There were a lot of junks at my sister's old house - walking distance
to my place - but my useless, twin sister living there is a pain. She
changed the lock - she is in a losing battle competing with me:)- and
it's just exhausting to call and set a time to go there when she is
home. The stuff at the old house were bought by my brother (the baby)
who used to live there (moved to LA). As staples and frys were closed
by, he wouldn't even look for things - even for screwdrivers and stuff
- in the garage and would run to the store. Enough about the
disfunctions in my family:)-

With my rhinitis condition (non allergic), in that kind of room, I'll
be having severe sinus drainage as my body fights unknown particles
during breathing process:)- I keep mimimun things at my place,
minimizing requirement to dust the items. No trinkets and decorative
items like most females keep.
