The purge.


Had a surprisingly good day yesterday, just packing packing packing and purging...the garage is almost empty. It's hard to believe.

We got all of the rubbish out in one gigantic trailer-load and I have to say throwing it all down into the pit was sooooo satisfying. Videos...like I'm ever going to watch those. Mismatched shoes...didn't know I had so many. Broken appliances that I'm never going to get repaired. The last thing to go was a MASSIVE black mirrored dresser that I bought just before i met ABF. This thing was huge and it broke and became lopsided; throwing it into the pit and watching that giant mirror shatter felt amazing; I felt like that mirror had watched this entire miserable relationship unfold and smashing it was a kind of release....

Today I'll take all of the good unwanted stuff to daughter's school and then I will have an empty garage. That's amazing, after carrying all of that stuff and feeling so burdened by it for so long. Brilliant!!! Getting rid of all my unwanted stuff and downsizing= win.

Good job! I agree, getting rid of stuff feels good. I realized how I can live without a lot of stuff.
