Subject: RE: BS: De-cluttering in earnest - September
I started an October thread. Let's take advantage of the seasonal shift to identify and cull the stuff we don't need.

Do we keep a stack of blankets for "just in case," or emergencies? Then put them all in one place, don't leave them all over the house, forgotten in zipper under-the-bed bags. Etc.

I've decided I need to go ahead and lose the weight (again!) to use the good clothes in my closet. They're just a size or two too small right now. In recent weeks I have dropped all dairy except yogurt and a little cheese (adding the rest back was a mistake, it was for the calcium but mostly it was fattening--I'll go back to calcium tablets and soy milk) and will take a hiatus on the glass of wine with dinner. And possibly join the thread where folks keep track of this. And I'll work now to identify the holiday decorations and see what I want to actually do with them. The house really does look pretty when they're in place, but the plants have changed so much, maybe I need to rethink the type I'm using and eliminate the ones I can't use now.

October is around the corner. Let's meet it head-on.
