What's this?

My MO since I retired in April

Obviously, a lot of stuff changes so trying to throw stuff out etc. Hard to do when you're still working, get home tired, and then make executive decisions. Now I can do it. Already've done two purges of clothes, work clothes and clothes I've just never worn even if I paid a lot for it. Just triage. So yeah, finally decided to tackle my home office and then every other room in the house follows. I've got a lot of clutter.

Been pretty busy this summer, dealing w/retirement finances - which hasn't been trivial - losing weight etc. I probably spent 3 hours cleaning out, oh, maybe a whole cubic foot of paper today but kinda knew that would happen, and its a cubic foot of paper that will never reconstitute itself again and I'll be much better organized moving on.
