Clutter Hammers O' Doom
At this point (Day 22, No car), I'm stir crazy. Compared to most people in New Jersey, I don't (didn't) drive that much (5,000 miles a year) but still, I got out of the house, right?
It's funny, you know...When I was out more I was able to ignore the accumulated miscellany of clutter; the yard sale SCORES! and paper piles, the coupons and untried recipes, the Oh yeah, I'll get to that tomorrows, and those darn to-do lists everywhere.
And really when to-do lists start adding to you're clutter you're pretty much screwed and should have seen the need for an intervention coming.

Since I can't get out I've become the mole in a surreal clutter version of Whack-a-Mole, except there's no rubber mallet just these menacing Clutter Hammers O' Doom every foot and a half. I walk to the right and see them and to the left and see them and they are all going:
Right in the face .... And my face can't take much more of this.
Yoo-Hoo! Hey! Bam!
Right in the face .... And my face can't take much more of this.
So I think...Like I when did The Jamaican Declutter Fest of 2009, and The Jersey Shore Declutter Fest of 2008, it's time for The Day 22, No Car Declutter Fest of 2009 or I will lose my mind.
I'm going in....Cover me, girls.
8 People got a gold star today!:
ROFLMAO.
Imagining yourself as the mole in whack-a-mole...I'm laughing so hard I'm crying!
There is one bright side. If you HAD a car, you'd probably be driving around buying MORE CLUTTER! :)
It's really a thing that looks one way, depending where you're sitting kind of thing...It's like I'm stuck but if I wasn't I'd be making it worse but wouldn't care cause I wasn't stuck...but since I am...WHACK
I have my car; haven't had to do without for al long as I can remember; and I have papers everywhere, projects undone, to do lists on my kitchen and bathroom counters; cuz how can I be expected to remember by the time I get downstairs or vice versa? The problem is not my car; it's the fact that I have my computer; plus the family one if I really need it. ha.
Funny post. :)
Go for it girl.....here is a massive declutter hammer that I used for the Summer 09 declutter fest here in Texas. Yeah that is where all those high winds came from....me swinging the hammer.
I know you will find a house under there somewhere. You may also find a garage sale or two to help add some $$ to the future car.
I can't image that much time without a car. I suppose if I didn't drive to work, I'd get fired and then I'd be in a whole heap of trouble. Let's all pray my car doesn't break down.
Good luck on the declutter fest!
I've found the "clock" method helpful. Mentally call a part of the room 12 Noon and go clockwise. It helps take over that sense of panic and chaos and put a sense of order to the whole scheme.
I'd say that day 22 without the van might be a twisted form of blessing? But you have more clutter, so, therefore you have more things you can chuck at me and whip at my head. So I shan't. ;-)
*hugs* Good luck! Check out flylady.com, too - she's a bit to Jesus-y for my taste, but I still do her 21 fling boogie exercise.
I would feel so trapped!
Been there, done that! DROVE.ME.OUT.OF.MY.MIND!!!
