For the second time this year I drove my luxury vehicle, a 1999 Chrysler Cirrus, from Virginia to New Hampshire and back. I took the time at the end of my stay to tend to the old room. My cleaning spree did not last that long. I tore through my room in about 90 minutes. I filled the trunk and backseat of my car. I skipped out on part of my New Year's weekend plans to ensure that I could make it to the transfer station on Saturday. then I filled the car again with stuff to take back to Virginia. This was not the slow, methodical process that is the starting point for most of these posts; nor was it one of the numerous times I set things aside to get rid of, only for them to simply inhabit a different corner of the room. I was driven after having an experience that was both new and familiar.
For the first time in over five years, I had to sleep in this room.
Everyone in my family was home for Christmas. My brother and his wife were in his room, formerly known as the main living quarters of my Penthouse Suite. My sister and her family were in her old room, which I had secretly dubbed Storage Room B. That left my fiance and I to maneuver around each other in about six square feet of usable floor space. For four days. By the end, I was itching to clear out some crap.
I snapped a handful of item specific photos as I cleared everything out. Those will make their appearance eventually. For now, here's a brief series of before and after shots.
