The End of an Era
I’m feeling good about the progress I’ve made with packing and such. But I’m also realizing how little cargo room I really have in my car, and am still trying to figure out how to maximize that space and what I need to ship that I had been planning to take in the car. Over the weekend I packed up my dear old stereo that I’ve had since junior year of high school, and it became readily apparent that it wasn’t worth paying $90+ to ship it to NJ and that I also can’t afford to have half my cargo space taken up by four boxes of stereo components, so I posted it on craigslist and sold it to a guy named Lew. I’ve been pretty enthusiastic about getting rid of stuff, but this was a little more poignant. It feels weird to have gotten rid of it, but I know it was the right decision. A nomadic lifestyle doesn’t really fit with a massive stereo. I know it doesn’t fit with 13+ boxes of books, either, but that’s another story.
