Good day

Sunday turned out to be a pretty good day. I hadn’t realized how good until I was writing in my journal last night.

Since Saturday had been one of those days where I couldn’t seem to make a decision, I’d left all the items I’d pulled out from the cabinet lying around the kitchen floor. I hemmed & hawed over the fondue pot and some bowls and platters. I finally made the decision to let go of them, and had even moved them over to the give-away pile.

I was much more clear-headed on Sunday. I took the few things I wanted to keep and put them back in the cabinet. Holy cow! I had tons of room left over. So what did I do? I retrieved the fondue pot and dishes. I’m sure the professional organizers are cringing, but I’m ok with the decision for now. I did realize I need to move the crock pot into this cabinet, and that will take up a bit more room, but I think I’ll still have room for everything to be organized and easy to get to.

I think part of what scared me on Saturday is the sheer amount of stuff in the give-away pile. And it’s only going to continue to grow. I’m a bit worried about getting everything into the car, since I live on the top floor of a walk-up condo. But if I take down 2 or 3 loads a week, I should be able to keep up without having too many boxes lying around.

Oh, and I didn’t procrastinate about changing the bed linens, I finished my loads of laundry, including folding and putting away.  (Well, except for the towels that are still in the dryer.  But they’re dry and they’ll be easy to fold and put away tonight.)  Like I said, it was a good day.
