I’m sort of off to a good start with today’s cleaning and organizing project…..It’s not that I cleaned and organized much yet, but I managed to throw out 3 bags of stuff this afternoon. I wanted to donate some books for the library’s autumn sale, but the library was closed for the first time today for summer Sundays (bummer!)…so I’ll keep the books in the car until I go back because I just don’t want them back in here!
I keep looking at all the stuff I have in bags and boxes and wonder where I got the money to buy it all….or how much am I throwing out that isn’t paid for yet (paid with credit)? I am starting to feel a bit lighter with getting rid of some things, but tonight I will keep the TV off and play the radio and go thru bags of stuff and toss and toss.
I really need to toss out stuff…Cousin Bernadette (my name for my relationship with debt) looks at the things that I think I should throw away and starts asking me if we should replace things after we are organized or start a new style of accumulation… or she starts wanting to save everything anyway. She’s basically in my way, but I am trying to do this around here. Not easy for me. I know that I should let things sit as is for a while after I have done this whole organization project (which will probably take all summer as things are busy right now with work and some other activities) and not add back into the mess, but I’ll have to keep repeating to myself that I need to do this, and I need to purge………oh, no….now all I can thing of is credit bulimia: binge shopping and purges of stuff not yet paid for. Not a good concept……
Well, yeah, looking at all this stuff all over the house just makes me feel like NOT adding more to it. At least right now. Will I feel the same if I see a big sale or some to-die-for-at-the-time item????????
I have eaten out a lot this weekend, but I did buy enough items yesterday to eat cheap at home for the rest of the week. I am looking forward to the long weekend. I have plans that are inexpensive like craft time and exercise and SLEEP!!!!
Please send positive energy my way that I find more time and more enthusiasm to keep this organization project going. It’s part of my plan to be more in control of things in my life that will ultimately affect my spending and debt repayment.

Sending enthusiasm vibes your way to keep you going. Yesterday I accomplished a lot but today is the lazy day for me. I just can't get myself to do anything.
Good luck
