It's 7:45p.m. and it's the first time Linda has sat down all day! She taught classes until 1:00. Next she went to one of her students 7th birthday party; she was home only 5 minutes and Sarah, Gretel and NOAH came over to help her clean out some closets and sort through stuff. They worked 2 solid hours and filled 3 giant contractor bags of clothes to go to the thrift store, plus 1 more of clothes that Sarah took home for her little sister. Also, Linda worked on the second family room and got tons of trash/yard sale/thrift store stuff sorted out. It's all going to take weeks of work, but eventually she'll be able to downsize to a small townhouse! How did we ever amass so much STUFF. She hates STUFF. It weighs you down and makes your life feel cluttered. Here is one of the "after" closets. UPDATE: After a little dinner, Linda did another closet that was packed with more clothes she wasn't wearing. Someone is going to be sure happy to get all her cast-offs. She finally surrendered her favorite size 2 white Hilfiger sailor pants into the giveaway bag. A size 2 is way too skinny for 5' 10" Linda, she just did not want to admit it.
