Staying put and clearing out

I mentioned a while back that with the rainy weather we're having, preventing us from doing much yard or garden work, we've started an early spring cleaning cycle this year. We've been sorting through things and re-organizing their storage areas. These are some photos of our loft space that I took a couple of days ago with my new smartphone/camera. It's a Samsung Galaxy A25 5G. I'm finding it takes better photos in low light conditions than do any of the four or five digital cameras I have.

We had the loft (attic) converted to living space in 2010. We turned it into a single large room that serves as a bedroom, a TV room, and computer room. A few years later, we had a half-bathroom (sink and toilet) put in up there, mostly for nighttime use.

We spend evenings in the loft watching television, and we sleep up there too. We spend daylight hours in the living/dining/kitchen area one floor down from the loft. I have a laptop computer in the living room that I use all day, and we have a television there for daytime viewing that is smaller than the one up in the loft.

I hope we can stay motivated to get the loft space better organized and to get rid of things that seem to accumulate up there. Do you remember the comedian George Carlin's riff about "stuff" (possessions) and how we all have too much stuff? Even though Walt and I got rid of a lot of stuff when we moved out of our house in San Francisco to re-locate to France, more than 20 years ago, somehow we have just as much stuff now as we did back then.
