Death Cleaning

I have been thinking about how to let Things go away.  I bring things home thinking that I will use them, or there is some value in them.  They just hang around getting in the way.  I am putting things in a box to take to goodwill.  If there is something that has some memory associated with it I will write about it under death cleaning.  Today's box of things included things that people gave me, or things that I bought, both of which I thought I needed but I realized I didn't.  I also threw away some programs of events that I attended, but I took a photo before they went to the recycling bin. First box of stuff to go.

Choir concerts.  This last weekend was busy with two concerts with the magnolia chorale.  On Saturday evening there was a nice gala with food and drinks.  On Sunday we sang at the ascension Lutheran Church for an afternoon concert.  Singing in the chorale is nice.  After I went to the transfer station to drop off an old mattress that the tenants left behind.  When I was on my way home I got a call about water dripping from the ceiling. After dinner I went to check it out.  It turns out the kitchen faucet was leaking.  I said I would return the next day to replace it.  After I went dancing at Century. It was a busy Sunday
