1000 Item Challenge Day Twelve

Good sized haul today! It's so funny - some days I feel like I just can't find a thing to discard and it seems like I can't downsize anymore (which is ridiculous because I seriously still own SO MUCH STUFF GUYS), other days it's so easy to see what I'm not using and no longer need.

Telephone (more on this after the listing)
Extra toilet siphon
Broken post cap from front porch
2 blurry photos
2 separate pieces of paperwork
Cat in the Hat toy my cats destroyed
Lid from a coffee grinder I threw out years ago (for reals)
Extension rod from a Swiffer I threw out years ago (GUYS)
Check register
Washer
Cap of some sort
Coupon that expired in 2013 (LOL)
Patch Attack packaging
Foil tape from fixing dryer exhaust
Bobby pin
Telephone cord

I also bit the bullet, called Spectrum, and removed telephone service. (Biting the bullet in that last time I attempted this a couple years ago they literally had me hanging up in frustration [this was back when they were Time Warner]. )

Kudos to the awesome rep I spoke to this time who did it with zero pushback, told me I'd be saving $40 a month, AND is shipping me a new modem since mine is so out-of-date. ) This is why I'm getting rid of the phone. I originally had it because my old job paid for a landline for work (I'm a telecommuter) but it hasn't been covered in two years, and even with the new job, my cellphone is just fine. Ten minutes on the phone and I'm saving almost $500 a year.

Today's Total: 18 + 1 bonus point for cancelling service (it IS an item in a way): 19

Overal Total: 168

1000 Item Day 57 - Back from Ironman

Hello! The past two weeks were too crazy to do more than just throw the occasional item in the "get rid of" pile. Not only was I getting ready for Ironman, I had two huge projects thrown on my plate at work, I had to take a day trip to Boston, AND I had to spend a weekend sherpa-ing my boyfriend through a race of his own. Phew! So glad I'm going on vacation in a couple weeks - I need it! Anyway, back to the grind, at least until I leave for Seattle. This is so much a "haul from today" as catching up on stuff I piled up. This week I'm hoping to get back into the groove with decluttering and create that capsule wardrobe. Pajama shorts Running singlet Running dress Mason jar Contacts case 2 Paint stirrers 2 Pieces of paperwork Running hat 2 Screws Today's Total: 12 items Overall Total: 712 items

1000 Item Challenge Day 41

Another day scrounging around for that ten-item minimum, but got it done.: Race bib (I usually keep these but I actually won an award and already have the plaque on the wall.) Newspaper (Yes, it was cool to keep the paper from the Sox's first World Series win in over 80 years, but...I never even look at it. Maybe this makes me a bad Bostonian, but out it goes.) 3 Photos 2 Screws (Really scrounging the bottom of that formerly overflowing Junk Drawer that was stuffed with hardware.) Jewelry...bag, I guess you'd call it? Hoodie Pendant Today's Total: 10 items Overall Total: 520 items
