We have filled the back end and second seat of my Venza 5 times so far that we have taken to the land fill to be thrown away, not to mention the numerous trips we have made to the other side of our street laying out stuff for the county to pick up.
We are not permitted to that area of the landfill were wood is tossed out, so we are forced to wait for the county to pick it up which could take weeks or months.
We started this cleaning under the guise that we were going to be looking for a smaller home that required less maintenance, so there was a need to downsize. However, when we looked at the available homes, either the home was not suited to our needs or the price was too high. It is looking increasingly doubtful that we will ever move.
Throwing away stuff that you no longer need or once used is like throwing away part of your life. For 8 years I worked at this organization back in the late 70s early 80s and kept a scrapbook of my accomplishments. Not sure why I did this unless it is just ego building. Those 8 years will be thrown away tomorrow. I did not look through it to remind me of anything as I just want that part of my life to be gone.
Then there is stuff my parents gave me or that I took from their home to remind me of them after they died, but that's been 10 years ago, and there is really no reason to hang onto that because when we die, it is all going to thrown away anyway.
It makes you wonder, why we spend to many years collecting shit when we are ultimately just going to throw it away.
