Brutal Decluttering

March 15th, 2005 at 02:08 am

Today I finally got a big start on my decluttering. I think part of it is because my dad is here and I couldn't let myself just waste a whole day being lazy like I did during President's Day weekend. So, maybe him being here is a good thing. Smile

I decluttered underneath the wet bar in my livingroom. Then I went in my bedroom and I decluttered my two nightstands. Then I began the brutal decluttering. I am a major booklover and own over 1000 books. I've moved them many many times, and have at most thinned out maybe 10 - 20 books a move. Today though I went through my books and only kept the ones that either were by an author I just love, or ones that I know I might read again someday, or that I could fairly easily recall what it was about. That left about 400 books! So, that means I'll be taking around 600 books to Half-Price Bookstore to sell. My dad got me some free boxes from Wal-mart to put the books in. I probably won't be able to take them there until Wednesday or Thursday. I wonder how much I'll get for them. Smile

Dad and I went to Wal-Mart to get some packing tape. While we were there I also got two boxes of my Sunbelt Granola bars. They are now only $1.50, $.09 less than before! Dad paid for them, along with a couple of the $.88 DVD's he wanted.

We were going to go to a movie again tonight, but dad fell asleep while watching the news. That was okay with me because I was ready for an evening in.

Oh! Earlier today while I was taking a break from decluttering and had just gotten on the net, I got a IM from my former bf. He wa asking me about my dad's case, and how I was doing. Then he told me that he's getting married! My dad walked in about that time so I didn't get to find out when, but I did tell him Congratulations. He's been with this person for something like seven months (I think). I wonder if she knows that he keeps in touch with me. Smile

I still haven't responded to my ex-bf's email. It really hasn't been on purpose, I just have been so busy and haven't had that much time on the net. Maybe I'll do it tonight . . . or maybe on Wednesday . .. or Thursday.??? Smile

This morning I had my doctor's appointment. I told her about how tired I had been lately, weight gain, etc, and about my acne acting up badly the past couple of months. She told me that it could possibly be my thyroid, and I might have to go back on Synthroid. I won't know for sure until probably Wednesday or Thursday. I also asked her for a reccomendation to a doctor in the new area I'll be moving to, and she gave me the name of someone she went to school with. She also gave me a prescription for a topical medicine to help with my acne. I dropped off the prescription at Walgreens, but forgot to pick it up.
