I want to say up front that I hate packing.
So I am starting the packing process. At this time I am dealing with a big ol' pile of comic books. Yes, I buy comic books. I love 'em. I also have too many of 'em. I have seven boxes designed to hold comic books and probably need five more. Since they are unsorted, I have to sort them before I can pack 'em up. I've been doing this for a couple of days and I'm sick of it. I'm going to try to find a dealer who will buy most of what I have, and hope I can get a reasonable price.
While I've been at this Sisyphean task, I've also been kicking around what it will take to pack the rest of my stuff. I'm leaving behind much of my furniture. It's bachelor pad quality stuff, if you get my meaning. Southern Belle has a very tastefully decorated two story house. My crappy furniture has no place there and I give it up willingly. The exceptions being my entertainment center (which is very nice) and a few bits of furniture that Southern Belle is interested in doing something with. She's quite a crafter.
The rest is the big question. How much "stuff" to take? Some of it will be given away and some of it will be thrown away. I'll take all my dishes and see what can be of use. What can't will get tossed.
Decisions, decisions.
Did I mention that I hate packing?

Oh, I remember the packing very well and hate it just as much.
ReplyDeleteProbably more for all the moving I did when younger.
What I took when I joined my mate-
clothing, linens, books, games, music. If I had to move now, I would have to take my paper crafting and angel collection as well.
Keep it simple, but reflective of you.
