PACKING, CLEANING AND PACKING

We have carefully selected our times to be shipped. Those which we deemed salable we tried bringing them either to Once Upon a Child. The rejects were given to the Salvation Army.

We tried selling Gold Eagle but can't get a decent price until we finally donated her to Salvation Army to. Fortunately, they pitched her for $750.00, good enough for us to be satisfied.

Indeed, no matter how we packed and sorted out our things, we always found so many others to be desirable to be left behind. Thanks for the shortage of money, we had to really limit our takes.

Until the day we were about to leave, we were busy cleaning and packing. We made a resolve to clean the apartment so as we could get our deposit whole and intact. I was not even able to sleep for reasons of excitement and fatigue. I was hoping that I could rest when we get to Texas.

Thankfully, Elaine kept here promise. A week after we left, she sent out our deposit check. Money that was able to save us for our first month.

Indeed, even if you promise to pack light, yet with all the stuff you have in life, you can't help but to bring them in. Here, you can't really live simply, unless you deny yourself from most of the things that you really don't need in life.
