Moving day

Today we moved out. Or at least, it felt that way. We rented a Uhaul and moved out some of the biggest furniture that we had to clear up some space. We took out our king-sized bed and put up our queen guest bed in our room. We moved out the piano. We returned the treadmill we'd been borrowing. Several other awkward-sized items went too, like my bicycle and a computer desk we'll be selling. And a ton more boxes, mostly for the garage sale but some boxes of pictures & other memories items we're not ready to get rid of just yet. It was a lot of work, but it feels so good to get rid of things. I think this stuff-purging is getting addictive.

We're actually thinking now about selling our car too. Why keep a car we won't be driving for two years? We can always get another one later when we need it. We kept it when we moved to Thailand for a year, but that made a little more sense since we kept very little else and figured we'd need a way to get to job interviews and potential apartments. But if we could sell it now, that would be nice since we own it outright and it could help with cash flow issues. And all the reasons we had for keeping it seem pretty silly anyway. It's just a car.

My garage sale pile is getting rather enormous. I sure hope people want to buy this stuff, because I don't want to have to rent a truck again to take it all to goodwill.
