The Rain

Today, as it was raining, I was unable to do much in the way of yard work. Instead I worked on getting my baggage that I carry around with me under control. For someone who can furnish a whole house, I really don't have that much stuff, but I want less.

The rule of if you haven't used it for a year then you don't need it doesn't work for me since for the last two years the places I went to have been fully furnished, equipped, and up to date. So even though I haven't used my dishes in two years, I still need them.

But, some things I do not need are:

• purple bowling shoes with a 1.5 inch clear platform block heel (but what a conversation piece they are!)
• pages of BAD writing from younger years
• a beautiful multi-coloured coat with a gorgeous lining that simply doesn't fit me and never did
• 24 Christmas crackers

I also ran into some stuff that I probably shouldn't keep, that breaks my heart to see it, read it, or think about it, but because it brings this out in me, I cannot get rid of it.
