Progress (The Good Kind).

Lately we've been going through a really big purge. I have unloaded books, old magazines, clothes, CDs, dishes, and bags and bags of crap that I had been keeping for no good reason.
On Monday, our friend A came by and helped us haul away a couple pieces of furniture that we no longer needed. It feels good. I'm starting to get crafty again, and just in time for the holidays, which is a huge bonus.
Last night the b.h. made some gardiniera and a small (test) batch of cranberry pepper jelly, while I did a batch of tart cherry and a batch of pomegranate. His both turned out very well. Mine have successfully jelled, but I have yet to taste them.
I also bought myself a cutting mat large enough to handle a template for the t-shirts I have been socking away for my future t-shirt quilt (well, that's probably quilts now, because there are so damned many), so that will mean even more purging (and more crafting) in the near future. In short (too late!) I am being productive once again, and it is quite a relief.

one of the best feelings to me is getting rid of a bunch of shit-the only problem is that it's really hard for me to let go of a bunch of shit.
i am just realizing now how constipated i must sound.

AJ- Don't get me wrong. I still have a WHOLE BUNCH of shit I can't seem to let go of, so I am a bit constipated myself. But still, we can walk through the living room and the office now, which is nice. Wyatt has been doing laps.

HDWK- Thanks. Now hopefully I can keep it up.
