Survey #235 Response from CHRISTINE
| Pronouns | She/her |
|---|---|
| Complete the following statement: “My home could serve as the Museum of _____.” (You may also substitute “monument” for “museum.”) | Museum of my clothes....each and every size. Especially black slacks....5 pairs...in many sizes. I have been many sizes. But I keep hoping to someday fit back into the smaller sizes. And then I would wear the larger sizes, only when I am out gardening or decluttering in the garage or basement. I have been able to fit into the smaller sizes, before, but not lately for years now. It is because I cannot afford to keep buying clothes, in many sizes, that I keep the older clothes. (p.s. that awful Lyme disease from ticks on our lawns, in very common in our area....even if one just walks on a lawn. So old clothes are useful to wear outside when gardening, and then just discard them. Even washing clothes several times, will not kill Lyme disease ticks. ) |
| Complete the following statement: “My home is a warehouse for _____.” | Clothing in a variety of sizes I have worn. |
| Describe something that you’re keeping because it connects you with a past version of yourself, your family history, a former relationship, etc. | Books.... I do not have too many, But I kept have some books I never read now. But they connect me to when I was in college. A much younger version of myself. It is interesting for me to note, that back then, there were not the huge amount of photos taken, as there are today. So I do not have many photos of myself, during college. So books I used at that time, bring me back to that time, instead of photos. |
| Describe something that you’re keeping for a future need, whether real or imagined. What is the likelihood that you will use the item in question within the next year? Five years? | Medical equipment ...like crutches, canes, rolling walkers, foot and knee braces, arm slings. I have had medical issues, where I had to purchase expensive medical equipment. And I actually did use some equipment, later on, for yet another medical problem. I know I will use some of this medical equipment, after some accident or medical problem, or surgery, in the next five year. Only problem is that medical equipment takes up a lot of room in a small house. |
| Here’s your chance to ask Gayle and Ed any question you’re curious about. It need not be related to this survey’s topic(s). If we think that your question—and our answer—might be useful or instructive to The Clutter Fairy Weekly audience, we’ll share them in an upcoming episode. | What are your favorite organizing supplies to use in a kitchen,,after you have decluttered the kitchen. p.s. I still have not found the "perfect" spice organizer. |
| Future topics | Organizing closets. I know to declutter, but would like to fit as much as possible in a closet. in a small home, there are very few closets, so I need to store as much as possible in each closetI that I do have |
