National Old Stuff Day 2025

I remember going through the old storage building at Grandma's and "plundering". In retrospect I wish I had never indulged. It would have been far better to leave her stuff to her and not bother it.

She never got angry with me about it — but I have had regrets since those days. Particularly since her death and those various things left unsaid left to taunt me in my old age.

Today is National Old Stuff Day.

It is observed on March 2 as a day for the cleaning out of closets and garages. It is also a time to rediscover old things you may have forgotten and to generally declutter your existence.

I think the accumulation of things over time calls for a little organization.

I used to frequent thrift stores until I began watching Paranormal Caught on Camera whereas I became afraid of items to which there could be some paranormal attachment which might make me regret the purchase.

Suffice it to say that I don't indulge thrift stores anymore.

Anyway, regardless of whether you do or don't today is a day for your old stuff to come to the fore and be dealt with one way or another.

Good luck with the sorting and decisions on whether to keep or dispose ...

It's your call and I certainly wouldn't deprive you of that ecstatic pleasure.
