Mission accomplished. Well, that little piece of it, anyway.

I took the day off to work on a specific task and, with Richard's help, actually got it done. Let's hear it for small victories.

The task was to get rid of a bunch of stuff. But gracefully, in such a way that the landfills would not be increased in volume and other people's lives might be made better. I like to think that we did that. We loaded up the van with excess furniture and housewares and carted it down to Bridgings, a remarkable organization that provides free furniture and household items to families in need.

If you have usable household items that you no longer need, I recommend this place. It's a homegrown organization, started by one man trying to find a good home for a donated crib. Eleven years later they have two huge well-organized warehouses and recycle 100,000 items per year. I think the same guy, now in his 80's, is still running the place.

Hey, pegkerr, today I get to use a Decrease Worldsuck tag too!

Hurrah! *throws confetti*

I just posted remarking that only three people in the entirety of LiveJournal (including me) have listed "decreasing worldsuck" as an interest on their profile page. (None list "decrease worldsuck.")

We'll have to do something!
