Day 144: Sock Stash
Though it pained me to not solve the mystery, I threw out a pile of single socks today. What happened to the rest may never surface, but a year and a half of missing partners is long enough to consider the cased unsolved and closed.
*Love the sock story...their days are numbered in my house, too!
I also love it when simplifying finds me instead of me going to look for it. Washing machine on the fritz (don't love that), so I needed to "simplify" (clean) the area next to the machine so that hubby could take a look. In the process I put a candle holder (don't even ask why it was next to the washing machine - I have NO idea!), a necklace, a bracelet, and a doll's apron into the give-away box. (I know those things came down at the bottom of laundry baskets.)
Next, middle daughter put in a request that I actually put all the boxes that have been piling up in her room for a trip to the attic, into the attic! She had added some things to the pile and I was able to throw out a Build-A-Bear box, and a Build-A-Bear accessory, plus I put an organizing container into the give-away box.
Great day of simplifying and hubby got the washer fixed...for now, anyway. :)
