Welcome, Pam!
Yesterday I got all the Christmas stuff taken downstairs except for a garland I have to stand on the kitchen counter to take down. I worked on getting everything else back in the tubs so the tubs can go in the closet. I didn't go through any of it bc I put so little up this year that I didn't have much out or feel like getting it out. To be honest, now is not the best time for me to do that anyway bc I can't let go of anything remotely sentimental right now with the losses still so fresh. Today I got the living room back to its normal arrangement, dusted and vacuumed and got all the dragons back to their home in and on the entertainment center. I had to laugh at myself last night. I spent some time tidying up all my papers & journals & all that stuff bc I'm such a nester and have everything on the loveseat with me. I got done & stepped back to look at it. Yep it's tidy alright. Tidy clutter! :eyeroll:

yay Vantreesta!
i dropped off 3 large boxes of donations at Savers - clothing, books, knick knacks, old vhs movies. i looked around but didn't buy anything. i saw Janis Saffell's Beverly Hills Pilates, but decided to put it back on the rack. we cleared out an area in the sewing room for DS18 to put his new adjustable height desk that we got on sale at Costco. He just started freshman year in college and is doing virtual learning. the sewing room is my She Shed: has my sewing and craft supplies, my workout DVDs, i had a TV set up in there and DVD player, it has a file cabinet, etc. but my son needs a place to study - he was cramped into his room with a tiny table for his laptop. i got to see all of my DVDs together. i just have way, way, way too many.

Sounds like you were busy.. good job! Quote:
Maybe you need to condense like eventmom has. This week i purged a few that were in my purgatory but I still have a few more there. I just don't want to be hasty because some DVDs are not easy to replace...at least not at the price I would pay.
