My boyfriend and I started Friday and continued today going through things in my spare room that's a catch-all for everything. We've made several bags of trash, sorted a lot for tag sale and we're making progress. The problem is my mother never throws anything away and we have to be sneaky so she doesn't yell at me for throwing things out. She's a pack rat for sure.

When Mum moved out of her small, 2-bedroom apartment it took me 3 days and endless trips with a cube van to a local thrift store and to the dump. It seemed endless.
Then more recently my in-laws moved from a large ranch-style home. Habitat for Humanity took a *lot* of the furniture they couldn’t keep. I hired a junk removal company for the rest coz I could see the task ahead. We filled a 20ft truck, half-filled a second with stuff. Useless stuff. It was enlightening.
