I've been cleaning and sorting the basement storage space, prepping to finish it into an office. It sure pays to clean. I found a Target gift card from 2003 with $25 still left on it (verified with Target), I posted my old camera on ebay at 11 a.m. and it's already sold for $85, and I posted my old clarinet on craigslist for $25, and someone just came to buy it. I haven't played it in almost 20 years. So, off to a better home.

I also posted all of my vintage sewing patterns for sale on etsy, in giant lots of 50 or more. Hopefully they will sell, but there seem to be a lot out there not going for much.

I also freecycled a broken dehumidifier, and put two recycling bins full of paper out to the curb. it feels nice to get rid of stuff. I just am to the point where I don't want it or need any extras clinging to me anymore.
