Just another day

Today was just another day, meaning nothing out of the ordinary happened. A quiet, yet nice day.

After taking Marvin to dialysis, I came home and started sorting boxes, I am really in a cleaning mood lately, it may not seem like it but I have got rid of a lot of stuff, some to give away to Goodwill, some to dump and some to recycle -meaning having a new life in my closet.

I am not a hoarder by any means, especially not a hoarder like in the TV show, but I tend to sometimes keep a lot of stuff for no apparent reason other than because I can.

Example number 1 - pencils, pens etc. I have oodles of them, and yet I cannot find one when I need it. I have a whole plastic box full of them, plus assorted containers  around the house. I went through the tedious job of trying the pens and dumping the ones that don't work anymore. The ink dries! I was left with a lot more pen and pencils than I need and yet I can't seem to want to throw perfectly good pens and pencils away.

Example number 2 - Clothes and shoes. I still have one or two things I brought with me from Spain when I came to the States over 40 years ago (can they be considered vintage)? However a few weeks ago I got rid of 14 pairs of shoes, many of them still new, and a couple sackful of clothes. But still I have much left that needs to be sorted, again!

Example number 3 - Miscellaneous. That's the pile where everything goes that I don't know what to do with them and don't belong in any category (bad grammar I know). Mainly things of sentimental value, only to me :)

It's almost a never ending task.
