My Inventory
of all my junk
I lived in a three bedroom house for 12 years. I filled it to capacity. Then I moved to a four bedroom house in 1999. Shortly thereafter, this house was also filled to capacity. Then, in 2006, I bought a 2nd home, a small, two- bedroom weekend home by the water. That house quickly became filled but I made an effort to keep it at a minimalist level. I was successful at this endeavor until I decided to sell my primary house and downsize to the smaller house. This house was now filled to capacity and the shed in the backyard was jammed full of junk that should have never been moved from my main house. I should have gotten rid of this stuff long ago.
So, for the last four years, I have been trying to get rid of my junk but to little avail. No matter how much junk I give away, more junk keeps popping up. I can't get out from under all my stuff.
So I am going to move in to a small, one-bedroom apartment and then I am going to call Purple Heart and tell them to come and get all of my remaining junk. I can't wait.
But I still have too much stuff:
