Newbies Nest Roll Call
Taking a break from autumn cleaning (it's like spring cleaning, only "Oh wow, better do this before it snows!) to mention something satisfying. In a few more weeks I think I'll finally have tossed all my old empty bottles. Or be close to it, anyway. See, I didn't hide full bottles nearly as much as I hid the empties - didn't want anyone knowing how much I went through in a week. So in my logic (ugh) I hid a lot of them and then promised myself I'd take them all to the recycling center "someday." Lots of places to hide when you rent a 4 bedroom basement with a walkin closet in yours. >.< Massive amounts of empty bottles are not light so it's taking time. But every time I get rid of a load I feel good that they're gone AND I'm not replacing them with more.
It's easy for me sometimes to get into a depressing "The hell was wrong with me" mood when I have to tackle things like that. But I've been letting myself feel that so I don't forget and then moving on to "but I'm done with that now," as best I can. I've been tackling my computer/reading room first since I spend the most time in here and it really feels good to look around at it now.
