To be honest, though, without them I'd be happier downsizing. Unfortunately, my partner has way too much stuff I'm not allowed to toss. ~sigh~ I'm currently reading a book that reminds me of you. It's called "Love with a Chance of Drowning" about a woman who overcame her fear of the ocean to sale with the man she loves. She's an amusing writer like you, my dear.
