Breaking up housekeeping, as it is called. I've been in this house for more than half my life and I'm not young. I've enjoyed collecting - everything. The hard part is not deciding what to take, what to pitch, and what to sell. The hardest part is the doing of it.
I worked for two weeks sorting it all. Most of what I want to keep is packed. I've made close to $1000 in two days of selling stuff, and the amount of trash the sanitation engineers have picked up in the last few weeks has gone from one bag to six or eight a week. Why can't I tell much of a difference? The main sale items have been furniture pieces, and that certainly shows, but the place is still packed.
The really big question is what to do with the items that do not sell. Most people say trash them. Do you think that is environmentally correct? Of course not. The left over furniture and other trappings would take up a large hole in the ground. Should I throw my tv away? It hasn't sold. Giving it away would be a better choice. Okay, how do I do that . . . in less than two weeks?
Meanwhile, there's planning and making the big move. Nine out of ten people say I cannot U-Haul it by myself. That confuses me. Do these people not realize that my CDL permits me to have a regular bus route with 30 screaming kids on board 5 days a week? Maybe they forgot or never knew of the many times the boat trailer backed into the lake with Ronnie sitting in the boat, not driving the pick-up.
What really bothers me about those n'er-do-wells is that they have put doubts into my mind, and now I probably won't be able to do it. That's happened in the past, you know.
take a deep breath, now slowly exhale, only a little longer, you can make it, go, go, go
shut up, i'm going already

Receipts from '73, huh? Nice
You CAN do it. Don't listen to us. Bill only worried about the driving because of your knee. I'm not worried. Also, if you have room to bring it, we'd like the t.v. :) Love you!!
