Now, I’m not a person with a highly organized storage system under the stairs. My long- term position has been one of cognitive dissonance; holding two conflicting thoughts in my mind at the same time. The tension created by knowing that I should address the mess head on and my mental insistence that I avoid it has been dealt with by not turning on all the lights at one time. However, the threat of flooding forced me to change that. It wasn’t a pretty sight. How can I possibly have that many cartons of old paper? What totally useless stuff. Why have I dragged it all around wi th me like records from the Vatican Ar- chives? Then there are the boxes of old pottery from the 70’s. The hockey bag full of CDs that haven’t been interesting in forever. The broken ornaments, empty wooden boxes too neat to throw out and at least 100 odd computer cables. It goes on and on and becomes just embarrassing to relate. I shouldn’t waste the energy trying to save this hoard of old junk. I should open the window and welcome the flood right in. Now, of course, there will be no flood. The excruciating reality is that the justifica- tion for getting rid of all this is back in my own hands again. It all needs to be ex- amined and sorted and hauled out of there. What seemed an imperative just a few days ago is back to being a matter of procrastination and denial. It will lurk on the periphery of my psyche like a little gremlin, taunting me with recriminations for responsible deeds left undone yet again. Clearing it all out is both tedious and bor- ing; that’s why it never happened in the first place. However, on the bright side …. I did save all the yarn. And, I’m not the only one with this problem. There’s probably going to be one heck of a big community ga- rage sale this year. I’ll need to make more room in my basement. JK
