I was up in my office writing up a cheque to pay for our willow tree trimming, when my wife called out to me and ask me to come down to the kitchen. I went down to see what the trouble was and discovered that she couldn’t pull out one of the counter drawers to get some tin foil, because the drawer was stuck in the cabinet. I unhooked and removed the drawer of spices above it, then unhooked the drawer of plastic bags where the roll of tin foil s was supposed to be.
Then I looked in the empty space where the drawers had sat and discovered it was totally full of plastic bags that we had saved had slipped out of the back of the drawer. (That is them in between the two drawers in the photo.)
The episode just confirmed what I have been thinking for a while: We have to start throwing stuff away, because we have more stuff coming into the house, than is going out, and we are running out of space.
I did pick up that big wad of stuff between the drawers, and threw it all away.. However we still have cabinets all around the house where we have a hard time opening or closing drawers because they are overflowing with foodstuffs, towels, bedding, clothes, etc. I can’t think of a single drawer that is not full to the top with things. We just have too much stuff and we’ve got to make ourselves throw most of it away.
