Thank you, Red and Lots. It was past time, and I am determined to defeather my nest because it's simply choking the joy out of me to see all we've accumulated that's taking up precious real estate for no good reason. I've also been helping my sisters go through my mom's things and she was a saver . A very organized saver, a very clean saver, but a saver nonetheless. I was already on a decluttering mission at my house in January. When she passed, my dad was the one who initiated the go-ahead for their house. So now I'm kind of doing both houses as the mood strikes, but mine's easier because I get to make the majority of decisions for what stays and what goes.
