the rules of moving, in excerpt:
- throw it away.
- if you can’t bear to throw it out, you have to wash it before you pack it. if you don’t want to wash it, throw it away.
- if you really don’t want to replace it, you still have to wash it before you pack it.
surprisingly, this system works pretty well. if you don’t care enough to want to wash off the dust, you don’t care enough to move it, and it therefore gets trashed or donated. if you feel it would be wasteful to replace it just because it’s dirty, you shame yourself out of being too lazy to wash off a little soap scum.
i’m beginning to think i might actually have this stuff under control, and might conceivably be ready for the movers to show up at 0900 wednesday. might.
