Lidt tættere på flytning - A Bit Closer To Moving Out

Selv om jeg har fået udsat min genhusning til midt i februar, er jeg  alligevel i gang med forberedelserne, som jeg har nævnt før.

Jeg har bl.a. solgt nogle ting. For nylig afhændede jeg to små tasker og et sæt med 3 vaser, som jeg egentlig har været rigtig glad for. Glad for skal oversættes med, at jeg synes, at det var gode ting.

For taskernes vedkommende har jeg altid syntes, at de var lækre. Men når jeg har skullet noget, hvor en af dem ville passe vældig godt til mit tøj, har jeg alligevel taget den taske, som jeg normalt bruger, fordi jeg enten ikke gad at flytte ting fra den ene taske til den anden, eller fordi jeg var nervøs for at glemme noget, hvis jeg har været nødt til at sortere indholdet, fordi tasken var mindre end daglig-tasken. Så jeg har kun brugt dem ganske lidt. Til gengæld har jeg har flyttet dem fra sted til sted et endeløst antal gange.

Vaserne købte jeg som en indflytningsgave til mig selv, da jeg flyttede ind her for 7 år siden. De fik fast plads i køkkenvinduet og har aldrig været andre steder,selv om jeg havde mange planer med dem. Der har heller aldrig været blomster i. Jeg købte dem, fordi jeg elsker gult og grønt, og de ville matche nogle andre ting, jeg har i mit køkken. Men reelt stod de der bare. Det var noget, jeg faldt for, og det kan forhåbeligtlig få mig til at tænke en ekstra gang,næste gang jeg falder for noget. Der er jo mange, dejlige ting der ude, men jeg behøver ikke at eje dem alle sammen.

Selv om det her er småting, så er det præcis de ting, der tager pladsen for de ting, der bliver brugt. Så hverken tasker eller vaser bestod flytte-prøven, der består i, at jeg forestiller mig,  hvor tingene skal være, når jeg skal flytte i min genhusningslejlighed, hvor jeg skal være ca. 6 måneder.

Begge de nye ejere fortalte, at de havde ønsket sig lige præcis de tasker/vaser i lang, lang tid, og jeg har jo bare haft dem liggende/stående, når jeg ikke lige har flyttet rundt på dem eller tørret støv af dem. Så de er ikke savnet.

Somme tider er vores ejendele bedre tjent med at få nye ejere, der rent faktisk sætter pris på dem.

Even though that my rehousing date has been postponed to mid February, I am preparing for the move, as mentioned before.

I have sold some things. Recently it was two small bags and a set of 3 small vases, which I have been quite happy about. Happy should be translated as, that I thought, that it was good things.

Regarding the bags I have always thought, that they were really smart. But when I should go somewhere, where one of them would fit well together with my outfit, I have chosen the bag, I normally use, because I couldn't be bothered moving stuff from one bag to another, or because I I was nervous about forgetting something, if I had to sort the contents, because the bag was smaller than my everyday bag. So I have only used the bags very little. Compared to all the endless times I just have moved them around the house.

The vases were bought as a house warming gift from me to me, when I moved in 7 years ago. They had a permanent spot in the window sill in the kitchen and have never been anywhere else, and they have never been filled with flowers, even though I had big plans with them. I bought them, because I love the colors green and yellow, and they would match some other things, I have in my kitchen. But they actually only stood there. They were something, I just fell for, which hopefully will make me think twice before buying something like that again. There are so many beautiful things out there, but I don't need to own them all.

Even though this is just small stuff, it is exactly what takes up space in a home for things,which actually are in use. So neither the bags nor the vases passed the moving-test, which is, that I imagine, where the things are going to have their place, when I move to my rehousing flat, where I am going to be for approx. 6 months. 

Both of the new owners told me, that they have wanted exactly these vases/bags for a long, long time. And I have have just had them lying/standing around, when I just didn't moved them around or dusted them. So they are not missed.

Sometimes our belongings are better off with new owners, who actually appreciate them.
