This is the only way I can feel any success with the daunting projects. Drawer by drawer, shelf by shelf, box by box,

I am setting some decluttering goals for 2022. So far I have:
Donate smthg to the thrift store each month Read and donate 6 books for the year (I don't get to read often and many by favorite authors I want to keep, so this is to motivate me to read ones I don't plan to keep) Finally get the spare room of dumping usable again and keep it that way, which will require finding better ways to store my yarn Get my clothes and shoes organized and under control Before each monthly big grocery trip, clean out fridge and pantry

Vantreesta, I need to do your last one. I took inventory of my freezer and pantry and made a list. I vowed to try and cook from what I already have and just fill in produce, milk, eggs and bread as necessary for as long as possible.

The pantry usually stays pretty organized but right now the baking stuff and my teas are pretty chaotic. Too much of both, I'm sure. The teas keep falling out when I pull out that drawer.

Well this conversation about the refrigerator....my son stayed with me for 2 weeks as his car was being worked on. My refrigerator is not very big so it doesn't take much to fill it up. Well one day he decided there was not enough room for all of his "health drinks" so he cleaned out my refrigerator and threw away all my "expired" stuff. Then he text me a picture. I was like "wait, what...no, that is not expired..that isn't either...bring me back my mustard." Where as I appreciated the gesture, he threw away a lot of stuff, mostly condiments, that probably wasn't expired. Then he had plenty of room for his health drinks.
I wish I had a freezer. My freezer is really small and doesn't hold much. I don't have a pantry either. So I can't really store that much in my kitchen which maybe is a good thing. If I don't get back here, everyone have a joyful, healthy, clutter free, Holiday season.
