Well, you were perfect for the job, It is so easy to push it all out of one's mind if there is not a reason to do it.

The starting of a major cleaning is the most difficult part, I feel. It is often overwhelming. Good thing he's got you around to help him with the start and the process.

Uncluttered is good

It allows for good chi. I need to unclutter a lot in the coming months.

When it's your own stuff, your own past in odds and ends, it's simply so overwhelming, you lose heart just thinking about it! He must be very grateful to have someone there who doesn't have all the emotional attachments that went stale long ago!

Good Evening

Kabu, I'm so happy that you are getting things done and the house will feel like a home.  I hope you didn't catch a chill when you were outside.  It's so cold here today.  I was freezing when we went out to run some errands.  I know tonight we will sleep well with our heated mattress pad on the bed.  I'm always happy when it goes on the bed before the very cold winter sets in.  I know it will be a good feeling when you see the dumpster taken away.  I've never rented a dumpster.  Do they cost a lot of money?  We were glad to see our old couch go but I had to arrange for a pick-up from our garbage company.  Fortunately, it was free.

You're right. So much stuff goes from souvenir to clutter because we

just got used to having it there. We'll never miss it, nor will the ones who gave it umpteen years ago.

That "getting started" thing is the worst thing of all.  If I do ever move, there is an awful lot of stuff that is not going with me.
