Go me!

By the front door, I've had this storage unit - basically 2 stands with canvas strung across making 2 shelves and baskets of shit loaded on each shelf. It's a dark section of the condo and the whole shelf unit was dark brown so I was able to not see it for years.

But, today I saw it and it's ugly. What's in there? Why do I need it? Turns out, it's massive by-the-front-door floatsum and jetsum.

• A shit load of cloth face masks that I no longer use.
• A half dozen real N95 masks I've had since before the pandemic and never could find.
• A dozen hats - 6 of which I will never ever wear.
• 2 rain ponchos
• 8739 pairs of sunglasses*
• 4 bottles of sunscreen
• 5 external batteries (to add to my already way too large collection)
• A bunch of cables and cords
• Reusable shopping bags
• A foldable backpack
• A foldable crossbody bag
• A foldable duffle bag
• Miscellaneous shit

I emptied every basket. I kept about 10% of the rest. A little for Goodwill. A lot for the dumpster.

The front hall looks amazing!

Now I'm off to the market.

*This is very much a seattle thing. we have so many cloudy days that leaving the house with sunglasses is not a given. plus, we we do have sun, it's killer, blind-you sun and you MUST have sunglasses so you stop and buy a cheap pair. Most everyone in seattle has a million pairs of sunglasses.

Go You indeed.

that sounds like a fabulously productive use of time! Go you!

You can turn those sunglasses into a weird art piece

That's a pretty fun idea. I'm going to have to think on that.

Woot!

that reminds me, I could use a new duffle bag. My old one is so beat up it has holes in it and I'm supposed to go on a trip in 5 months.
