Today was busy with cleaning up the house in preparation for the repainting. My wife is getting rid of old photo albums and I’m scanning the photos, to clear up space.
I pulled out everything from under the bed and there was a ton of dust on shoe boxes with old pairs of shoes in them I tossed a few and kept a few, which I’m refreshing so I can start wearing them in rotation with other pairs of shoes. I’m vowing not to just store them any more, but to actually wear them.
I also took a bunch of stuff out for the fortnightly council household waste collection. This is different from weekly garbage collection – it’s intended for items like furniture, furnishings, and so on, rather than kitchen waste and packaging. I threw out our old kitchen garbage bin, the fluorescent light that I removed from the wall when the new downlights went into the ceiling, the old laundry basket, and also a corkboard which has graced our kitchen wall for over 20 years, but we decided to get rid of.
So, basically a lot of cleaning and tossing stuff away.
