Quest: Organize all the stuffs also known as cleaning

So one thing I will need to do before I go on my epic adventure is go through all my stuff.  Get rid of stuff I don't want anymore, and organize what I will want after my epic journey.  Yesterday evening I started and have continued today cleaning out and going through all my stuff in the garage.  No where near done, but can I just say oh so therapeutic.  I have half filled the recycle bin with just old paper and notes and readers that no one would want to read.  I have two boxes of old text books to go up to school because maybe someone there will want them.  These are mostly the ones I have kept because as an instructor it is sometimes nice to have equivalent books to pull problems from and I realized that I have never done that, so goodbye basic math through calculus books.  I have added more things to the give away pile and have started organizing my string/yarn collection.  I have some for weaving on the big loom, and some for the little loom and some for crochet.  The big loom will not be going with me but my mom expressed some interest in doing something on it while I'm gone, so I want to be sure all the stuff for it is in one place, so she can use it.  Little loom may come with me and may not I have not yet decided.  Crochet stuff is definitely coming, I will need crafting projects and books to read and other things to do when I don't have internet.  I plan to take at least a couple of my unfinished hand work projects with me, because if I can not find the time to do them on this journey, maybe I need to find them a good home with someone else.

I have pulled some fabric for some of the projects I want to do before this journey and I am ready to get started on them.  I need to organize the stash more but for the most part I think it will stay here.  I do plan to at least do a drive through of California this summer so I know I can change my mind and pick things up that I want or drop things off that I don't need.  Or when I finish an unfinished project, I won't feel the need to go out and buy another project, I'll just wait and pick up the next one when next I go through.

But I think my nose is done with the garage part of this project for today, I can not stop sneezing.  Laundry, re-ball yarn and start on the organizational tool of pouches, I think is my job for the rest of the day.

Do you have a Kindle or Nook or e-Reader with WiFi? If so, you can download eBooks from your local Santa Barbara library without having to worry about being 5-0 miles away when the book is due.
