Well, I did more cleaning, but you can't tell it...

Why? Because the back pantry was such a mess. Honestly, it is still a mess, but I've taken probably 100 pounds or more, that'd be about 46 K or more out of it. Expired food... one can even leaked... I did find a few things that either I couldn't tell, were the roomie's to decide or actually not expired - yet. There are bookshelves back there for storage and I pretty much went through 2 and a half of them. These shelves, after the first one by the door are stacked two high, I only grabbed a couple of things off the upper shelves because I knew I was going to dump the contents in the trash. And I wasn't dusting, I'll dust when things are pretty much settled. I know I have more stuff to go in recycling. Oh, and I'm not opening cans and dumping contents, sorry, that's why they are so heavy. I could've found more trash I'm sure, but since I was out of bins for recycling, and I was getting tired, I just stopped at this spot. I'm pretty happy with where I got to. Not even a quarter done... So, are you spring cleaning?

Sounds like you made really good progress! I'm dreading my spring cleaning

It is helping me not think about things if I'm busy thinking about other things, like cleaning or expiration dates.

There is always some cleaning to do here but the place is not very big so it does not take long. Glad you are getting more done El.

That is not my house... and there really hasn't been a lot of cleaning going on for some time. Even the last time we cleaned the kitchen, we didn't do all of it.

@RebeccasFarm oh, no, this is my house, your place isn't my house. Now, my house isn't huge, but I'm not real healthy either.

No, not really. I probably should, but we'll see.

I took 2 bins of recycling outside. I asked my guy friend to come put in recycle bin, but my across the street neighbor just put them in. I haven't even started dusting. I'll let the dust stay on cans to go out and dust what's left.

I didn't think I'd feel like doing anything after doing the trash/cat boxes, but I did.

I don't understand how you got so much stuff expired. A lot of money wasted.

I agree. The wife would want something, she would or I would order it. She'd eat one or two cans of it and then not want it again. A lot of the trouble is that I either don't like it or, more often, I can't eat it because of my food allergies. My friend Connie, @Maggiepie, would say "What you aren't allergic to, you don't like," and she pretty much had that right. Don't bother asking her, she's been gone for 5 years now.

It is hard, but I'm doing it because I need to.
