The fridge is now fully wiped down with hot soapy water. No additional food surprises found.

Wanna come do my refrigerator? :grin:

I actually really like doing fridges. The problem is, you offer to do someoneā€™s fridge and they are likely to take offence. :slight_smile:

ETA: so why has it been over 18 months since I did the fridge? Itā€™s only satisfying if there is some level of before->after difference, and with two adults, and me spot cleaning, there is generally not enough bang.

not a surprise, but Iā€™ve decided to dump the box of baking soda that was in there.

the baking soda that the previous home owner left in the fridge when she sold the house.
the fridge that died within a month I think of us moving in
in 2006

This is a room that breaks spirits. Especially at 8:30pm.

Ooh, I unfucked my underwear drawer today. Made up a bag of socks I donā€™t like for the thrift store, moved some of the excess camisoles* I bought when the style was discontinued, and now I can easily open and shut the drawer!

*So far only to a laundry basket, but I have plans for a high shelf when Iā€™m not home alone - I try not to climb alone.

I Unducked the top of my dressing table that acts as my bedside table. Admittedly, mostly moving things into the drawers underneath. But now I have a functional surface on which to sort the contents of those drawers!

I did a whole bunch of stuff with clothes. Went through everything, said goodbye to many items to be donated. Moved summer stuff into the closet, and winter stuff out. Rearranged everything in closet. Oh! Also went through all of our sheets and got rid of a bunch of that stuff, too. But I still need to tackle whatever is on the shelves in the closet. Too high, need a ladder, so I havenā€™t done it yet. No, the ladder is not far away, but you know how it is. I did not take pictures, sorry.

Unfucking my living room and dining room hopefully today. I need to get rid of some stuff and find homes for others. Somehow I always end up with a huge pile of magazines on the coffee table because I think Iā€™ll remember to read them if they are in front of me but that doesnā€™t happen. Ugh.

I did a quick unfucking yesterday, cleared out all the crap lying around the floor and tables, made Buy Nothing bags, put laundry away. Then got home from a bike ride and dropped all my sweaty clothes on the floor. Thus starts the re-fuckening.

Itā€™s like an ecosystem. The refuckening is an important part of maintaining the balance.

Does breaking a teapot count as decluttering/unfucking our crazy tea area?

'Cause I did that.

Literally what I said a minute and a half after breaking it. Tarnished silver linings or something like that. (I liked that teapot, SIGH.)

I unfucked the study nook. I need to go through it again with a bin and recycling box next to me, but now I actually have enough desk space to sort things out. It had a pile of clothing and papers and boxes on it. Now it is beautiful clear desk space.

Ponder did a big unfuckening of the pile of boxes that always gathers at the entrance to our house. It comes in waves, and has since we moved in over 3 years ago. Really hoping it stays away for a while.

I POSTED 37 CLOTHING ITEMS TO BN AND ORDERED A THREDUP LABEL FOR 3 THAT MIGHT BE WORTH SENDING IN.

And figured out what needs to go to Goodwill and textile recycling.
