Boxes, Boxes and More Boxes.

Sadly not of the "Being Packed" variety. However, I have begun the very long, painful task of downsizing things. One of the things that makes this hard is just the fact that I am a rather bad pack rat. However, I am attempting to be rid of that bad habit, and hopefully gain some free space in my room (just so I can get -new- junk ;) ).

Now. One of the things that I've noticed thus far is just...not being able to justify tossing out things. That is to say, things that are not easily classified as Trash. I have on problem at all tossing papers and broken items into the trash/recycle bins. However, what is hard is just simply justifying throwing out books in good enough condition, trading cards annnd....other various things like that. So...I suppose stuff that is still usable, or that a fair bit of money was spent on.

I'm sort of hoping to find these items a good home....largely been eyeing up family members who I am fairly certain would happily take in the stuff. Though I suppose the thrift store down the road would also be a good alternate source.

At the time of this post I have managed to (semi)successfully declutter my closet, the three boxes used to raise my bookcases annnd...several other boxes under my bed. I have also made a tiny dent in my books, though these will be gone through again once more things have been brought out of storage, or down from my Mom's place.

My room at my Mom's.....*shudders* That is like a black hole of chaos. Buuuuut that's a whole other blog post. For now though, I am diligently working on my room here in preparation for the incoming chaos and hope to soon see some nice, sparkly organization!
