THE PICNIC BLANKET

I watched an episode of the US show "Hoarders". The hoarder insisted that nothing "new" was to be thrown away. New was the equivalent of "in the box still". No matter if the stuff was ruined. Mouse droppings on it. And it was so obvious it had to go. not to him, but to me.

Interestingly enough I had a picnic blanket on the patio. Basically new. Used twice. Ruined by mouse droppings. After 4 weeks I finally threw it away. Why is it so obvious when I see other hoarders and so hard to do the sensible thing when the things are mine?

surface of the day: basket full of kids' clothes in various sizes

7 a day: picnic blanket (obviously), old swing, kids' clothes, 2 books
