Congratulations on your progress! It is hard to donate things one has had a long time!
This was hard because it was expensive at a time when I didn’t even have a bed to sleep in, and only a small used TV set and a blind kitteh. But I was working, and I knew better days were coming.
However, the time has come to pass it on to someone else. I think I bought it in 1993, so it’s been a fixture. But, as I said, it’s time to let it go.
Now, I think I’ll sort out the storage closet and then wait for FedEx to deliver the book boxes. I’m sure I’ll need to buy more, but I would rather do it in small batches, just to keep a handle on how many boxes I actually pack.
right now, I’ve only packed 20, but if my supposition is correct, that means I’m about a quarter done with the job!
