Having lived in this house since 1987, I had reached the point where I thought I would die here. Not that there's anything bad about that, but...
Unpredictably, we learned of a nearby townhouse/Condo that has everything our tired old bones might like (including an elevator), at a very nice price. It appears that we can sell our house, buy the Condo, and pocket enough for, say, a new car - not that we would do that, but just sayin'.
But the move will be torture. We have accumulate so much STUFF since 1987 that it will take six years to dispose of it properly, while we have about a month to "de-clutter" our house for sale, and probably another month to empty it out. We will be quite foolish in keeping much more stuff than we will ever need (the Condo has a shitload of space), but even so, there is a mountain of stuff to be,
I have tools up the wazoo that I will never use again. Gardening tools woodworking tools, mechanical tools to work on cars, a good snow blower, an edger, electric chain saw, a couple of weed-wackers and blowers. I have an ocean of fluids...brake fluid, automatic transmission fluid, Armor-All, antifreeze, weed killers, bug killers, paints and spray paints, charcoal lighter fluid (4 cans). Nobody wants fluids, you know. Don't throw them in the dumpster (which we will have to rent, by the day). I have unused, and partly used lumber, moldings, firewood.
I'm too old for this shit.

- Sold (good luck with that),
- Donated to H4H and the Veterans groups,
- Tossed in the dumpster, and
- Given away to anyone who wants it.
