Today we did a little junk swapping. Oh, I suppose we could call it treasure swapping. After all, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure, right?
Every so often Team Sublett goes on a jettisoning rampage. We have a pretty high tolerance for the accumulation of, ahem, stuff. I have been known to exhibit hoarding tendencies. I’ve even caught myself in the middle of an internal debate about how I should keep that bit of ________ because I might find a use for it someday. I know, the first step in overcoming is admitting that I have a problem.
Today it was a foosball table, a drum set, and an upright piano that needed to fly the coop. The foosball table was the hot ticket item. I posted on Craigslist, Freecycle, and the ever-popular social media site BookFace. A few hours later the foosball table was gone, the drums were spoken for, and the piano (probably) has a new home. I was pretty pleased.
Of course, we offset our deductions by adding a second upright freezer to the fold. Our logic: we plan to eat for the rest of our lives, so we’ll need some place to store the copious deers that Team Sublett will whack and stack in the months to come. Plus our friend Kim needed to get the freezer out of her basement.
On the whole, I think we made out pretty well today. Oh sure, there’s more stuff that needs to find its way to the curb (or your house) but we’ll see how long we can go before the cleaning gene rears its head and we have to start carrying awkward/heavy things up several sets of tight stairs.
Anybody want an oak entertainment center?
