33 Day Countdown

I accepted a challenge from my mother that we would declutter our bedrooms by Labor Day (which is 33 days from today).

Today I changed my sheets and put on the clean ones that have been crumpled up in a laundry basket on my side of the bed for .... MONTHS !! The clean comforter and one of my quilts were in a second laundry basket, also beside my bed.

I emptied a basket of my clean folded clothes (that have been in my room for at least 2 weeks).

Three laundry baskets gone, makes a big difference!

I also: returned some children's books to the living room bookshelves (the books were beside my bed from when I read to a grandchild), picked up some dirty clothes off the floor, put some of my shoes in my closet, cleared the front area of my closet floor so I could step in and not twist an ankle by stepping on something, threw away old empty medicine bottles (after removing the labels), and put a hair styling brush back in a drawer.
