Stuff makes the world go round.....

..,.STUFF makes the world go round...and my stuff, our stuff in this household, seems to multiply according to one rule: THE MORE WE GET RID OF, THE MORE THERE IS REMAINING! IT is an odd law of physics: I toss bags and bags and bags of stuff out, heavy full bags, and yet, I come back into the house and there seems to be more than there was before the toss!! HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN???? And the minutia..the tiny weeny details of stuff...the countless useless things that all seem so vitally required during a time in a certain place, and most of it never gets used, seen or acknowledged as even being there...then ..POOF!!! All of a sudden it is all very present...and it all must be reckoned with. Peter is working so hard today, and it is all we have been doing, both of us, except for a little nap break , during which we watched DE-LOVELY,the movie musical about Cole Porter, starring Kevin Kline and Ashley Judd...a very bad film, boring and sentimental and oddly illogical in terms of character and believability...a poorly written thing, although the concept starting out was so intriguing and promising...it got very very stupid by the end of the movie, and Peter had fallen fast asleep by then anyway...Then, in my continuing effort to use all the food up out of our freezer before we leave, I made us a steak dinner and it was good. We are now working on finishing up the kitchen packing. Good God, we have a lot of loot!!!! I hope our 24-foot truck will be large enough for it all!!! Good God! Honestly, there seems to be no reason for us to go out and buy ANYTHING ever again, except food, for a very long time...We have all we need...!IT feels good to throw out things...to throw away so much...makes one feel lighter! If only that were true. So, anyway: tomorrow is Monday, and then Tuesday, and then, whaddya know: we pick up the truck on Wednesday and pack it..then drive away on Thursday...heavens! Sometimes it feels unreal.
