What that means for a woman is pure torture! I have cleaned out my stuff once again. I came home to find that the Captain had pulled everything out of my cabin which is the forecabin in the front of the boat, he piles it all up in the Galley aka kitchen and says I cleaned really good up there with bleach and smiles at me. Hmmm I say to my self this is much more than a good scrubbing this is about the STUFF Scott hates stuff well my stuff if it does not pertain to makingRedletters run properly he considers it rubbish. So I thought well I too am sick of stuff and living in small quarters even though I moved into the fore cabin and have my own space I have to take another look at what I am holding onto and why. Ok so I have a piggy bank that I have had for years I like it but I probably bought it at the dollar store and it has really no significant value or meaning YET she still resides on Reletters. So I go through and reorganize and put away everything only to come back with one garbage bag full and yes it was full of stuff. I said look to the captain lifted it up to the cock pit so it could travel out of the boat into Cindy loo hoo and off to goodwill. He said that is not impressive that is all you are getting rid of???? Hmmm again what is his beef??!! So under the Galley table is 7 pairs of shoes all of a brown color you know the kind you ware with jeans all of which I love and am very fond of! Seriously I don't have a house and I don't have storage Redletters is it. So I began to cook supper and because I was frustrated and a little miffed at this point I grabbed hot dogs! You know how it is when mamas not happy no one is happy! So no fancy meal for this Captain tonight trouble is I don't care what I serve him he is like Oh this is sooooo good thank you! Any way a stab at making him pay for suggesting that I get rid of more shoes. So all through preparing supper I would turn around nibble on something and look at those shoes and the end result I picked them all up and back into the forecabing they went! LOL Yeah I know you thought I was gonna just bag them up and send them off. Well no way I love those shoes and if anything I can personally give them away at some point to someone. Scott says well you will find out once we start sailing how important it is to only have what you need and to have everything stowed away.
So I am trying to get everything ready and I did reorganize and stow allot away I have much more to do but I have to laugh one day if I ever have to move home I will have one suitcase of clothes and that is it and you know that is starting to feel pretty good. I do like the change in me I still have this desire to shop but the anxiety that I would get from knowing I could only look and not buy is almost gone. I see that material desires had such a hold on me and when I think of the money wasted of that stuff I cringe! No matter moving on I am going to keep working on widdeling it down to just like the Captain says just what we need. I can see it now 2 plates 2 forks.... No I love to entertain way to much for that and we have to be able to have people over for a meal. The rest of my day off today will be spent going through the aft cabin that is Scott's cabin and where I keep the linens. I went through the products in the aft head and got rid of what I was not using. I now only use Kay Casperson products and that helps allot because I can keep it simple I am not tempted by the store brands or anything that pops up on the market because I know these products work. That is freedom to know that is one section of the store I don't need to browse in because Kay has me covered. So I am off to finish my laundry and push myself to rid the boat of any and all unnecessary items.
