Not really different but...

Today I am f***ing proud of myself! I am finally at the end of a long and painful house cleaning project... You know, I had too many clothes. Most of them from when I was still married, nice representative stuff. So in fact all rather timeless and neat...but I had 4 vacuumbags full, an almost exploding wardrobe and dresser oh and a box (that's important, remember the box!). And an old suitcase full of blankies and bedlinnen. All on top of my wardrobe.

Now I have only one body (although a rather big one) and enough clothes to dress a small village. And the main reason I kept holding on to all these clothes was that I was/am afraid I can't buy any more now. Well that's my theory. But OMG something had to go here! And next to the clothes I had a whole box of handbags and a box full of knicknacks...

So I put the bags and the knicknacks up for sale. Just to see what happened. Well I sold one pretty picture frame :p But the rest I could give to a friend! She was really happy with it all. The bags...well I tossed one. (I have a bit of a bags and shoes fetish :p ) The old suitcase I put for sale too and luckily that sold the same day.

But all them clothes...I wanted to get rid of them and making pics and putting them on various websites and having to send them off to people...I knew that was gonna take too long! And I looked for those charity containers you can put clothes in but couldn't find any near where I live. So I Just.Threw.Them.In.The. Trash!!! Yes. 4 whole vacuumbags of clothes. Well almost 5. And now I have room left in my wardrobe and dresser and a box (remember the box?) of winter stuff on top of my wardrobe!

Today I finished folding and hanging everything I had left (and ironed some stuff too) and washed the clothes that had just gotten dirty from hanging in the wardrobe. I put the box on top of the wardrobe and my place looks somewhat like a house again :)  (Instead of like an exploded fashion warehouse.) 

And I have to admit: I feel soooo much lighter! Well, emotionally. I didn't just throw away old clothes but also old emotions, an old life. Good on me!

I had to do something different today though. So for dinner I decided to 'posh up' a new fave dish: the sushi bowl. I looove sushi but am really too lazy to make all them rolls just for myself. So a sushi bowl is, let's say, deconstructed sushi. Sushi rice and all the stuff you put in the rolls. And in my case today that was surimi, avocado, cucumber, nori and sesame seeds. But I added chopped chives and sesame seeds to the rice, I pickled the cucumber, rolled the rice into little balls...made a pretty plate and scattered it with nori and more sesame seeds. And made a picture of it, before I put on the wasabi mayo and soy sauce ;) 

Doesn't it just look nice? Oh and it tasted delicious too! Another thing I am proud of myself for :) 

So, all of you: be proud of YOURself and cya tomorrow!
