the giving

i feel as though i can't really commit to this packing thing. i'm not in complete denial, but i wonder if i'm floating on the veneer, dangerously close to diving in.

today, a coworker encouraged me to complete the tasks that seem to weigh on me, both mentally and visually. these tasks include finding a suitable place to donate my extra clothes and technology. i do so want to give them to a place that can use them.

so i took the advice of a dear friend, and called a teen center that she said would LOVE my cool clothes, and since i'm the size of a teenager, so much more the better. i called them up, and they assured me clothes would be much appreciated. i took another pass through my bags of clothes and shoes, selected only the coolest of the bunch, and went on my way. when i got there, there were a bunch of teens hanging out, having lunch, curious about who i was. the person to whom i spoke came over, and was overjoyed when she started looking at what i brought: a baby blue pleather coat, clunky shoes, and other assorted moderately cool things. she mentioned that so many people drop off old sweatshirts, and she was happy to see i was thoughtful about my donation.

after this successful task, i set to researching where i can donate my scanner and printer, and found interconnection, a local spot that uses old technology for training purposes and also has a recycling program. hooray! perfect.

now i need to find a home for my desk.
