One Car Family

Well its official now.  The NX is gone, she drove away packed to the top, with the new owner just about 10 minuets ago.  Im now back down to just one car.  Feels odd.  I liked the security of having multiple cars around just in case.  I dont know why, cause Ive only used it in an emergency once.   It was nice having that safety blanket thats for sure.  But, it was just another thing sitting, taking up space, taking money, requiring time…so it went.  Think I may go see what rental car coverage will cost on my insurance and just use that.  I have full coverage on the Altima still, may keep it that way and see what that extra bit will cost.  This is a start of life zero I hope.  First decluttering.  I let every piece of SR20 related junk go with the car…I felt no reason to keep it.  I dont plan on owning another one so why keep it?

Now…what to do with more of this junk…now can i find a way to make 500 quick dollars to pay off one of my nagging loans.  And i do mean nagging ;)

Reduce clutter, how?

I really want to figure out how to clean up my life/apartment/workspace of clutter.  This is a lofty goal I do believe.  I am a packrat by birth, so its going to be tough.  The idea of throwing something useful away is tough.  Items will find a way to be needed the moment you get rid of them.  So how can I go get rid of things right before I need them?  First thing to go I think will be old computers.  Im going to put up a post here soon to the Nashville list to give away this stuff.  Things that dont get taken away, going to go get recycled somewhere.  After that is going to be my desk I think.  Its too big.  With my idea of getting an iMac, this huge L desk needs to go away.  Ive liked it since I got it, but I just cant justify it anymore.  I dont sit here as much as I once did, and all it does is collect junk.  Couch and loveseat, I dont need them so think they will get gone, get one or two comfy chairs and thats it.

Now will I actualy go though with any of this….who knows.  I want to tho.
