Ami's Journal

When I used to live in the midwest, I had a basement. It was like having a whole other house underneath my house. In it, I was able to store all the stuff I kind of wanted to keep but didn't use regularly. Or at all. It was also a great place to toss things that were messy but I didn't feel like putting away just before company arrived. Now I don't have a basement and all those things have been insidiously filling up my house and garage for years. The clutter has been increasingly stressing me out. I just made an appointment for some guys to come haul away all my crap. I know I'm paying someone else to throw away some things that are pretty nice and could be somewhat valuable. But right now, having the space is much more valuable to me than having the stuff. I don't miss a single thing about living in the midwest. Except for having a basement.
