Update…..

I’m about 80% done cleaning out my closet. I have 3-4 bags of clothes and I also have a box of stuff like old purses and a brief case to donate to Hospice . For Ebay I have a whole basket full of NWT (new with tag) men’s button down casual shirts. I’m going to get them ready and list them on Sunday afternoon.

I still need to clean off the dressers and my messy desk. Already my bedroom looks twice as big as it did before I started cleaning and I have to tell you, it feels wonderful!

I got an email from American Express Blue and my balance transfer with through! Woo hoo I went from 14.9% to 4.99% until the balance is paid in full!

I sold two books on half.com yesterday. That’s another $17 that I can apply to my credit card debt. I’ll probably wait until the end of the week to make that payment, just in case I sell a few more books.

I bought the paint for my daughter’s bathroom and I’ll be painting that probably this afternoon. I went with Walmart paint - it’s such a great deal and it really is nice quality paint. I’ve purchases expensive paint in the past but I really don’t see any benefit to using expensive paint, I don’t even think it covers as well as Walmart’s paint. For $28 my daughter is going to be getting a nice fresh bathroom. I choose white for the ceiling and trim. I choose “Suede” for the walls. It’s a light grayish tan color. I’m hoping to make the tiny bathroom have an expensive spa type look and feeling.

I feel as though everything in my life is really coming together. I feel like I can breathe again, I’m not a prisoner to my bills or my clutter. I’m back in control!
