Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

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.
