Four Scrabble sets?

[redbird]

I've been doing some decluttering lately, while I'm in an appropriate frame of mind. Some of it is clothing that either doesn't fit anymore, or that I realized I don't like. I've also culled some of the old apas and fanzines (this is the part that surprises me) along with tossing things like the manual for a fax machine we replaced a year ago, years-old hotel receipts, and the like.

This afternoon, I was doing some stretches, and realized I could see three Scrabble^TM sets from where I was standing. None of them was the set we regularly use. Realistically, I think we need two: the regular set, and one of the travel sets. But this bit of the culling can wait: part of why this is emotionally reasonable is that I'm skipping anything that feels difficult.

I may address the difficult parts if and when I answer all the easy questions, like "why do I have an old takeout menu for a restaurant we never even ordered from?" Or not: this is a process which really is worth doing in part, because having more space in the sock drawer is worthwhile even if I have more socks than I in some sense need.

Is it worth trying to give away unwanted dangly earrings, or are people going to be put off by (actual or perceived) risk of infection? Some of them are singletons that I bought as pairs (I lose things): I had thought of wearing unmatched earrings, but it turns out I don't. And some are pairs that I haven't worn in ages: I had thought I would like them better than I do, or maybe my tastes have changed.

Yah, I have used up three pens while writing Christmas cards. Sometimes cleaning out the things that are used up, using up the things that are almost used up, and sorting out the things that are not getting used is really satisfying and worthwhile.
