neadods | Sunday 7

I've been winding this down with only the basement yet to go through and no energy to deal with it, and yet I found plenty of things to toss this week, and I mostly do mean toss:

1) My grandfather's extension cords. They were given to me when I set up house, but I looked at them when M pulled out the tree and thought "I'd never plug those in; they went out of code 50 years ago." Into the trash with them.

2) Lots of old makeup. I know you're not supposed to keep it, but I was out of sheer stubbornness for the price paid for it. However, it looks like it's all going to be replaced with mineral makeup anyway.

3) Tangled snarls of yarn. I was keeping them to disentangle someday... why?

On the Freecycle side, there were:

4-5) Two of those recipe books where you put index cards in slots. I've been using a regular 3-ring binder so I can rip articles right out of Fine Cooking and put them in.

6) A china serving dish - a long rectangle with four compartments that I haven't found a single use for since I picked it up at a yard sale two years ago.

That's one short, but not bad for a week where I haven't even been trying.
