I find great satisfaction in seeing how nice the storm drain looks now that it's clean.

I wish I could thank that guy.

The storm drain on our corner gets clogged all the time...carp flows down the hill into it. When it's clogged it's like a river down there.

Surely that sparks no joy in you. Have you considered tidying it?

If that storm drain was in front of my house I would tidy it.

I figure if I use something several times a week, its sparking some kinda joy. Its the other stuff I have to think about.
I agree tidying is a waste of time - which is why getting rid of stuff is a good use of time - it greatly cuts down on future tidying time.

OT and I should pre-write the ads for Altoid, and store the text with the 'stuff', so she only has to post it ' cause a lot of it aint going anywhere.

Talking to people "after Kondo". Kind of a mixed bag of results.
