the great purge

moving always feels like a soul-cleansing process.

what do you keep? pack? unpack? dedicate to a new place in a new home?

what doesn't make the cut?

that lamp i started to refinish that just needs the fresh coat of paint and the trim on the shade? keep. definitely.

that gallon of paint i was planning to use on said lamp? questionable.

that coupon i was holding on to for that one pizza place in pocatello that i thought was awesome, but i now blame almost entirely for the ridiculous weight gain during my stay there? toss. definitely.

to me, it is so much more than casually shoving all of your items into a few boxes and hauling them less than an hour north. it is meticulous.

so, you can see it takes time. it will take more time than i had budgeted. but if you were my husband, and you read this justification, then you would understand why i'm not packed yet. right?
