Down two

[nwhiker]

I finally realised that dh wasn't going to ever finish getting rid of this stuff if I didn't step in. So I did.

Emptied some boxes and got rid of two boxes (one to MIL one to SIL). There is some stuff still here from those boxes for AC, and a big box for donating, but progress is being made.

It's not dh's fault. He gets up at 6:30AM, is "at work" by 8am, and pretty much works non-stop until 6:30-7pm or so. I've been a PITA asking him to go for walks with me during the day, because otherwise he sits all day, and if he does come for a walk, which is great, he usually works later. Once he's done with work, he spends a few hours helping Linnea with computer science while eating dinner. At about 10pm he finally get a moment to check fun stuff on the web. So yeah. Not his fault.

He does, however, take full days off from time to time for trains, so he gets some downtime, but it's been pretty exhausting for him these past few months.

There are some things I can move forward on by myself, even if it's a PITA for me to make decisions, so I'm going to do it, and see what I can get rid of.

Isn't it strange how stuff can sit in boxes just about for ever, because OMG those boxes definitely contain something that just must not be thrown away... and then when you eventually get round to sorting through them, most of it it really IS totally unnecessary and even the "necessary" things aren't really all that essential since you've lived quite happily without them for a loooong time? *eyes various boxes languishing here and there in the house*

LOL, yes! I have some boxes left over from a move out and move back in for a remodel, and I know most of them contain junk. There are a few items I'd like to have: there is a box of music books somewhere and a box of kitchen stuff, both of which I want to track down. And my octopus collection is still in boxes, but they're not in random boxes. The rest, as you said, is totally unnecessary and will probably get tossed when we unpack them. Some day.

This stuff I'm dealing with here is a bit different: it's from my FIL's house and when he died, he hadn't finished going through his mother's stuff, so it's a jumble of stuff people do want, stuff nobody wants, and stuff that nobody wants to make a decision on. I'm becoming Decision Woman. :)
