I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

It's warm and humid here. Less hot since the thundershowers passed. I walked over to the farmer's market and bought all my shopping bag could carry. Now I just have to make sure I use it instead of letting it turn into expensive, organic, locally sourced compost.

I have a 10K spending limit on a credit card and no balance on it, but I cannot transfer a balance to it - I find that so odd.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Do people know about Pack Up + Go? [link] I'm intrigued.

I turned 5 boxes of things to be dealt with later into 3 boxes of things to be dealt with later. But it is going to take an actual tardis to find a place for all my books.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG, that sounds amazing.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I feel you, sj. I culled books like crazy before the move, and I still sent nine boxes (small U-Haul moving box size) to the public and local volunteer libraries, plus gave some things away directly.

Man, I hated doing it. But I realized I'd never read a lot of that popular fiction more than once. Kept were the things I've reread and tend to turn to as comfort reading, or art and lit, a lot of books of correspondence, journals, and poetry, and things like Sagan and Cousteau. But the fiction definitely took a hit. And I've been pleasantly surprised not to miss any of it.

It stings a bit, but it's worth it, I think.

Even things I know I won't read again have to go through the "will TCG read it" test and the "do I think it is important for ltc to read this someday" test.

Oh! How fun.

I so need to do this, but even more don't wanna.

Spent the day in shower and wedding planning stuff. Photo booth tutorials, recipe gathering for shower, and dress for me planning. I think I am going to make my dress. Looking at this pattern [link] with this fabric [link] - I'd like to have some sleeve, but still as airy as possible for July in Florida outside.

That's so pretty, Laura. And sounds comfy for July.

I turned 5 boxes of things to be dealt with later into 3 boxes of things to be dealt with later.

I did similar - combined 4 plastic bins of things to go through and most likely sell into 2 and then did sell a small grocery bag of video games and pokemon cards at the used game store - $13.

Also took another grocery bag of out-of-date medicines to walgreens. And a bag of bags to the Target for recycling.

Not a ton actually out of the house, but 3 bags is 3 bags.

Much more to do tomorrow. Specifically filing the two piles of paper still needing it.
