I’m busily cleaning out the apartment, as in, all the things I have not used in a year or more are going into a pile in the garage.
I considered selling some things, and I may yet throw a collection(s) of various games and software on ebay…. But I’m thinking many of these items served me for a while and retired to closets, and that we only ever pay for the use of them, and part of being responsible is to be conscious of when it’s time to let things go so someone else who needs them can use them. So many items are going to head for donation sites, to be exchanged for receipts.
My old PC/digital camera already have a home - a friend who still has Windows ME (!!!!!) will be adopting them once I reformat the hard drive and install fresh versions of the software.
Lots and lots of old craft stuff is heading out of the apartment, or being set aside for re-use in new projects. And I have dusted off the sewing machine - I just ordered a quilt kit to make a backpacking quilt. The mummy bag I have is not as warm as advertised, and the zipper getting stuck wigs me out in the morning - I’m somewhat claustrophobic, and add that to having to pee and not being able to get out of the bag? Panic city.
Yes, I’m still planning to move. I have another job interview on the twenty-second. I have quotes from moving companies, of the do-it-yourself and four-guys-with-tools sort of job. I lean toward four guys with tools dismantling the washer/dryer and wheeling out the refrigerator. Being able to load the pets and electronics in the car and let the guys lock the garage door when they’re done and ready to roll has a certain appeal.
Now I’m going over to visit the puppies, order pizza, and watch movies for the house sitting part of the day. I have half a crocheted vest to re-do.
This is called “keeping busy so the supervisor made of fail won’t drive me crazy.” Supervisor is currently vacationing out of the country. Must be nice. Of course, the few of us who are not in her “in” group did not receive advance notice of this, so any needs we have in the way of supervision get left for next week….
I am also planning a backpacking trip next week - a three day weekend coming up.
