So. C and I spent the weekend clearing out junk. I've learned that I keep a lot of stuff that I have no intention of ever using!
You would not believe how much of Rags hair I have. Before I had to put him down, I cut his tail so I could have something to remember him by. I think I still have a huge chunk of tail, just sitting there, in a plastic bin. But, I can't pull myself together enough to actually throw it out, so it just sits there. Along with his halter, old lead rope and old bridle bag. I can pretty much guarantee that I will never use these things or display them. I already have a ton of pictures and a shadow box for Rags, but I think H3LL will freeze over before I throw those things out.
I also have a bunch of picture frames. I bought the picture frames with every intention of - well - framing pictures. However, I never got around to finding the "right" pictures, and life got busy so I just threw them in the bottom of a closet. Well, years later, they are still in the bottom of the closet and I still have no intention of using them.
So, anyway, all of Rags' Stuff is back in the storage bin in a storage locker. Although, I was good. The rest of the stuff - empty electronic boxes for when I eventually move again, photo frames sitting on the floor of the closet... all that stuff is on craigslist or in the garbage. I've come to the conclusion that even though I know I'll be moving again in the next few years I don't need to put my nice stereo equipment back in its original box. I can put it in other boxes and it will all be just fine....
But I did gain a TON of storage space. :)
