Realizing I was a hoarder was both a shock and a relief. A shock, because nobody wants to have a mental disorder. A relief, because my situation finally had a name. I found people who could relate. Knowing the problem helps solving it. I can step aside and look at the situation from a more neutral point of view. Why am I blogging about it? 2 reasons. 1. Putting my thoughts into words helps me think more clearly. 2. If this helps just one, who is like me, see the light it was more than worth it!

BOOKED WEEKEND

Terribly headline, terrible pun, I know, I know. I just couldn't resist. I spent Friday night in front of the TV amidst mountains of books. I didn't not quite make it through it but finished Saturday morning. The books that can be soldhave been sold online. I am looking at a profit of around 90 dollars if my books pass inspections. By Satruday night I had 2 shipments packed and labeled, ready for pick up. (They were picked up Monday afternoon.)

I found a store that sells used books, and a couple of public book shelfs close enough that dropping stuff off there is an option.

When I looked at the keep pile (it was huge) I sighed and picked out all the books that would sell and packed a third box to be sold.

I am quite happy with myself for letting the things go, but even more for how fast and efficient I was in the process. Now All I have to do is get the unwanted books out of the house and I ave finished this project!
