What you think about grows! So…remember to be very careful what you think about. After we dropped of the first load to the storage facility I commented to Walter how I could not imagine having a storage locker filled haphazardly with stuff. I’ve seen the show on TV – Storage Wars. Supposedly the Canadian equivalent had gone to these units for one of the shows. What they look like when someone opens them…not very organized.
I shared how I could not imagine this. Walter reminded me that we do it, just not on such a large scale at once. If we were to look around the house prior to the purge, we would have had 6 or 8 boxes filled with a dump and run clean up for when someone was coming over to visit. The mess you’ve allowed to accumulate must be cleaned up and in some cases there just is not enough time to do this properly. So….we stuff it all in a box and put it in the crawl space.
These storage lockers are just a bigger version of what we’ve been doing. I explained I still did not understand. He then explained a few scenarios which may help me to see how someone could drop and run with stuff in a haphazard way.
Low and behold, this morning arrived and I was not ready with another trailer load of stuff to move to our storage unit. I texted my brother’s wife to explain he may need to come a bit later in the day, then I just went to work (almost) throwing stuff into bins and stacking them. Turns out I only needed an extra hour.
BUT then this evening it hit us hard. Tomorrow was our last day. We need to be done this evening…Where are the bins? Quickly and carefully start throwing things into the bin and hope to remember what’s in there once it goes into storage.
The interesting thing is, our storage locker may look organized, but the stuff inside…not so much!
