Goodbye, bookcases

I gave away my bookcases today. The empty space does make the place look bigger, but I'm finding it hard to deal with. I have to remind myself that I still have the books, but not the bookcases. I know that the idea is to remove the "me-ness" from the place, but it's making me sad.

I'm also throwing out things that I ordinarily would give away. I'm giving away only the nicer stuff because of time constraints.

Now I'm trying to decide whether the cat tree should go down in the garage. I know that the "correct" answer is yes, but it's Harlee's favorite spot. I also feel guilty because this move is going to be really rough on the cats.

Too bad I can't drink -;) I could use a cold one right now.
