You're welcome. Glad it helps. Moving is no joke, no matter what. I try to give away 27 things a month from around the house. Sometimes it's more, sometimes less, but I have found it very doable. And for a while we thought this was the year to put our house on the market, but now my hubby is facing major heart surgery this week and it's a loong recovery. He says he won't have what it takes to make all the repairs and do the fresh painting (he's a DIY guy extraordinaire) before summer, and we're in no rush.
Having considered it , though, made me start pitching stuff with reckless abandon. Well, maybe not reckless--more like careful but I was determined not to hang onto anything that brought me down instead of up. Things that didn't fit my body, my style, my house, whatever. Out it went, and the liberation is contagious.
Think also how much $ you'll save if movers don't have to pack and weigh the stuff you don't REALLY love and want to keep in the next house.

Thank you. I get sidetracked real quick but I can stick to this for 15 minutes a day. I'm hoping 15 minutes by the end of the week leads to 2 hours then to 4 hours. I only want to move what I want to take with me. I don't like cleaning out and unpacking at the same time.
