Is There Anything Left...pt 3

[Not Quitting]

We have packing boxes that have survived several moves and many years. They slowly drop off from natural causes or accidents or being left behind with thrift store donations. It's like an archaeological layering of packing tape at the seams.

A lot of my packing boxes are still full of household items I shipped from the UK – Dad’s place was fully equipped so my stuff stayed in the boxes when we moved in. At least I know that I won’t have to go out and buy kitchenware and a lot of other smaller household items when I eventually get myself sorted enough to get into my own place .

Yeah, perfection. phhhhht. I'm already a recovering pack rat, why not be a recovering perfectionist?

As long as you’re not OCD with the pack rat/perfectionist thing. Let me guess, all the pack rat items are stored perfectly . My dad’s a bit of a pack rat but he seems to be improving over the last month or so, as shown by the extra bags of garbage we keep sneaking onto the neighbour’s pile each week – this two bag limit can be a real pain when we’re trying to clean out stuff .

I miss Ground Force. Haven't seen it for years. It was the first BBC DIY show I ever saw when we first got digital cable and BBC America. Charlie could be a distraction, though. She has that famous disinclination for wearing brassieres.

The BBC knew what they were doing when they hired her - how else do you get the male audience
