Well, today is the final grabbing of things. I'm sorting through all of my belongings and chosing only the best of possessions to take along with me. My space is limited to my small car but at least I'll be able to afford to replace items I leave behind so my bed, dresser, computer desk, and so on are not on the short list. I'll be moving not far from an Ikea, which isn't known for high end furnishings, but good for cheap starter furniture which will eventually be replaced by high end furnishings.
One problem: My books. Which is my favorite? Who is your favorite friend, or sibling, or parent? I have a reason to keep every single one and even if I took nothing else I couldn't fit them all. Ack, this is as close to Sophie's Choice I hope my life ever gets. But, this has motivated me to make a database of my books, like I did my comics way way back in the day.
The drive's going to suck, like it has every time I've done it, but it's got to be done. The greater good waits for me.
