Use Up Year
@useupyear.bsky.social
An idea I keep trying to get back to of Using Up the Good Stuff. Obviously it's taken longer than a year.
I can tell it's the end of the year/start of winter. My brain has flipped entirely into the "you need to go through everything you own and reevaluate it"....

Time to get back into my tea stash now that it's not miserably hot every day.
Plum Deluxe does delicious blends, though I wish I could filter their site for no Rooibos.

Finished more tea today! Palais des Thes in the flavor Big Ben! I am making a legit dent in the "tea that is already open."
We will please ignore the shipment of tea that arrived today. Kthxbai

Four years ago I started thinking about a Use Up Year. The first thing I called myself out for was lotion. It's taken four years to work through the backlog. This is the last tube. I seriously thought it'd take me a few months.

Finished a bag of tea! Now that I've rearranged and have all the open stuff in one place, finishing that first (or at least hoping I will -- it's easy to grab from that bin first!)
Palais des Thes is Very good tea.

Today in "wait there's more"... Going through the kitchen to pull out the single use aluminum trays.
Should be Very Set on these for a year, possibly longer.
(It does/does not help that they are usually in 2-3 packs and I forget to use the 2nd one).

But also notice how quickly they flipped that switch. If they could do it once they can easily do it again for any platform they choose. Welcome to digital hell.

The phrase I kept saying Friday as I was rearranging the tea cabinet.
It's actually something I've said about several things when trying to sort and clean things recently. I need to use things up.

I got a whole bunch of hedgehog socks from friends and they've become my house socks.
I've already entirely worn through the heels on the pair I'm currently wearing. Less than six months and these aren't in heavy rotation.
Use it up indeed.

Today's goal is to see if I can get at least one small doom box sorted and put away.
Can't use it up if it's buried in a box
