Sounds like you're making excellent progress Vasilisa- keep up the good work and let us know your exciting news when you're ready!
I took Gemm's advice and decided to start with the drawer where I store clothes I might wear again someday. When I opened it, I found that I'd already gotten rid of all those clothes and it was relatively empty. However, just making the decision to start somewhere gave me the impetus to keep going and I found a lot of stuff that had been sitting in plain sight for so long it had become invisible to me. On Saturday I took another whole box to the thrift store! Yay! Now I think it's time to go back to looking for books to donate. I've got so many that I know there are some I'll never read again. I'll shoot for 7 books this week. That's only 1 per day- should be doable. Who's organizing what today?
