Just Plain Ole Tired
and you can barely make your way thru the Dining Room as there are bags and bags and bags of "stuff" going to charity
My side (1/4th of a wall size closet) basically was just clothes - I kept one size downwards and the rest went - my days of Size 8 are long gone, and if I ever get there again, will happly go clothes shopping. And purses (I could have assembled a herd of cows with those). And the linen closet - 35 sheets, some sets, for sizes of beds we don't own. Gone..
But SO's side, omg. I never go in his side so had no clue as to how much "stuff" he was squirrling away. His mother keeps sending him Sketcher shoes. He's never worn them - I think I managed to get him to let go of 7 pair. A hugh pile of tools that should have been in the garage and not our bedroom, packages of Tshirts (they are not my size he says)
Yoda stuff (we have the den entirely devoted to his Yoda collection - mmm - about 1,000 items and here are like 200 more. Two unopened VCR's machines, Racing cars, airplane models to be assembled, a bottle of some kind of Jet Fuel
DVD movies he had forgotten he bought (a month or so ago he decided to build a spinning sided dvd holder - a big honking thing that holds 600 DVDs. It was full and overflowing BEFORE the closet clean as it is) Enough medical supplies we could open up our own store - braces of every imaginable part of your body..
He is a little tramatized this morning - last week he sold his hunting knife collection cause I wouldn't let them be brought into the house - some of those suckers were big enough to gut an elephant. Why he needed bayonets from some war or another (complete with dried blood still on them - ewww) A footlocker FULL. Man's never been hunting in his life. easy child was upset with me cause he says I "made" SO get rid of them. Its not like he got rid of the collection of Samari swords he still is holding on to..(and they aren't comming into my house either)
I don't know what the facination is with stuff that is used for killing.. But he got to spend almost the whole day at the military collectible store and came away with a nice sum of money and was a happy camper..
I am going to give him a few weeks break and then will start on the garage next
It was nice to be able to go to bed last night and not trip over "stuff"
