Day Seventy Six: New Year

Tomorrow is the new year and my room is still a mess, but getting better.

I have a box ready to go, a place to donate my beanie babies and a place to donate my cabbage patch dolls. I think I can finally fit all my books on the book shelf. Once I get rid of so many dolls, I should have a much cleaner, simpler life. It honestly hurts to be getting rid of them, but at the same time, it feels good. I don't need to keep everything from my past.

I need to let go. Let go of so much.

The beanie bags are going to two charities: Kids in Crisis, which gives the beanie babies to preemies and their families (and will also take the tiny beanie babies, not just the full size ones) and Project Gratitude, which gives care packages to soldiers. I was originally going to sell these beanie babies, but honestly, if I can help some one instead, I will happily do that.

My dolls and stuffed animals will be going to multiple locations as well, though I am not sure how many yet. I am hoping to find a shelter (or shelters) to give them to if I can, or at least part of them. I also want to give some to police stations, because cops give them to kids that are found at crime scenes and the like. Project Gratitude also takes stuffed animals as well. I think that this will be good for me and good for them.

Anything else I can find to donate, I will. I'll also give to salvation army too, but mainly clothes and the like there, just like I've been doing almost monthly.

Hopefully knowing where things are going, will help with the cleaning process and this new year, will bring a new cleaner, life.

Day Sixty: Am I ever not busy? I mean, really? Ever?

I have a box full and ready to go, mainly books and Cabbage Patch Dolls. Which kills me. Both are some of my favorite things, but I now have enough shelf space (hopefully) for all of books. I also go to get rid of a lot of LARP (Live Action Role Playing) things, because the people I was doing them for decided that I was no longer worth their time.

My camera sold on Ebay, making my Ebay box lighter and I'll be putting my dress up on their, as well as those beanie babies this week hopefully.

With my last part of the semester, I didn't have a ton of time to clean, but I'll find time to do more cleaning over holiday break.
