (next winter), and did some more deep cleaning on some shelves. It feels so much better to walk into our bedroom now. I'm not finished, but with one area at a time, it will be soon.
It's a good thing that the weather is too chilly to be working in the yard today. I am finding little areas that I can spot clean and toss items from. I emptied another 18-gallon tote from the garage, and cleaned two more book shelves. I donated 4 more items to the library also. I also gave some items away free. Phew!
