Is there anything left....part 2

[Not Quitting]

It's kind of a "slow bleed" with me - just in the fact that it's taken him this long to actually get around to picking up more than the bag of clothes and his computer that he took when he left nearly three months ago.

I don't have to worry about the big ticket items - the house and everything in it furniture-wise belongs to my dad so neither of us have any claim to any of that stuff. All H is packing up is a few ornaments and gadgets, four shelves worth of books, a couple of tool boxes and the rest of his clothes. We scheduled last night and tonight to get it all done. He's already stacked some stuff off to the side that is being donated to charity. I gave him two nights because he works shifts and I want to be there just to keep an eye on what is actually being taken.

He's already said that some of the clothes he doesn't want any longer so I just said add it to the stack and I'll call one of the charities next week for a pickup. By that time, I'll have had time to go through S13's clothes and pull out the stuff that's too small for him now - and my wardrobe as well while I'm thinking about that. May as well make it worthwhile for the charity. S13 also has some books that are too young for him - they can go as well.

And with H taking his tool boxes, it meant I was able to use my duplicate keys to the locks as a bargaining chip to get his house keys back, since he was reluctant to part with them - in case of an emergency he said. My answer to that was "if it's an emergency feel free to kick the door in".

Look TTD and MH, now I've started my decluttering plan . I'll just have to use MH's timer method and 3-minute rule to actually get it started.
