... but that's not a bad thing. The past four days were spent washing clothes/linens, sorting, throwing stuff away, and organizing. I've vowed that this time I won't just move my mess to my new apartment. I have also decided that:
1. There is absolutely no reason for me to go to the Dollar Store 3 times a week. You cannot imagine how much Dollar Store crap I threw away - it was ridiculous. Possible fly in the ointment: there is a Dollar Store literally around the corner from my new place which I'll have to pass every day. Yikes.
2. I do not need to buy socks, underwear, or t-shirts EVER AGAIN. Seriously - I have enough Hanes products to last me well into my golden years.
So I will finish up packing this week and try to get everything moved to the new place in the next few days. My major problem is transportation - because of my credit situation I can't just rent a van, I have to find some kind of mover. And that isn't necessarily cheap.
BTW - yesterday's Hoarders marathon on A&E was an extremely effective tool in motivating me to throw stuff away.
