Purge Thursday: Actual Trash

Filed under Purge Thursday by at 8:19 pm on Nov 19 2009

Right now my energy for organizing freecycle or going to the thrift store is nil, so I looked around the home office here and found a mess of clutter, like, can’t even access the shelves in here clutter. It’s a big job but for a start:

  • A tote bag a friend made me in 1995 that is full of moth eaten holes.
  • Anything in the tote bag because I haven’t looked at it in years.
  • Empty DVD spindles.
  • A massive excess of pre-used file folders.
  • Phone books, god, why?
  • Boxes for electronics – computer speakers, network switches, the like.
  • A decorative collection of fortunes from cookies.

It’s frustrating that I let this stuff accumulate.

Unfortunately I also acquired some stuff today. CDs. I couldn’t find digital copies!

    The phone books show up on my front stoop and I carry them through the house, out the back door and dump them into the paper recycling. I wish there was some way to opt out of receiving them.
