2019: Purge, Purge, Purge!

2019 Reasons to Purge, Purge, Purge

It's time for all that "New Year/New You" crap.

This year, I am focusing on Goals rather than Resolutions. (more on those at a later time because it seems that four of my seven goals are, perhaps, not realistic in the span of one calendar year)


One of my cats is experiencing Stage 1 renal failure. She has arthritis, as well, but other than those two things, she's a pretty solid little Golden Girl kitty. The vet is optimistic about the antibiotics, medicated food, and the water intake, so far.

I am removing a minimum of ten (10) items from my home per day and discarding, donating, or gifting them.

So far in 2019, I have eliminated 32 items, and I have the rest of today to pick more items to go.
I started watching Hoarders (in the background) while I clean my home. It seems to help motivate me to keep going, as I am desperately afraid of reaching "Hoarder" status.

I am a packrat. I was raised by a cluttered packrat. She was raised by a minimally neat hoarder. The neat hoarder was raised by a Hoarder.



I am reading every day, and I've started writing again. I love my three jobs (coordinator in educational sales, German teacher, and English & German teacher with contracted course writing duties).

I'm making friends with some coworkers, which makes me happy. I have felt a little isolated as my social life really just consists of spending time with my boyfriend (with whom I live).
