Days 270-271
In:
20 books since the start of the year (est.)
4 Xbox games, ditto
5 assorted techie gegaws, ditto
1 pair sweatpants
1 pair shorts
1 pair swim trunks
4 shirts
Out:
2 teacups and saucers put on consignment
2 mugs
1 dead Xbox, RIP
1 ancient Ethernet card, still in its box and shrinkwrap
30 (est.) books
50 (est.): six trash bags of papers and other assorted detritus... I'm counting these as 50, though I'm sure there was way more, as most of the stuff was small items
Because I haven't been tallying my husband's In items, I'd initially thought that I shouldn't tally the things of his that have gone out, either. (And there have been a lot of those. That spare room I've been cleaning out is mostly full of his stuff.) But I don't know. I mean, in the last few weeks, we have thrown out four trash bags of assorted junk and have two more that he just has to take down to the dumpster (those suckers are heavy), plus filled up most of a file box with books to donate. That cleaning project has been eating up a lot of my energy, and I was starting to really feel unhappy at the prospect of not getting to count it.... so I've just started. I'm making a wild guess as to numbers, but not counting these things was really bothering me. It was like I had this big huge invisible pile of crap leaving my home, but I couldn't talk about it here. And this group is supposed to be all about talking about it, right?
So... yeah.
Also, I'm tired. And tired of being tired, if you know what I mean.
