Mine is called "Sorrow Mountain." It lives in a storage unit.
Sometimes, I call it the "Mount of Sorrows."
I also add adjectives: "The Mount of Many Sorrows" or the "Mount of Constant Sorrow." (Yes, as in this.)
The adjectives even get colorful from time to time: "The Fucking Mount of Sorrows."
Why do I call it "Sorrow Mountain"?
Looking in with several items already pulled out. |
The items that were pulled out. |
I spent yesterday afternoon there going through about the first third of the unit, trying to bring a bit of order to the process. I was also looking for three items that I really need for a display idea I have. One was right up front, but the other two were right smack dab in the middle of everything. Of course.
I also pulled, and forgot to photograph, a Mazda load and a half to take over to the booth. I've got lots of space opening up, so I figured I might as well fill it.
I was able to get everything put back in an order that will allow me to access a few loads for the next couple of weeks. I found a box of my booth dud books, three boxes of books that I was given that aren't my groove, a box of oddball records, and a box of VHS tapes (both left behind during the Dixie move out). I set them all aside together. They'll be heading to Half Price Books this weekend. I won't get a lot for them, but they'll be gone!
I also put aside in one bunch a couple of boxes of comics that need to be bagged and priced and a few bags and baskets of items that need to go home for sorting and then to the booth. They'll be this weekend's project.
Next to all these set asides, I set up a block of small furniture that is easy to grab and ready to go once I get a bit more free space at the booths. Once I've got all those things cleared out, I'll have a good-sized footprint opened up that will allow me to start sorting through the back of the unit. It was a good start, but only a start.
Oh lordy. What hath I wrought?
This is the face of one who has traveled the Mount of Sorrows. |
There you are :)) At least you climbed thru Sorrow Mountain but crest it....you have a lot in there. I call my spare room the HELL HOLE. Wait , I call the attic that and oh ya the garage.

Hug's from a stranger turned friend !!!!! TT
ReplyDeleteYou survived the Mount of Sorrows and even brought some order to the chaos. I think it's a good thing to get rid of things that aren't selling and just taking up space in your life! I need to get some of my latest junk photographed so I can share! Small finds but a few really good ones!

Horror Monster was quite displeased with me when he saw the the Mount of Sorrows has a storage unit! I know where to draw the line (as long as I can fit it without the hoarder look!) in the house and shed, I can mange to get it cleaned, painted, and tagged and off to the store. I love Tammy's name for her stash and I am afraid I have contributed to both yours and hers. I hope you rested on the seventh day.
ReplyDeleteOK. Def. Sorrow Mountain. Very nicely packed in though. What a huge amount pulled out. Lots of good stock though. Hugs. Drink water, rest too.
ReplyDeleteI think you are very lucky to have Mount Sorrow. My crap is in the house, the garage, the shed, the other shed, the backyard, and right now - even in the car. I need my own Mount Sorrow. But, you slow down and take care of yourself - OKAY????
ReplyDeleteHallelujah!! You have been to the Mount of Sorrow... Is there a patron Saint for the Mount? Don't overdo, the mount will be there tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteThe mount sorrow is now maybe more of a molehill of sorrow? At least you got stuff pulled and organized, that always feels good!
