DAY 1 = 1 chipped plate DAY 2 = 1 chipped plate (another one, he felt lonely) + a business card holder
this is for CQ
I also recycled a book (private challenge of detaching from my own book fetish)
today is a tough day for me because I am extra tired and I just did this game all the way on January, so I am glad that it starts with low numbers
I am slowly slugging through a pile of “maybe” books and putting the discarded ones in a suitcase to bring to consignment
but until the suitcase is full + I know what they take, I am not counting those
DAY 3 = 3 ITEMS – colander (new but in metal, not ideal, tiny spots of rust + I have others)
– new pairs of kitchen cleaning gloves, (of course I have many, giving these to my mom, who actually goes through hers by really cleaning!
:lol: )– new sets of microfibre cloths (again I have many, don’t like the feel of them, giving to mom)
that’s it for today,
but since I have more energy again – yay – I am attacking my kitchen, focus on organisation and whatever I find goes
I have just invented my own rule, that if I do find more items, I will count them backwards for day 28 when I could be tired/fed up/no time etc
TOTAL COUNT OF ITEMS SO FAR = 6
3 (from today) + 3 (from past days)
(p.s. for my private reconditioning myself with books, still need to find my book OUT for recycle, but will do it at some point for sure)

Maybe a cook book! :lol: 45 total- yay! you are way ahead CQ! DAY 4 = 4 items 1. don’t know what it’s called to boil water that whistles loudly in a stressful (for me) way, – A KETTLE maybe? – it’s really pretty but old and I think it’s kind of rusty inside, my mother gave it to me (as she did and still wants to do with so much stuff) because she could not handle throwing it out and I have always felt guilty to do it….OUT!!!
2. other thingy what’s it called you put in the freezer and you use it to carry food around? ha ha sorry too tired to check the translations on google, cold pack something? out!
3. old boots (yes these too hand me downs from mom NO MORE!)
4. cleaning products (guess who I am giving them to?
:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: )today, even though they were only 4 it was tough because I was extremely tired and not in the mood
but I made it!
(why did I sign myself up for another month of this???)
private challenge, (nothing to do with the minim’s game, my own training/detachment from books and all the rest hopefully from there on)
I let go of one book yesterday, on a wall
and one for today on the park bench
TOTAL COUNT 4 (today) + 6 (past days) = 10 OUT
DAY 5 = 5 items 1. book to specific person
2. scarf
3. handbag to a friend
4. handbag to a friend
5. many small items of jewelry to a friend, counting as a group of one
TOTAL COUNT 5 (today) + 10 (past) = 15 OUT
+ identified the book that shall be freed in the wild, it’s in my bag to go out with me later
have a great clearing freeing day!
47 total. I better be ahead, as I am already out of stamina hahaha Yay CQ! keep it up! DAY 6 = 6 ITEMS
1. small cheap video camera I got free from some subscription but never used, will give it to my niece to play with
2. a memory card I had around (so she can actually play with it)
3. a small pretty bottle
4. another small pretty bottle
5. a make-up pouch thing
6. a tray
+ I have identified the next book to be released in the wild except it’s raining so I will put it aside for the next days asap
This number thing is getting tedious…I really had a hard time today, not because I do not have items to let go of, plenty of that, but decision fatigue plus I find it harder when focusing on trying to get things clean and physically exhausted
BUT I am sticking to it!
TOTAL COUNT 6 (today) + 15 (past) = 21 OUT
Mrs Manic
Well done. You are sticking at this. Make sure you get enough rest but as long as you keep going in this way you’ll really be making a difference. 47 Thanks Mrs. Manic for the encouragement! yes I need to rest, you are right, I am just scared that if I stop I will not start again, but I do need to learn to allow myself to recharge
I will do so tomorrow as there will not be time all day, (family surprise birthday party for my niece in the afternoon, and work in the morning)
So I am doing both days 7 and 8 today
and resting all day tomorrow
Hello CQ!!
DAY 7 = 7 ITEMS 1. empty make-up bag/pochette
2. very basic mobile + recharger + manual (theoretically working but can’t unlock it + bad memory associated to it…OUT! no more bad energy stuff allowed!!)
3. a HUGE bag with 21 cd+booklet that I am counting as 1 because its a whole course for computer learning, (of course I bought it a long time ago with the best intentions started on the first, got side-tracked and now its totally obsolete!)
4. a new bathrobe for going to the gym, one of those super light weight ones (was a gift, don’t like it, never used it, and I hate gyms even if I keep forcing myself to try)
5. small booklet
6. high heeled mules (really cute and sexy!! maybe wore them once, feel unable to do anything in them)
7. knee high glove like boots with wedges (super cute, new, too tight, uncomfortable, such a pity)
(why am I giving all these details anyway? maybe my obsessive side + way of saying bye to the stuff??)
TOTAL COUNT 7 (today) + 21 (past) = 28 OUT
+ to be released wilderness book (raining now, waiting patiently)
DAY 8 = 8 ITEMS (1 day before) 1. broken scotch tape holder
2. a shirt
3. booklet
4. another booklet
5. ring binder
6. thingy to use with the product to whiten in between tiles (terrible, I use a paintbrush instead)
7. old cleaning brushes
8. 2 sets of paintbrushes, 1 used and 1 brand new
TOTAL COUNT 8 (today) + 28 (past) = 36 OUT
+ the wilderness book (still raining, they are now 3 waiting for sunshine to be released)
Why are you giving all these detail? Cause it helps. It helped me, too. Way back when I was new to this. Eventually I got to a point where I didn’t need it anymore. And one day you will get to a point when you can stop counting, too. 50
