Last week I pulled down the box full of planners I store in my closet, just to have a look through them.
And I thought "What if I didn't keep these? What bad thing would happen?" And I had another epiphany: holding onto these planners is like holding onto the past.
I sat in my office with the recycle bin and shredder on one side and the planners on the other side. (Some of the planners had info in them that needed to be shredded.)
The comically large wreath on my door. It didn't seem this huge in the store; it is a big pop of color, for sure. I just wanted something colorful, on sale, with no crafting on my part. I got it.
Another round of purging and more things I don't want. I reserved a bulky pick up with City of Austin and got Bubbie to help me haul it all to the street. In another donation pile I still have: a steel table, BBQ charcoal, a microwave, camp coffee pot, and a silver tray. I don't want money for them. I simply want them out of my life. I'm going to find people to offer those to.
I bought myself some new flannel sheets. They are silky soft and soothing, the perfect color, and were on sale. We are currently experiencing warm weather in Austin, but I know that February usually brings us a bit of icy weather. I will be snug and ready.
What's the first thing you do when you bring home a rotisserie chicken? I eat the drums almost immediately! Then I portion and store the rest, making stock with the bones. HEB now has these for $4.97 and I had to grab one up for some easy meals. Next week I will not post menus, and I am figuring it all out. I feel like a college kid who just got her first kitchen - what do I feel like eating? Besides rotisserie chicken, that is!
