The Junk Drawer
Every home has one. It’s not anyone’s dirty little secret, really. It’s the junk drawer. A catchall for items that don’t seem to fit anywhere else. The Island of Misfits but only the domestic drawer variety.
This period of 91 Days has started off a bit tepid. However is the spirit of baby steps are giant leaps and as part of the plan to declutter, I enlisted the teenage daughter, my co-conspirator, and we tackled the junk drawer.
The drawer was emptied on to our main table. A clear table thanks to the ALL SURFACES CLEAR idea being practiced. The contents were sorted in three categories, those going back into the drawer, those going to the trash, and those to be sorted later. That pile, strangely enough, ended up with household hardware items. These will find their proper homes in the toolbox in the shed.
I only realize now that I should have taken some pictures to jazz this post up but also to be transparent in this exercise. This is my journey and I get to make the rules.
