January 23, I asked if anyone wanted some very nice chairs and my daughter said she did. She said they would come pick them up in a couple of days. They just live fifteen minutes away.
Since then I have added a beautiful 6 by 8 rug and a very sturdy step stool. She wants those too.
The trouble is that tomorrow is March 4th. and nothing has been picked up yet.
Some people might say, "So what? The chairs were already in your apartment, so what difference does it make?"
The answer is: a lot!
I don't like clutter and I live in a one bedroom apartment. I have half as many clothes as I have space for. I have empty cupboards and drawers. Minimalism becomes increasingly important to me as I age.
I wish I had never offered these to my daughter, but they are so nice and she doesn't have tons of nice things. Had I just placed a free ad in our local garage sale ads, this stuff would all be gone. I could have even sold it!
She swears they will come get it next week. I did finally tell her how important it is to me that it be gone, but I am struggling to remain polite and kind.
