Once I got started, the closet job was not bad at all. I ended up finishing it all up this morning with no fuss.
Things were jumbled up a bit in there and looked worse than they really were.
But I DO have a Cube Booty load of stuff for Goodwill. I should go out and deliver it today, as the weather people say we will be having several days of rain on and off starting tomorrow.
I have banished the dogs to the sunny back yard today. After vacuuming the whole house and having to empty the dirt catcher two times, I decided they could shed their hair into the great outdoors for a change.
Now I shall turn my attention to the kitchen. The laundry room has already been gone over and de-cluttered to the point where there are actually empty areas of shelving.
I have to say, all this clearing out is having an effect on my mental clarity too. It is restful to the eye and the mind to look at clear spaces in a room. Not barren mind you, but clear. I still have pleasant objects to look at here and there. But they aren't crammed together in a jumble now. And I can find what I'm looking for pretty quickly too.
I forgot to mention that last week I re-reached my Weight Watchers lifetime goal [within two pounds] and am no longer going to have to pay for meetings! I plan on attending for some time to come as I would like to lose a little more for "insurance". I have to say it. Weight Watchers ROCKS!
So not only is the clutter being banished from my house, it's also been banished from my person.
It's all good.
