On my journey of "Throwing Away 25 Things A Day" inspired by Fly Lady, I have no choice but to tackle the impossible. The Junk Drawer. More like Junk Drawers.
Twist ties
Spare keys to residences, mailboxes...secret mysterious lock boxes....uh huh
Rubber bands
Coins from countries I didn't even know we went to
Garage door openers to garages I don't know if we have ever opened
Parts part parts parts - to toys, electronics, gadgets, appliances....if thrown away - OMG what if I NEED the part?!?!?! What if that ONE PART I THREW AWAY is the part that would SAVE the APPLIIIIIIIAAAAANCE!!!
Listerine Breath Strips? Yuck
Floss for the day we actually START TO FLOSS
Screws, nails, washers....
Remotes....to what? The fear is the day we DO figure out what the remote was for, & don't have it because I threw it awaayyyyy!!!
THIS:
What the hell IS IT???!!! It looks IMPOOOORTAAAANT? If I throw it away, will we....BE DOOOMED???!!
Anyway, one of many good things that is coming out of this journey, is that once I start doing it, I can't stop. For instance, in the process of going through just ONE of our junk drawers this morning with the intention of only throwing away 25 Things, I have the need to completely clean the sucker out. It's a tough job but, well you know the rest. Btw, remind me to wear gloves next time! Yuuuuck!
Another favorable by-product of this glamourous journey, is that I am now on constant "junk alert". (This could counter my need to be more relaxed though).
All in all, it's all good. All.
If you weren't here for my LAST post, ANOTHER resolution I am making is to JUST POST, without proofreading a dozen times, obsessing, editing...& well never posting. So, expect everything but the best ;-)
At least there will BE something:-).
