After returning from doing the monthly shopping and errands, I cleaned out the fridge and tossed 25 items. I may be having some trouble adjusting to cooking for 1-4 people instead of 8!
I then had to cook dinner, put away groceries, feed critters, prepare for and attend a committee meeting, and deal with some office work.
After all that was done, I really felt like decluttering something!

Since I still needed to put away some conditioner I had bought, I decided to haul the entire contents of the bathroom cabinets and drawers to the kitchen (where I could work upright as my back is sore) and sort them out. Ok, that's a lot of stuff!
| After wiping out the cabinets, I left them to dry while I combined the dregs of various shampoo and conditioner bottles using the good old balance-it-on-a-funnel method. While those dripped one by one, I sorted through the other stuff. |  |
| I ended up throwing out 44 empty or expired containers etc, plus a big bag full of trash and small items (counted as one), making a total of 70 items tossed today, just from the fridge and the bathroom cabinet! |  |
Now the cabinet and drawers are nice and neat, and I know what is in there. Turns out I won't need to buy any shampoo, conditioner, shaving foam, razors, skincare, hairspray, hair mousse, toothpaste, dental floss, soap, liquid hand soap, insect repellent, suntan lotion or deodorant in quite some time! Of course, with less of us at home, everything lasts longer. Did I mention I need to adjust? LOL
