Curious. I just disposed of a pile of papers I could have recycled at any time in the last 20 years. I certainly had no interest in them in the last 10. So, why didn’t I?

I must remember this lesson.

Good for you.

heylisa : Now I remember. I was cleaning out the basement in 2013 when my parents moved the goalpost and I had to put my energy elsewhere. I didn’t get to the fireplace room at all and I became stuck, couldn’t proceed in the cleaning. 2014 I had a heart attack and endometrial cancer.

Ooh ooh, I hit a layer of collectibles! Toy Story!

Grrr. Water had gotten further into the room than I’d expected.

It takes time and dedication to get rid of stuff. And one has to know how to dispose of it. It's not easy.

mimi : That’s probably why my brother wants to chuck all my belongings in a bin; it’s the easy way out. Anything difficult is left for his wife to do. It sounds mean, but it’s probably true.

Yep, likely so.
