Hello all!
Do you remember that infamous broken treadmill that I've been complaining about on my blog since 2022? To be fair, I've been upset about it probably since 2018, but I didn't introduce it to you all on my blog until 2 years ago. If you'd like to remind yourselves, the previous posts about it are here: Declutter Challenge 2022, Declutter Challenge 2023, and
I was upset that it was broken and nobody was going to fix it and it was taking-up a ridiculous amount of space in my house. We were basically using it to stockpile other junk on top of. Here are a couple of photos to refresh your memory:

And do you remember when the treadmill had a new friend join it? Yes, a broken exercise bike was added to the family too. We didn't have enough room for it so just left it in a doorway. Fun times! Pic below for a reminder:

Well ladies... after 6 years of asking my husband to get rid of the treadmill... it finally happened! I still can't really believe it! But perhaps 6 years is the magic number. Maybe I should simply stop stressing-out about my unheeded requests and just relax and wait 6 years. Sounds totally reasonable.
The good news is that both the treadmill and the exercise bike are successfully out of the house and I can start cleaning/decorating those rooms to my satisfaction. I'm really excited about this. Woot!
The bad news is that both the treadmill and the exercise bike are now waiting in my husband's garage for me to call someone to come pick them up. We have a person in town that picks up broken equipment and either fixes them up himself or uses them for parts. We prefer this so we feel like we're not being wasteful by throwing these things away, if someone has a good purpose for them.
But I think I'll wait awhile to make that phone call. Perhaps 6 years...
