Today I spent my day in bed reading and reviewing my things list because I have the flu. Not a bad day really as these are two of my favourite pastimes at the moment.
The removed item today is pretty significant. It is the epitome of clutter – something not at all useful but valuable and full of expectations. My orthodontic plate. I’m meant to wear it when I sleep to keep my teeth straight, but that routine went out the door pretty quickly after I moved in with Mi Amor last year. Wearing lingerie to bed = sexy. Wearing a plate to bed = hideous. It doesn’t even fit anymore, my teeth have moved and really there is no going back. I held onto it thinking I’ll somehow start wearing it again and in turn make my teeth all beautiful and straight again – oh so vain. But it’s gone now, and I feel so proud of myself for giving it (and my vanity) the flick. No more seeing it in my bathroom cupboard and feeling guilty about not wearing it.
Also thrown out:
Random papers in bedside table – that was yesterday, but I forgot to mention it. Or maybe I did, the flu tablets were pretty strong and now I’m not sure. LOL
