• one green glass. my fave. an accidental divestment.
• faith in humanity. fortunately this is a renewable resource.
• one glass pitcher. lovely and unused.
• an eyeglass case. these seem to be breeding in my drawers.

• one rubber ball. no end to these.
• one dart. can't remember what happened to the dart board.
• one bottle Modge Podge glass sealer. old old project.

• a tub of wax worms.
• a bottle of water conditioner.
• a jar of calcium powder.
• our lovely lizard. amelia.

• anxiety. this may last.
• eight rocks. i have taken to tossing them out the kitchen window.

• my bank of america account. yes, bank transfer day was three months ago. i've been occupying a very busy life.
• one piece of kid art. the kid herself never really liked it.
• a bunch of ink cartridges. yes, they should be recycled. no, i will never remember to take them to the store with me.
• twelve erasers. disintegrating. only the pink pearls have longevity.

• two addresses. no longer needed (memorized) or wanted.
• one sweater. much loved, but no longer cutting the mustard.
• tired, outdated coupons. moving on...

• the notion that i could maintain stuff stasis for very long without daily purging. three months later it feels very crowded in here.
• returned: kid underwear in the wrong size. yes, she would grow into it someday...
• returned: first of two christmas presents purchased for my sister. second was much better.
• cracked plastic cd case. trash is trash.
• (small) stack of magazines. always a tricky temptation.

• the need to throw away five things every day. there is still some extraneous stuff, but not enough to warrant daily purging.

everything must go. the movie. a reminder that raymond chandler was a genius, will farrell is underrated but fabulous in dramatic roles, and getting rid of your stuff helps.

• a pint of blood. well, donated more than discarded.
• four hours on the couch recovering from losing all that blood. more of a weenie than i realized.

• worry. about the house, the yard, the laundry, the errands and the job. we are on vacation.

• perfume samples. blech.
• three more little kid books. they got a lot of use here.
