I have made a bit more progress on the downsizing of the junk I cart about. I managed to sort through all the bathroom stuff, the front hall closet stuff, the under my bed stuff, my dresser and part of my closet. I am getting close. I think I just have the rest of my closet and the storage closet downstairs.
Meanwhile the pile of things to dispose of properly is also being whittled away at. Drop the no longer needed clothing in the good will box. Toss the ragged carpet. Take out at least a dozen bags of out dated, expired, no longer valid stuff. Shoot. How did all this stuff get into my apartment?
Drew just shakes his head and makes a beeline for his room lest I ask him to participate. He is doing his part by going through his stuff, but he is not of a mind to let go of things. Just package it better. I can see I need to buy a dozen plastic tubs. That will make moving easier anyway. Good thing there are some garage sales coming up! I sense a hefty donation ahead.
I have promised my kids that by the time I leave this world, they will not have to break down anything of significance to dispose of. Hopefully I will have a suitcase of clothes, a few precious mementos, and my Bible and Divine Hours. Maybe a lamp and my glasses. That's a trick if you can manage it. Especially since I am partial to being comfortable while I am still kicking. Well, we shall see. Meanwhile, I do feel unencumbered and light hearted if nothing else.
