So, we’re doing some renos and saw this…
Why is that speaker built into the inside of our house? What is it doing there? Why would anyone put a speaker into the guts of a house?
The questions abound.
We’re selling our home. Last time we moved, we didn’t really pack until the movers were knocking on our door and it was an absolute disaster. The mere mention still causes me to shake with apprehension.
This time around, I wanted to be ready to go early. So I started getting rid of ‘junk’. It’s incredible how things collect around a house. Especially when one’s husband is afraid to get rid of anything.
My lovely hubby is a therapist and he doesn’t just have compassion for people in pain, lost animals or charities, he’ll rescue anything from an old school record to pictures of flowers.
I’ve found his dental records. From when he was 12. And paint, from our previous house. And tea lights…about a thousand of them.
Then there were the keys…
They seem like perfectly good keys and bring up the point: what do they open? We get in and out of our house and cars without their help so are they from our former home?
I wanted to throw them out while hubby was busy but that’s tricky. In my efforts to get rid of junk, I’ve thrown out valuables before. Once, we were almost stuck in Mexico because I threw out our papers to return–no joke.
Then there’s the fact that those keys will be useless if I leave them, but if I throw them out, they’ll open the safe with our passports or the next home we purchase. They might even haunt me or something.
No. It’s much better if I put them all into a little ziploc bag and leave them be. They’re obviously happy making their home with us.
My hubby would be proud…except if he read this post he’d also be suspicious.
I’ve thrown out those tea light candles.
