"Anyone who has ever cleaned out a closet
and taken stuff to Goodwill knows how liberating it is.
You feel lighter, your mind feels clearer."

The answer to the question in the title is 19 years. Yet I found 4 soap packets with Mickey's face on them from the hotel stay during that trip in this linen closet. In any case, progress was made! Ok, I could have easily done without half of the items that ended up back in the closet, but I'll take it :) I think my favorite part of cleaning the closet was when I hadn't cleaned the very bottom where the cleaning supplies are kept and my mom cleaned it out. Baby steps! Most of the items weren't even donate-able (at least to people, but pets will like the old towels) and a big chunk of trash was expired medicine and travel toiletries from hotels no one has been to in 10+ years and wouldn't even think of using to wash their hair or body. Anyway, the linen closet was cleaned 2 days ago an I'll be stopping back today to see if it's still in the same shape. Any bets on how many items I threw away/attempted to donate (true mom fashion, I wasn't allowed to throw it out or take it with me I can only assume that my parents followed through, but that reminds me I'll have to check the basement too) that made it back into the closet? I'm going with no less than 5.
