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!
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!
