Tossing the Garbage.

Today is the day to put the garbage at the end of the driveway for pickup. I decided it’s time to clean out my mom’s kitchen cabinets. Not only could I not find anything I needed to use for baking or cooking, but also every time I opened a cabinet I’d get hit in the head with needless plastic butter containers and lids. Coupons and box tops fluttered their way to the floor and the jammed-packed cabinet door wouldn’t close properly.

Not a bad day’s work. It only took me six hours and four garbage bags to toss container after container, can after can and box after box of expired food products, and all the miscellaneous odds and ends type stuff that were saved “just in case they’re needed”.

What a refreshing feeling it is to be able to open a cabinet and find the mixing bowls, measuring cups and baking pans easily and not get thumped on the head by flying debris.
