Speaker 1 (00:00):
Yeah, they talk better than they say.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Tell me.
Speaker 1 (00:04):
These are the radio blogs on the Thread show. Okay,
waiting by the phone from the Hall of Fame in
just a second, throwback thrown out oney, one hundred and
fifty bucks. Okky, if you don't lose between now and
next Friday, then you're gonna have like fifteen hundred bucks.
I need it. Let's see what happens. We'll playing in
a little bit our audio journals. We call them blogs,
(00:27):
like are writing in our diaries. I haven't done one
in a while. I'm gonna do one, dear blog. So
I have a friend who's transitioning industries and she is
now in the organization game. Okay, she's a professional organizer,
this person. Okay, Okay. Now, as you know, I've amassed
(00:49):
a bit of a collection of things in my home,
and I have the dreaded closet. I have the dreaded
closet that I've been talking about for years. I talk
about it in therapy even It's a closet that is
just full to the brim, and it's like a little
bit of a walk in like not much maybe like
four feet deep three feet deep by like four feet
(01:10):
like a little walking closet. You can't even open the door. Well,
you couldn't until I finally two weeks ago, went in
and took absolutely everything out of it and threw most
of it or donated most of it, threw most of
it away or donated because here's the thing, I had
to open it. I haven't been able to access that
room in years because I guess, you know, I move,
and I just anything I didn't know what to do
(01:31):
with or didn't want to deal with. I just put
in this closet closet, right, But it just became so
like even I mean, people come to the house like
let me see this thing because they've heard me talking
about it, Like let me see how bad it is.
I'm like, you can't see how bad it is because
you can't open it. So anyway, so I finally address that,
So now like talk about cleansing. You know, the closet
is now accessible. So this friend of mine is like, well, yeah,
(01:53):
that's what I'm doing now, because I caught up with
her the other day and she's like, that's what I'm
doing now. I'm organizing. I'm trying to start this business.
I was like, or I guess I said, I said
you used to start a business. I think she's working
for someone else. But anyway, I'm like, you know what,
I want you to come organize my house. You come
organize my house because you know whatever. So here's what
I'm doing next week. She's coming and doing my kitchen
(02:13):
and I'm not even gonna be there. I'm not even present.
Would you Here's why I'm going with this. Would you
allow someone to go through your stuff and organize it
when you weren't even there? And the reason I can't
be there or I can't be present for this is
because in order to do this properly, everything has to
come out, and I can't. My OCD will not allow that.
My anxiety. My anxiety will go nuts. And then the
(02:36):
next thing she's gonna do or the closets, and that
I'm physically leaving town for that. Like she's one of
the only people I trust. To give her a key
to my house and just be like, when I get back,
this will be done. Would you do it? Would you
let someone just go just start to finish, just go
through your stuff, because she's not going to throw anything
away per se or not without you know, asking me
if she could throw it away because I've done most
(02:57):
of the throwing away. Now I just need to figure
out how to make it if patiently fit, because I
don't really have any method of doing that, nor do
I have the desire. And so, you know, would you
let someone go through your stuff, organize it without you
even present, and then just walk back in and it's done.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
I need this bad, like I need it bad now,
so I'm not the only one. So before I was like,
I could never nobody's going through my stuff. Right now,
I need this, Like, just come let her take the wheel.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Okay, well then you can be client number two.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Then I guess we'll be for real, depending on how
much she charged now right, well, you know, I've.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Looked into this before and I can't afford it. No,
I've looked into this before. It's very expensive. But this
friend of mine is willing to do it for me. Like,
you know, I pay her whatever because I think she's
relatively new to it. So it's like in whatever, so
I don't have to pay the mark up of my friend.
So I was like, let me throw you some here,
do some work. I would love it, and everybody wins
with this.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
She's able to pretty much toss anything and you can't
say nothing about it, Like she want to come in.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
She's not gonna throwing away without like sending a picture
of it to me and being like can I throw
this away or whatever? But yeah, I mean, I'm sure
stuff WI get thrown away, but shes gonna findtuff I
didn't even know I had.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
I was going to say, like, maybe it's better you're
not there, because you're gonna find like t shirts from
you know, two thousand and five, some remote you did
or something right with the radio station. I have found
that side, and you're gonna find excuse to keep it though,
and we don't want that anymore. That's what's me urge.
The let her come in, don't even have her text
to you. I don't like that, just put it.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
I don't know that I want her just throwing things away.
I mean, just in case she doesn't know what it is,
because you inevitably you're gonna stumble upon something that you know.
I have my grandfather not in the kitchen, but I
have my grandfather's old aviation logbooks, like when he was
a pilot and stuff. You might look at that and
not know what that is and be like I don't
know what this is, and so I don't need anyone
making executive decisions I want to throw away. But I'm
(04:38):
all for this strong encouragement that like, hey, you don't
need this anymore. But the thing for me, though, is
that is the trust. That's the thing for me because
I know myself and I know that it would it's
going to make me so uncomfortable to be there with
all my stuff all over everywhere. So I'm just saying,
Jesus take the wheel.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Can just do it anyone else in your apartment before,
like for a long period of time without you there. No, Okay,
So it's a big deal that you trust.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Her, But I think that's the only way to do
this because the closets are gonna be stuff every I
don't have a very big house. It's a very like
it's a two bedroom condo. It's not big, so there's
gonna be stuff everywhere. I can't live like this, No
you can't. But it's gonna be so nice when it's done. Yes,
it's gonna be so nice when it's done. It's like
it's like name your price, lady, Like I mean, you
know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
You're gonna feel lighter. Your house is gonna feel clean, right, yeah,
I feel sexy, and credit score are gonna go.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Yes, my credit score is. You're gonna find credit in
the closet existed. Now I'm not gonna know where anything
is for a while, but that's okay. More Fred Show
