FB Minimalism Groups....

I have "looked into" minimalism for about 5 or 6 months now... so many ppl have a different definition of what that means. Many ppl talk about "capsule" wardrobes and wearing only 33 things, etc. 

I have minimalized a LOT really. I cut down on my makeup. I got rid of most of my fingernail polish. I just don't wear it any more and if I do, it's a soft pearl or something. OUT it went and I donated a lot to a friend's gdaughters.

I cut down even MORE on my wardrobe today. And I can do even more, I'm sure. I cut my day wear in HALF. I packed boots, shoes, purses, clothes, OMgosh... it's all loaded in my car. And it's all nice stuff. I just do NOT wear it bc I do not teach in public schools or at the college any more. And the jewelry. I hardly wear it now. My hair is such a short pixie.. I barely have to fix it. Make up is down to minimal... but I still like it. I have whittled it away and I feel so light and lively.

There are boxes of stuff in the garage that need to be brought IN since they put our furniture in... I do NOT want to bring it in. It's books and do dads... I just am sick of dusting them or NEEDING to dust them. Things are now in drawers.... Things are put away. The only thing that has "stuff" on it is my classroom and that's my JOB. 

Today I cleaned out the online classroom and office. I went thru my filing cabinet and need to shred things and OUT went a lot of papers that were about things I don't even remember.

I cleaned out my closet big time and over my closet. I have blankets that we do not use... they are scratchy and take up space and we havent used them in years. NO one needs a scratchy stiff blanket. I don't even want to donate those. 

I put about 17 items on FB Marketplace and if they do not sell by Saturday, they are going to the consignment shop. .... 

I start back to work this week. I'm very glad, but I would have liked to had this week off so I can tie up some loose ends. 

My house will be so easy to clean now. ... yay... Hubby worked his tail off today too. He fixed the router and all the "wires" for the internet to be behind a hidden bookcase. U can no longer see it. He hauled tons of junk out to the trash. He cleaned up his stuff... some of it... but he could still trash out more. He's never lets anything go. But he is getting better. 

I'm tired but very very happy.
