The to-do list continues...

Luckily, we don't have to pack up our own stuff. The Navy movers will come in and do it all in a few hours and then we'll be sitting in an empty apartment later in the evening. Easy peasy. However, this means they also see all of your stuff and will pack all of your junk, even your trash if you don't keep an eye on them.

So today, I took an entire bag of trash out of the house (mainly stuff that hadn't been used in 1+ year(s) and had no resell value....like nail polish, hotel-sized toiletries, tea lights, etc). We also can't take any food or liquids, so all of it has to be eaten or thrown out. I feel like I could still fill at least 2 more trash bags.

I still need to get rid of the following items:

- both cars (1 truck, 1 car)
- surfboard
- upstairs TV (36" old style)
- TV in storage (13" with VHS player built in)
- old coffee maker
- 2 bikes (one working, one trash)
- patio furniture (including fire pit)
- pet rabbit (so sad, but he can't come with us)
- upstairs desk and chair (? - not sure about this one, have to talk to John)
- mattress (mattresses in Japan are a lot thinner and fit easily in their small doorframes)
- couch (once again too big for a Japanese house)
- charcoal grill
- random items in closet
- plants
- all alcoholic beverages, including are incredible wine collection with 7-10 year old wines

Okay. What I can't sell, I can set out near the dumpsters and people will come and take it for free. I know it sounds gross, but the dumpsters are our apartments are jackpots. Everyone puts their free items out there and people just come and grab the things they like.
