Decluttering the Stuff for a Decluttered Life in Retirement

July(ish) Challenge – Day 15

Published on

,

So I walked into the garage to do a load of laundry and happened to look up to the top of the cabinets.  Why??  Who knows!  But I did find the home and supplies for the hermit crabs.

How long ago did we have Hermie and Crabby?  I’m assuming about 12-15 years ago.  Kiddo #1 was still living here and she graduated from high school in 2005.  She moved away to go to college and has “never returned” (is that sounding too dramatic for this mommy??)  I seriously doubt they were in our home her senior year – more likely earlier – hence the range.  Does anyone remember when having hermit crabs was the big thing??  Early 2000’s??

    I had a friend who had a hermit crab and that was somewhere around 1995 because my youngest was born that year and I don’t believe she was a year old yet.

      OH NO! It can’t have been hanging around for 22 years! That would be unimaginable (if I had a totally minimized decluttered house!)

        LOL. I’m sure that we ALL have equally embarassing things hanging around! I moved 13 years ago and I still have boxes I haven’t unpacked!

          Those moving boxes – they seem to be the hardest!

          We bought an old fixer upper house and some stuff has to stay packed away until the appropriate room is “fixed.” Then I can finally unpack stuff appropriate to that room. Most of what’s not unpacked are living room and kitchen boxes in particular. Our LR is currently undergoing rennovation so at least that should help!
