Slowly but surely I've been working on reducing my number of possessions. On Sunday I went through what remained of my books (I'd already given hundreds away) and made another culling!
...and started putting aside books to donate. We'd just found out that Stuytown wanted to increase our rent again and decided to find a new apartment instead of renew our lease! (Over the next few months, I ended up getting rid of hundreds of books! But not before dragging most of them to on to another apartment).
