So there you are, living your life with your stuff. It’s around you and you know where everything is. It may be a lot of stuff, maybe more than you are ready to admit. It’s stored away, and laying around. It’s comforting to have your stuff in sight.
Then WHAMMO. Your house floods. You bring stuff upstairs as fast as you can.. Just grab whatever, put it wherever. The rest of it is floating in gunk. After a week or so, you can go home, but you can’t really live the until they turn the power back on and you have water and gas (they have to replace the gas meters, by the way). And then it takes you months to finish cleaning up and rehabbing space to move all the random stuff downstairs again.
Here we come to “help” you get organized. What must it be like to see all your stuff hauled out of your house on the driveway, sorted and organized and repacked by strangers? 43 years of school supplies, all the Christmas decorations given to you by decades of kids, house decorations you were waiting to sell at a garage sale.
Now you need a tour to find out where these folks put your stuff.. In your own home.
Karen and Jesse saw it as “hope”. Thanks for the lesson!
