Joan on the Road

It's been several seasons, maybe even years, since we did a good spring cleaning of cupboards and drawers to eliminate unused stuff. You would think in our small "house" we wouldn't have much space for unused stuff but believe me...it accumulates! Yesterday I went through my closets and wound up with two bags of clothing...one is holiday wear that can go to storage and come back next November. The other one goes to Goodwill.

So that was a start but it was tough. I know the rule is that if you buy a new shirt you get rid of an old shirt. Jeez...never did that :) Or if you haven't worn it for two years, get rid of it! But I really LIKE that old shirt...even if I don't wear it.

How can I nag at Jim to clean his closet if I can't do it on my own!!

Today I emptied out a few drawers and found a package of resistance training bands that I bought and for some reason tucked away. Guess I got non-motivated and hid them :) But they have no directions so I'll be searching the web for some training routine. I could add that to my Wii routine which I still need to get into the habit of doing. Oh Lord I am lazy.

But in my cleaning efforts I did find a Lost item. Several weeks ago my Printmaster program disc disappeared so I could no longer make greeting cards. I was really bummed and aggravated. How can something like that just disappear?? Yesterday in cleaning my wicker "junk drawer" I found the cd/jewel case stuck underneath the basket in the weaving. Now how could that happen??!! I was relieved to know that I had not thrown it away in a senior moment.

Now...what can I clean next?
