So I'm on this "clearing out everything I don't need/use/want" kick that happens to be paired with a "I need organization!" kick. Basically this has resulted in me going crazy with trying to get rid of stuff and sorting and feelings of omg can't someone just make it all go away? It's okay, because I know I have a ton of stuff that I don't need, don't even use, and it's all just sitting there taking up space and collecting dust and making me more miserable than I already am.
I spent my morning cleaning, which felt so good. I put together another bag of clothes for Ally, as well as 2 pairs of cute shoes and some makeup/bath products, which I know will make her happy. And it makes me happy because now they are out of my house, and there is that much more space here for me to move around in. Space = good. Once all my laundry is finished and put away I'll force myself to pack up at least one more bag, because I have more clothes than I really need. I've aready gone through my books, and those of you who have known me a while would be shocked at how few books I actually own now. They can all fit into my tiny nightstand/bookcase, single row, without having to cram them in there.
I still need to go through my old college notes and organize them into binders, and clear out some of my dvd collection, and pack up all the papers and notes and postcards that I just can't part with into a shirt-sized giftbox. And then of course there's backing up my photos onto cds, packing up my photos until I can scan them onto my computer, and emptying a box or two from my old bedroom. Slowly, but surely, I'm getting it all done.
Another great note from the day: I managed to get to buy something like 8 Polly Pocket toys for Toys for Tots today for $2.09 each at Toys R Us, because I'm just that amazing. Well, that and the fact that they were on sale 30%, and I printed a million coupons from Mattel for $5 off any Polly Pocket toy. I put aside a set amount for that charity every year, and I'm going to try and stretch it as far as I can this year. =)
