It's been a while since I last posted. I have been struggling with the mass of possessions--it never stops. This holiday weekend has been so good for me. I have managed to make some headway. I dismantled my old computer, with a great deal of regret. It has been a teriffic machine, problem free, and I hated to put it away. I will have to find a way to clean the hard drive and maybe transfer the data to my laptop. But already the desktop looks cleaner and less cluttered. I boxed up the printer and the monitor and have both of them stored in the closet. I can't imagine that there is any sort of market for them, they're that obsolete.
But simply getting that corner of the office cleaned out has made me feel lighter and better about my life. Like I have at least the illusion of control. I even began the enormous project of categorizing and filing the music I have. It's time to shed old tapes and maybe even CD's. Now that some record companies are no longer going to make them, I guess they will go the way of the vinyl LP's I have stacked on the floor. What to do with them?
I think I maybe am getting in control of this possessions steamer trunk. Funy how just the smallest bites add up. If I could maintain this level of ambition, I might be able to transform that spare room into a place where someone could actually stay should someone actually come and visit me.
