Flotsam and Jetsam = 377

This is being given
to someone special;
but it still counts

Sometimes, I find the weirdest stuff floating around the house.  I cannot figure out why I kept it, because it doesn't work, it is trash, it no longer has the thing it came with, or it has no sentimental meaning.

I suppose the following can be called jetsam, instead of flotsam;  because I am jettisoning it from my little ship of a home.

Leftover Drawer Liner

I need to feel lighter in my life, whether I stay here for the rest of it or move on someday.  And I would say, "I am getting there."

I'm so glad this is only a
pottery broken heart.

The furniture sliders never
stayed in there anyway.

Not needing name tags anymore.
Definitely easily replaceable.

These glasses won't help
anyone here anymore.

Doesn't fit anything.

Not needed.

Broken

Don't even live in that house now.

I'm so tired of finding places this does not work for me.
Fits the category of easily replaceable.

Going for 400. Why not?

Sometimes, you feel like you are just slogging along trying to get the clutter out.  Your body cries out, because you didn't sleep enough;  however, your mind says, "I can do this one thing before I lie down.  

First, you see my expected pieces of clutter.
The very last one was unexpected:  cleaning as I go.

The books were expected.
 However, the frame
and grocery bag were
not planned.  I just
knew they were not
worth dealing with.

Taking Care of the Clutter as I Discover It

My favorite nail clipper--unrepairable--trash!

"Taking care of the clutter as I discover it, probably sounds a little odd."  However, I assure you it is not odd in the least; because, after I have covered a table, making it a mess; or, I have filled a basket with odds and ends, I later discover treasures and trash while I clean up my mess.  My treasures I put away or I display them;  and, the trash goes right out of the house.  And, since my clutter is not all trash but much of it is treasure I don't need, I donate it.

Trash and there is a whole other bag!

You may not have expected to see anything from this blog until the New Year;  however, I 
decided I need to keep recording as I declutter. I want to get this stuff out of the house now, not wait until the New Year.  
358 Items Decluttered  since March 2013.

Good Tidings to you as you prepare for Thanksgiving and Christmas. 

Blessings,
