Congrats on your progress! I can’t even remember when we last did a big clear out like that. We’ve got some VERY elderly spices I know.

I’m pretty sure I’ve only bought Vaseline once in my lifetime, and I’m pretty old.

Unfucked the Christmas decor.
I had this whole box empty at one point and shook all the dust and glitter that was in the bottom into the trash. Gallon size plastic bags contain different sets of lights and are labeled. There’s plenty of unlabeled lights but maybe next year they’ll actually get put up somewhere once we get the required lights up. Ribbon is spooled up, all tiny things (hooks, command steps, misc) are contained in smaller plastic bags. Ornaments Kiddo has made over time are contained in another gallon size bag.

Not too long ago Lucas Paw Paw Ointment had a recall of their product here due to a chance of bacterial contamination. It was the strangest recall because their product is mostly petroleum jelly and usually sold in a tub like Vaseline where most people stick their fingers straight into it. All the communication was “the risk is extremely low” because most of the time it’s far more contaminated after it’s been used. It does get used in clinical settings though by gloved practitioners using implements rather than fingers and they can be treating people with severely compromised immune systems. The recall was primarily for those circumstances.
I too have only ever bought one tub of both Paw Paw Ointment and Vaseline.

the microwave was taken off the shelf, and the shelf cleaned and the top of the microwave degrimed. It was just general kitchen grime, that mix of dust and aerosolized grease, and the Method needed to sit in a few places for a minute, but it all wiped off without actual effort on my part.
I suppose I should get on a chair next and do the top of the fridge.

Today I tackled the closet of chaos. I did not take a good before picture and you can’t see the chaos on the floor, which just merit getting worse. The chair did not have all 4 legs on the ground

OK but…why closet chair? I mean it obviously works as a shelf so that’s great!

Haha I’m gonna guess based on my own house.
High chair displacing dining chair, kept nearby for company!

Exactly. We have another one downstairs for the full set of 4 dining chairs but like to keep one up for ready access

Ah, OK makes sense!
I would probably put it in a corner somewhere, or garage, but come to think of it, I have never had a handy closet for extra chairs!

The more chairs in corners, the more stealth climbing and leaping they can do

Thank you 
sometimes it’s hard because I was always a “lots of white space for my mental health” type person, but I know this period doesn’t last that long in the scheme of things.
