When I owned a home I had a garage. And an attic. Heck it had all kinds of storage. Now that I’m an apartment dweller, I’ve got more than no space and less than home space. My storage unit has been a nice buffer. I thought this was going to be my last emptying.
Nope. There is just too much stuff still! I forgot about my daughter’s clothes and Nick-knacks too. But there’s a mobile gasoline/lp gas generator I don’t want to give up and a bunch of books I can’t throw away…
My car is full with two guitars, a plastic bin with lots of pictures and albums, a printer, and many coffee cups, hats, and books shoved in nooks. It’s full and I’ve got my suitcase, backpack, and gym bag in my room. 🤔
I’ll make it work. I want to stop by Costco tomorrow and look for deals on computers. I’ve got a $163 credit with them. I’ll get coffee and some golf clubs if nothing else! 😉
Then breakfast with the Boys before heading back. Linda refuses to talk to me. I talked to them last night and the three of us agree on the specifics of my side. So there’s no problem with us three and our relationship. We’re working out a gaming schedule. Maybe Tuesday and Thursday WoW Classic? Eve Online? 🤷♂️
I’m proud of my sons. They’re strong in ways I never was. When they say (and especially when they do) things that are responsible and adult-ing, I am confident for their future. They’re going to be fine.
Everyone is Doing the Best They Can 
Apartment living encourages you to decide what stuff is important to you. I am glad you were able to get both of your guitars and your personal memorabilia.
It sounds like it was a good trip for your relationship with your sons. Congrats. Relationships with grown children can be wonderful. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine.
I miss you. I look forward to your return.
