This visit, we stayed in Lillian's apartment and we started work on her closet. As they tell us on television shows about organizing and de-cluttering, we decided to put each item in one of three piles: Keep, Donate, and Throw Away.
We quickly realized we wouldn't finish the closet in 1 hour, so we went to the apartment front desk and they gave us three good-sized boxes for the three piles. By the time our hour was up, we had made it through the shoes, the off-season clothes, and part of the top shelf.
It was nice to visit with Lillian as we worked. She says that January is a good time to clean out, because it's a brand new year and we want to start it with an organized home. She had a positive attitude about cleaning things out, and she only waffled on whether to get rid of a few items. We put them aside to reconsider next time.
We stacked up the boxes in the corner of the bedroom when we were done. I think we'll be able to finish next time. Our next visit will be next Wednesday 1/21.
