We worked hard today to clear a whole bunch of stuff out of here. The Salvation Army came and took away more than they said they could (thanks guys), which means all of our big, unsold furniture is now gone.
Yee haa!
A young woman came and purchased our bar stools. Lots of meals, conversations, drinks and dreams were shared in those two chairs. Now, just like us, they're off on a new journey. The husband of another young woman we've had lots of craigslist conversations with came to pick up the first load of our office furniture that they're getting for a steal, and they know it. Again, it's furniture that triggers years of memories for us. But, today, we're thankful that someone is willing to give this monstrous piece of furniture a new home.
Even with all the staging, our house is finally starting to feel empty. We have a stack of packed boxes that doesn't (yet) fill a 7x7 foot square in our garage. It looks like we might actually be moving around here. Finally, we have something that resembles a sense of accomplishment with all this.
And, that's a very good thing!

I'm glad you're having a better day today! I read through your last several posts, and can feel for you - I know it's coming for us! We THINK we're getting rid of lots of stuff, but there is so much more lurking behind closed doors . . . when the house finally does sell, it'll be eye-opening. Just a question - what kind of stuff are you adding to your POD pile, and how do you decide? What made you decide to have a POD in the 1st place. My current thought it that if it doesn't fit in the toyhauler, I'm not keeping it (with the exception of a few momentoes that I'm going to ask my sister-in-law to store for me) . . . but maybe I'm being overly optimistic.
