Today I gave in to the urge and started spring cleaning. To be absolutely truthful, I lost one of my hearing aids in the pile on the table next to my chair and decided that it was time to tackle the clutter. When I didn't find the aid after clearing off the table, I was ready to expand the search area to the vacuum cleaner bag in case I had sucked it up in a brief cleaning frenzy. Fortunately the spouse found it under the coffee table. Whew! The pair of hearing aids was $6,000.00!!! I don't have an extra $3,000.00 around to replace a lost one. Tragedy averted!
So, I had one small clutter-free area in my living room and I was encouraged to continue. Right next to my chair sits a basket that holds my reading material.
The dust bunnies are gone and even the baseboards have been cleaned. Now there is one relatively clutter-free zone in this house. Tomorrow I'm going to declutter the utility room and pantry. I'll probably have to slay some spiders in there.
...and the spouse will start putting up the sheetrock in the bathroom and fill the house with dust.

When you get done with your place, come on over. Mine is seriously ready!
ReplyDeleteWow! Hearing aids are ridiculously expensive. I had no idea.
ReplyDeleteIt feels so good when I de-clutter. After I am finished I just sit back awhile, smile and admire my neatness.
What, you don't have an extra 3 grand lying around? Glad you found it, and you got a good post out of it as we'll. :-)
ReplyDeleteSo glad your hearing aid turned up. I've got a big dcluttering project going on. I'm a saver of magazines, too, and books, lots of books! I'm seeing some headway, but lots to go.
ReplyDeleteI love decluttering! We also underwent a hearing aid search after our four-day drive home from Arizona. Found it in Art's camera bag.
ReplyDeleteThat basket looks like my sister's studio. Fortunately she does not wear hearing aids, and everything else she loses she simple buys another of.
ReplyDeleteIt is a crime what they charge for hearing aids! Good luck with the remainder of your spring cleaning. I need to start to think about that.
ReplyDeleteHearing aids are in my future, but the price has put me off. Glad you found yours! And a clean room as a bonus!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know you wore hearing aids. Thank goodness you found them. Those things are expensive. Did Oprah's mag give good advice for your project today? I no longer subscribe to magazines because they would just stack up and I don't read them.
