Another lackluster month of decluttering. I really need to get my poop together and get things sorted and out the door. Also, need to work on a few projects which will help get some clutter gone as well!

Anyway for May was sable to get rid of the following:

1 partial notepad - used up
1 partial roll of landscape fabric - used up

4 carpet remnants - trashed

1 shirt - returned to store

I haven’t made much progress in my house, but I’m proud of my progress in my classroom. I’ve been in my current grade level/classroom for 6 years. I’m deep cleaning my cabinets, shelves, etc. and giving serious consideration to what I should keep. My goal is to get rid of anything I haven’t used in the past 6 years. At times, I struggle because I’m afraid next year will certainly be the time I need the item Some things have been trashed, but others have gone to students, other teachers, and Goodwill. Unfortunately, the “free house” at the former landfill is gone, so I can’t put things there anymore.

9/40 times of rehoming items

Checked off decluttering on 4/7 days last week - including the "junk drawers" in the hutch.

Lately, there is not enough motivation for such things... I hope I can handle this and get down to business.

I cleaned out the linen/bathroom closet this week. I haven't been counting things, but I filled a whole grocery bag with things to toss, plus a couple larger items. I rehomed several things to other people in my family (I kind of feel like ComicGuy who is always rehoming things to their sons house

I'm currently helping with some decluttering at my dad's. (The only problem is, some of it is coming to my house! ) But we definitely put a lot in the yard sale pile today too.

Back home now, and inspired!

They're going from two homes (as "snowbirds") down to one, so a big part of their task is getting rid of legitimate duplicates, but there was a lot of "why did I save this in the first place" going on as well, and I intend to take a lesson from that! I did bring back certain sentimental items, but I'm on a roll of getting rid of stuff, so I plan to more than make room for them by clearing out here.

DH's Lodge is having a flea market next month, so I'll have the chance to pass on plenty of things I no longer use to happy new owners. I sorted through two boxes of old picture frames and stuff this morning, and I plan to keep the momentum going.

I was even so in the mood to "lighten up" that I went through my nail polish after lunch and threw away old clumpy colors!

DH and I have spent many, many hours over the last month cleaning out the garage. Even though both cars fit, there was a ton of old stuff that was taking up so much room it was hard to walk around the cars. It all started with me wanting to replace his father's old Craftsman work bench that was so rusted at the bottom that it actually collapsed when we finally moved it. Well one cabinet led to another and then another and then... New Husky cabinets replaced the Craftsman plus several old white kitchen cabinets from a prior remodel. Tons of old rusty tools, nails, screws, etc. and metal tool boxes from his father (who died in 2000!) and made the move here with us are finally out the door. Also gone is a lot of unneeded wood scraps, molding and more. We still have a bit more to go through and put away. Added some old rakes, shovels, two extension ladders that were wobbly and a broken lawn mower to the pile. Also went down to our 5' crawl under the house where we brought up the rest of the old white cabinets (saved just in case we decided to use those in the garage someday), unused shutters and almost 2 dozen old paint cans, many pretty full. Those have to be hardened before we dispose of them. We're getting a dumpster in another week or two and all of this stuff will go. Feels good but boy are we tired.
