I cast a spell today...
Sep. 13th, 2008 06:45 pmI cast 'reduce' on the clutter of my storage unit. The spell worked true to form. Thanks to one of my soldiers establishing her own household for the first time, I was able to get rid of all the furniture, save my black sofa (which is MINE), all the kitchen stuff, XBOX, TV, sound system and electronics I haven't used since I've lived in Georgia.
In all, where a year ago I had 4300 lbs of stuff filling up a 20x10 in 74 boxes (or, the furniture, not being in boxes), I now have a sofa and about 20 boxes and five duffel bags of stuff.
The whole situation also caused me to pack up my office (and get rid of what needed to be gotten rid of). The final tally: 1 (pickup) truck load of stuff from the office, 3 full loads from the storage unit, and one of my soldiers saving several thousand dollars on stuff for her house.
If time permits itself next weekend, I may move my stuff into a smaller storage unit (likely a 10x10). Still to come: Going through about 10 boxes of books to make a BIG tax-deductible donation to the post's library...
