[Lekooks] Help clearing out storage

[Wendy]

I have been going through 16 years of stuff as I’m moving out of Hartland
and Rhiannon off to a dorm in Madison. I’m 80% through it. It is very
challenging physically and emotionally. It seems to be the hardest thing I
have ever done.  My hard earned wisdom at this point is “When in doubt,
release it out” meaning gift, donate, garbage, recycle. Don’t second guess.
I didn’t take that advice at first. I fought it and went over the edge. I’m
still there.  I soon realized there were whole categories of items I didn’t
have to delve into at all. Out it went. Hope that helps!
My time and health were more important than the stuff, the memories, memory
substitutes, projects I didn’t get to, yet or one day or soon. Out it went.
I picked a few categories that I wanted to concentrate on in my new place
and the rest was released if it didn’t fit into the vision. That helped
simplify the process.
I have a deadline to be out of here so our remaining stuff has had to get
put into 3 storage units over the last 2 weeks. And tomorrow I may have to
start the 4th one. Thanks  to a brutal mercury retrograde I couldn’t get
into my new place as planned. I still am not sure when I can get in... yet
I have to be out of here.
When you rent from U haul ( a small cheap trailer or a big expensive truck
) you get a free month of storage at a participating storage center. You
have two years to use it and you can gift it to someone else. I have three
units so far for one month - all free.
If you can’t you get through all of your stuff by the deadline, maybe rent
a small truck for the day and move what is left to a free climate
controlled storage unit at uhaul for another month. Sweetest deal in town!
I asked for the biggest ones available (10 by 25).  You can continue to
sort in air conditioned comfort and take some stress off yourself? When my
moving nightmare concludes, I can help if you need a ruthless pinch hitter.
I’ve been binge watching Clean House and it has helped me get efficient.
Easy does it!
