Clean Up

Don't know which poses a more formidable Pesach preparation, getting rid of unsuitable food and offering the refrigerator its annual scrubbing or divesting our many surfaces of paper which impedes that component of cleansing.  Paper everywhere, stuff everywhere, usable empty containers everywhere worth filling.  Clear plastic peanut jars have made ideal receptacles for my many pens.  Peanut butter jars are shorter and therefore less versatile.  Can put a few small things into the leftover prescription bottles, particularly the transparent amber ones that allow you see what they contain.  Corrugated boxes of various types are also potentially useful, but most would be better served in a recycling bin.  Pesach means decluttering, one of the lasting benefits of the Festival.  It separates me from being a true hoarder.
