Threw out a bunch of stuff. My dad's out of town and my mother's depression (a side effect of her anti-rejection meds) has lifted for the time being so we're cleaning house like madwomen. I filed papers all day long and then helped her go through some of her sewing stuff. We have piles of stuff to give away and piles more to finish sewing and either use or give away. We finally threw out the pillows that belonged to my grandfather (who has been dead for 28 years) and some tableclothes, etc., that were my other grandmother's and are so old they're falling apart. We're getting ready to box up books tonight and send them back to my brother for him to deal with, since he doesn't live here any more. Then, we can get rid of his horrible cheap bookcases.

I love seeing clutter go out the door.
