packing is not fun.
sorting is not fun.
throwing stuff away is not fun ... why is all this stuff here?!
cleaning up after the packing and sorting is sooo not fun.
donating or giving away things is fun if the things are going to someone who is happy to get them and not fun if someone acts like they are doing you a favor by taking them. (odd!)
example: 8 five-pound cans of coffee, assorted teas, packs of sugar and 1/2 and 1/2 to the local community center/grange - totally appreciated = fun
4 gold-trimmed wine glasses, a king size quilt set (these items were mine but make me sad), a waffle maker that sticks because i scrubbed off the non-stick (bad seashanty) given to a local girl getting her first apartment - she asked for these items plus many more but now it's 'oh, soooo many people are giving me things it's ridiculous' = not fun
smashing a bottle of champagne given as a wedding gift was cathartic fun.
smashing a few dishes that belonged to ex-partner was WAY fun. said partner is due here any time now to inventory the place so i must hide the smashing evidence!
