I have 4 small duffle bags and 1 large duffle bag and I can officially be packed and gone in 2 hours if I wanted...Although I'm like 8 months away from leaving.

I've downsized EVERYTHING to just some books, a few mementos, shoes, clothes and a few electronics.

Everything else will get tossed, left or given away in June...I might actually do another sweep soon and make it even smaller.

One thing I learned from real Convicts working in the prison system was how to do time and keep things neat and tight.

When I first divorced and moved out years ago, this was the room I rented and all my belongings:

I am embaressed that I have gone buck wild buying sneakers lately...There's things I'm packing now that are brand new, never used, still sealed so when I leave, I'll be leaving the old and starting fresh.

I will keep a few personal items...Maybe I'll put them in a little box...Something to peek at...Smile when I see them.

Letters from my father and mother...Old pics of them and my furry babies that have passed...Old pics and journals I handwrote...Tiny army soldiers I kept from when I was a baby...Silly things that don't mean much to anyone but me =)

I'm spooked with all this economic/covid bullshit happening...I'm hoping to get my place before everything goes:
