First Day of July

One goal I set late last year was to have the apartment empty by July 1st. That did not happen.
Three big projects to get done; Comic Books, Toys, and Paperwork.

COMIC BOOKS
I started on the Comic Books a while ago. There has been little progress towards selling the books. I have sold some of them over the last two years but no dents have been made. I need to get going on a new aspect of the Comic Book Project. That is going to be time consuming. At least that is one project I can work on when I am not at home. An internet connection will help me transfer the data from one program into the other program. I am hoping that a good deal is offered from the company I contacted. A good deal and the company takes all the books.

PAPERWORK
I made some progress at the beginning of June on the Paperwork. I took some vacation days where I just stayed at home. At one point I was taking out several bags of trash every day. The only stuff that was taken out was shredded paperwork. And I still have 4 feet of paperwork to scan and shred. There is a lot of paperwork in 4 feet.

TOYS
Wednesday I took a lot of pictures of the toys but did not make any progress towards emptying the apartment.  I have procrastinated too long. This project should have been done 6 months ago. Yet I waited until June to get started. Batteries for the camera ran low so I reshuffled locations of the toys. I emptied one side of the closet into the kitchen. I moved the stuff on the one side of the closet to the empty side and put the stuff in the kitchen back into the new empty side of the closet. Not quite as well packed as it was but at least I have pictures of the individual items on that side of the closet. Now to do the shelf and start unpacking the Taco Bell boxes. Those boxes have been sealed for 16 years. If the timing is right, I sealed those boxes in 1994. Who knows what the inside of those boxes will be like after all this time.

GO TIME
Thought about the project all this time and did nothing about getting rid of this stuff. Purge time is go and 20 days until my vacation starts.  I am going to be working my ass off for the next 20 days.
