And I'm just going to use this list as a segue...

I am being overrun by stuff. I just have too much stuff (surely the fact that decades old magazines are sitting on my beside table tipped you off.)

But the thought of going through all my stuff and getting organized makes me just as uptight as having all the stuff does. 

So I think what I'll do is just go through one drawer or shelf per day and get rid of at least 5 things. 

I really feel so disorganized and crazy lately.

And my brain won't shut off. 

And I want to cast on a million things. Ok. Maybe not a million, but at least 3.

PS: For those of you doing Crafting Poety, I'll be posting January's winner later today.
