Stuff
Saturday, the roomie threw a going-away party and many of the SOC kids came over. Thanks to Karin’s paparazzi photog skills, almost every moment of the party is documented on Facebook.
Karin was kind enough to include this pix of the mount o’ stuff currently stashed in the living room. There was some talk of using it as a backdrop to take portrait pixs. That was abandoned, thankfully.
What you can’t see is the pet gate around it to keep the dogs from investigating the mount ‘o stuff. Also note all the empty boxes in the front. I saved all my boxes from my previous move and seem to have extras. I take this to mean that I have less stuff now.
This is about 75% of what I own. My closet, bathroom and furniture haven’t made it to the pile yet. The roomie also agrees that this is significantly less stuff than I had when I moved into the Apartment Brought To You by IKEA. I guess I’m at step 6 or 7 of Pack Rats Anonymous.
Moving in 11 more days…
I’m sorry I missed the fun. And, I don’t want to discourage you, just prepare you (as a fellow member of the Pack Rat Club): when I moved a month ago, the last 25% of my stuff that needed to be packed up took up as many boxes as the first 75%. I believe this clearly indicates that the gauge can be distorting.
I hope that the roomie (neat as she is) and your personal progress has helped make it so you can avoid this issue.
Also, if you have a spare bit of time before you go, shall we meet up for a bit?
