Got half my bedroom done

Cleaned out half my bedroom. Found things we can use in the new house that I had forgotten I still had. Tomorrow the 2 closets. The big one won't be a lot, but the small one will probably fill a trash can. LOL I stick stuff in that closet that I'm not sure where to put. Found a whole box full of women's shaving cream. About 20 years ago, when Spring Break was about over, a customer was moving stuff they handed out to the kids, and I saw there were some small shaving cream cans. I asked if I could have 1 or 2, and she gave me the whole box. I used a few of them, then put them over on a shelf, and then blankets were on top, etc. etc. I looked for them a couple of times, and decided maybe I had used them up...So today, I found them, and there were 2 tubes of moisturizers. So I am stocked up for a while. I am thinking there SHOULD be a few razors left that she gave me in that small closet. I'm really not a bad housekeeper, I just put things in places thinking I will use them later, and then I forget where I put them. Getting old Sucks!

I can relate to that! I'm always putting things up to stay "safe." They are safe all right when you can't find them again.

Packing to move always brings out surprises.

I’m 43, and I do that, so it’s not just you.

I’ve reached that age: putting something in a “safe place” usually required three or four post-it notes to remind me WHERE the “safe place” is.

I do that all the time. Did you find a place to move to.

You will be feeling very accomplished as you get more and more cupboards cleaned out.

20 years ago? Can you still used that? But anyway, I do a kinda similar thing, I just clean the house and put things in a box nicely in my mind I will say I put things in different boxes segregating things so I can find them easily... but no! I forgot where I put everything after that, and after a few month or sometimes year it will just pop up..

I can't imagine what I will find if I ever move. Have a good weekend. I hope your packing is moving along smoothly.
