RE: What's everyone up to right now?

Taking a break from preparing the kitchen for pest treatment on Tuesday. I have to empty all the cabinets and countertops. Fortunately I had a shelving unit I wasn't using that I could set up in the bedroom. Last time I did this, I piled everything on folding tables in the living room, which ended up blocking the window, for which I got cited for clutter.

They're tearing up the street on my side of the building. I have the windows open because the A/C is out. I thought that I'd sleep in this morning, but no such luck.

Going through my closets to get rid of a lot of unnecessary junk. Might try to get a buck or two with a yard sale

Getting ready to actually leave the house to run a couple errands I have been putting off...but I don't want to...there are people out there.

I’ve always been something of a pack rat. Throwing stuff away frequently necessitates a shopping trip.
Me: ‘Good lord, why do I still have [item]? I’ll never use this. Out it goes!’
Me, two weeks later: ‘What the hell did I do with [item]? I saw it just a couple of weeks ago…Oh, right. Dammit.’
Me, two weeks and one day later: ‘Good morning! I’m looking for [item]. Do you have that in stock?’

This stuff I can say safely, I'm never using. EG: A mahjong set I never used. I think I wanted to try it, but couldn't find enough people for a full game.

I'm reviving something my father used to say. If you haven't used it in six months, throw it out. (With exceptions, of course.)

If you aren't able to sell the mahjong set, it might be a nice gift for a retirement home.

I'm part of a Facebook group called 'Free Stuff Long Island'; anytime I can't sell anything I post it there for anyone to pick up.

Back home @ 1am after a late-ish connection from DFW. I always have difficulty sleeping after flying.
