I still had a bunch of items that Lifeworks didn’t want to take, but that I needed to get rid of before my brother arrives on Thursday.
So I moved it out to my curb this morning and posted a quick email to my Neighborhood Association.

Dear Clarke,
Thanks! It was the fastest garage clean out on record, for me. They took everything! I couldn’t believe it…

I have never heard of anyone giving things away quite like that. How efficent!
I think I will use your tactics for all my ex-husbands stuff still in my garage after 4 years.
ha ha
I’m so very proud of you!! Get rid of that “stuff”!
Good job Jennifer!
Thank you, Angie. Your comment (where was it?) about giving away so many of your things definitely encouraged me.
