Posted on July 10, 2014 by joshdaddy

Nineteen. There–that doesn’t sound like too much, does it? I walked around the house today and counted up the number of pieces of furniture that still need to be loaded up into the pods. So now I’m thinking to myself: … Continue reading →

Day 179: Hesitate

Posted on June 28, 2014 by joshdaddy

OK, “hesitating” doesn’t really sound too much like living deliberately, but hear me out on this one. I was up super-early this morning to get my son to his training camp. Then back home, to pay some bills and to … Continue reading →

Day 178: Seal

Posted on June 28, 2014 by joshdaddy

Whoa, that’s a ton of stuff! I mean, literally. That box is supposed to hold 2000 lbs, and I’m guessing that’s probably a pretty good estimate of how much stuff is packed away in there. It took several weeks of … Continue reading →

Day 177: Overlook

Posted on June 26, 2014 by joshdaddy

And I mean that word quite literally, as in: actively not looking at something. In this case–that box of notebooks and papers I just pulled out of the attic. OK, I did peek–very quickly, though. The box contained essays I … Continue reading →

Posted on June 9, 2014 by joshdaddy

Day 151: Disinvest

Posted on June 1, 2014 by joshdaddy

Somewhere around five o’clock tonight–as I was straddling the intake duct on the heat pump in an attic well over 100 degrees, wrestling with a disassembled, solid oak crib–it dawned on me that (once again), the day had gone somewhat … Continue reading →

Day 146: Vary

Posted on May 26, 2014 by joshdaddy

Today was a smorgasbord of downsize activities. With so much to plow through, I thought it might be easier to hop around from one task to the next. A little variety to keep things interesting… and to keep me from … Continue reading →

Day 145: Age Out

Posted on May 25, 2014 by joshdaddy

We tackled the kids’ clothes today. Well, two out of three kids, at least–but we did start with the hardest first: our eight-year-old fashionista. In theory, thinning out the kids’ wardrobe should be easy. After all: as long as they … Continue reading →

Day 144: Declassify

Posted on May 24, 2014 by joshdaddy

To be honest, I really wanted to call this entry “defile,” since I’ve already set a precedent of bad puns for titles, but I just couldn’t bring myself to do it. My wife and I dug in deep today. “The … Continue reading →
