Besides pulling stuff out of the cupboard above the (non-working) dishwasher and either putting it in the box for Goodwill or just plain throwing the dreck out (why was I KEEPING this stuff?!?), I found that we have way more liqueur glasses than anyone could possibly have a use for. I asked around amongst my friends at The Press Room and actually found someone delighted at the prospect of taking them off our hands. So yesterday I pulled them out (I did reserve a few to keep -- still more than we need, but a bit of variety) and washed them. Didn't actually deliver them because I woke up much too early, never bothered to put my contacts in and, besides, I would have had to redress in "going out" clothes, so my friend will have to wait until next week.

Stacked a few more things in the Goodwill box, too, and decluttered a couple magazines and local free papers (and finished a book, which will find a new home after Tom reads it).

Despite being very tired all day, I think I accomplished quite a bit. (Including making balsamic/red wine vinaigrette and finishing some laundry, not to mention the usual daily schlepping of firewood.)
