Slow Weekend

I didn't do much over the weekend. My husband was out of town and I mostly just watched movies and called old friends and family. This was my last "free time" for a while since now I will need to get busy packing up this house! How do you pack up 36 years of 'stuff?'

I have become a sort of pack rat over the years and I have a lot of stuff that should be thrown out. I hope that I will have the courage to do just that, instead of packing it in yet another box to be stored in the attic. I have things in this attic that I brought from our last house and haven't touched in 12 years - the whole time we have lived in this house. And it's not heirloom stuff, just things that I didn't have a place for or want to use in this house. I didn't throw any of it away because I still liked the items and thought that "someday" I would be able to use them again. Well, I don't think that time is ever going to get here, so instead of throwing it away, maybe I should try donating it. Maybe someone else will have a use for it. As the saying goes, "One man's trash is another's treasure!"

I have some furniture that my son in Florida could use and we are trying to figure a way for him to get it home. I think he might fly over to help us move and then rent a truck and take some stuff home that way. It sounds like a good plan.
