1000 Item Challenge Day 74

The clearout of large items continues - last night our neighbor snatched up the grill only half an hour after we put it outside. This morning I posted my old bike frame and boom - mailing it to a friend. The reaction as I give away these large items has been interesting - they're all going to good homes with people truly excited to own them (whereas they've been literally gathering dust and cobwebs here), yet everyone's like, "WHY AREN'T YOU TRYING TO SELL THEM?!?!" Seeing the happiness on people's faces is MORE than worth it, especially for items I haven't even been using.

Anyway, here's the bike frame:

And today's small-item haul:

Bike kit (Counting this as two items - bibs and jersey)
Stickers
3 MORE Mardi Gras beads
Smoke alarm (been needing to fix the hallway one for years - wiring issue)
Paper cups
Tech running shirt
Car sticker
Ladder (not shown - I had THREE, which was ridiculous - a small step-ladder, a mid-sized step ladder, and an extension ladder - Dr. Z threw out his wooden ladder at his office and took the mid-sized one)

Today's Total: 11 Items

Overall Total: 979 Items

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
