Deciding to live small (and move across the country) means seriously simplifying so we've spent weeks trying to ditch the clutter, mess, unnecessaries and inessentials.
Jay made a rule that we had to get rid of an item per day. It became a new form of entertainment to watch people come over to visit and leave with a dart board or speaker system. I thought I'd be sad to see our stuff go but it turned into more of a game where the goal was to end up homeless with no possessions and only the clothes on your back.
What I lost and don't need to find:
1 Queen size bed - I gave it to some street-youth who just got their first apartment
All pit-stained tee shirts and holey toed socks
12 speed bicycle - Gave this one to a bicycle-less bicycle courier (he needed it more than I did)
VCR - remember VCRs?
A bunch of other stuff ... I guess you know the purge was the right decision when you can't even remember it a week later
The best bit - without all that shit in the way, there is tons of open space for Wayne to get his beauty rest.
