I spent time packing stuff over the weekend. I have lots of stuff... a lifetime accumulated and I'm trying to posit where the breakdown should be. Its easy to pack up what you aren't using. My issue is the time line.
Logic says I can't move until Mom is gone. Moving her again would be detrimental to her mindset. So there lies the dilemma. How long?
Do I pack it all up? When I was going to move from Ohio to AZ, I lived packed up in boxes for about a year. And it was OK, most of the stuff we surround ourselves with isn't used in our daily living.
Living with everything packed up for a year or 18 months would be OK. But what if its five years? Ten years? Her dad lived to be 104. And she's 88. 16 more years???????
And where do I stack all the boxes while I'm waiting?? Closets? Garage? Dining room?? Decisions, decisions!
For now, garage it is.
(and yes, I'm using diet coke cases because they're free! and wrapping items in walmart bags because again, they're free! I'm the thrifty sort!!)
