The big goal for today was to go through my storage unit here in San Diego and remove as much as I could. The best case scenario was having the unit with only things I want to donate, and to make a long story short, we accomplished that goal. I couldn’t believe how much crap I had in there. There were lots of things that brought back memories, and it was a little sad to leave so much behind.
Lynn came along to help me and we were able to load my parent’s minivan – it is a full vehicle. I had to make some tough choices on some furniture, but I haven’t needed this stuff in the last year, and I am really planning on living in Japan for the long term, so it made a lot more sense just to leave it to be donated. Still, it was a bit sad.
We got back from loading the van around 2 o’clock, and I took Lynn out to lunch at Rubio’s to thank him for all his help. With only 12 boxes left to move in storage Nancy drove me over there later and I was able to completely clear the unit of stuff that I didn’t want to donate. I do have a lot of boxes that I need to go through once I get to Glen Ellen. Some of that stuff would be nice to have, and some could be tossed.
For dinner we decided to go to Lido’s pizza, and I really enjoyed chowing down on the pizza there. The waitress was quirky – it was her third day of waitressing ever, and she forgot a few things and acted a little strangely sometimes. Still, overall she did a good job and the meal was excellent.
I went to bed early after that – another exhausting day!
