A new month and 30 posts!
« on: February 01, 2018, 12:40:30 am »
Feb. Came way to fast and i'm starting to pack for my move, I lucked out and am only moving about a 1/4 of a mile down the same street i live on now, so I don't have to give up my beautiful view of the Mississippi River,  Have you ever moved ? Packing is insane, funny how much stuff we collect over time.

Moving is really when you discover just how much stuff you actually have. It really can be insane. And even moving 1/4 mile away, you still have to move all of it. At least you get to keep the view. Well done!

I, personally, moved 4 times in my life and 3 times with my parents.  the worse move was going from a 7 room apartment to a tiny 5 room house where a 9x12 carpet was wall-to-wall carpet, then our 1-bedroom bungalow where 7 rooms of furniture had to fit in 1 room (living room/bedroom combination.) until we built the edition.   :)

Moving is no fun, once it happens and ends, then you're glad it's over with.

We moved alot when I was a kid, I have lived in my house now for 40 years and I start getting rid of stuff when I retired last year. It is a slow go.  This year I will do all of the closet.

I hate to move, I am trying to buy the house I live in now for the past 13 years and I don't want to move.  I will get mover this time, but just packing things up is a job.

I never knew I was a packrat until I moved. My God did I accumulate a lot of stuff over the years. My favorites were handwritten letters, but it's not too practical to hang onto them so I ended up letting them go.

Boy, you are exactly right!  However, about 3-4 years ago I went through my clothing and realized I had way too much stuff.  I was having trouble finding a place to put it all.  I still have a lot but I threw out/donated about 3 garbage bags of clothing and 8 or 9 shoe boxes (I keep most of my shoes in their original boxes).  Funnily, last week I went through some papers and either threw out or shredded what amounted to a full paper grocery bag of stuff.  I still have a few more papers to go through.  Then I have to re-organize it all.

yes I hate the process of moving but I'm hoping that once I get my taxes that we will be able to move. I am so looking forward to being closer to work and driving less
