Downsizing

This, apparently, is what downsizing looks like. An older couple with a few boxes and a plant. I found the photo online here.

Downsizing is an incredible amount of work. I fully appreciate why some people decide not to move. It really is a lot of effort.

Our house is empty now, for the most part. Still a fair amount of stuff to work through yet before we close the doors for the last time at the end of June.

I have found that downsizing can be a very stressful and emotional exercise.

The toughest room for me to deal with was my recording studio.

Last week it looked like this:

And now?

Sold.

Waiting for the new owner to come and pick it up. Like most of the other stuff in our house.

I’ve told Lorraine that I am very excited about what happens next. And I am trying to manage my emotions as we go through the process of getting ready to go out on the road and experience new adventures.

The time between now and then? Well, let’s just say that I will be happy when it is all behind us.

Maybe like the couple in the photo above. That part of the job looks finished for them.
