I priced a couple of books from my "baggage" box--one of them is a scarce modern book that lists for $450 on Amazon. One hates to put a price on heartache, but this goes a way toward soothing it. Trouble is, this is one of his better books. I'll see how much the others are going for. . .

Shredded old grocery receipts tonight. They didn't take up a lot of space, but because I kept them for tax purposes they couldn't be simply tossed in the trash with the amount of personal and account information they contained. I didn't burn them this evening, it was pouring down rain.

You'd think after all of this work there would be less to trip over around here. I think the result of decluttering is that at this point there is still too much stuff but it isn't packed as tightly. As space clears the other clutter expands out into it. I'll eventually reach bottom, but I'm only about half-way there yet.
