Hmmm...well, my friend who might have been able to place the old couch cannot take it, so I need to call Goodwill...

I find that my mind is hesitating...I've had that couch an awful long time, and the chair with it..the new couch is nicer, comfier, fits the room...dynamically, looks great in its spot...

And yet, I'm reluctant to get rid of the couch I had..and the comfy chair with it...

Now, I'm sure this goes into my "Despising even small changes" mode, but it's not something I think about..there is no way I can keep it, I want to put my dining table back into place. I've still got a few others way I can re-arrange that section...so, I ought to just get rid of it.

The good news is, Good Will will apparently come pick it up...a must for me. Am just wondering if there is anywhere else that would..

And, of course, my Grandpa Smith is speaking in the back of my head, saying "You paid money for that couch, Boy, why donate it when you might *ahem, MIGHT* be able to sell it and at least get your money back, if not make a profit".

Grandpa's been gone for at least 13 year, I think it's more like 14...yet I can still hear him. Urgh.

So, here in a short while, I'll be examining Goodwill's page, and seeing when they can come get it.

Do you have a friend you can borrow a truck from? With the exception of cars, Goodwill can take a long time to come pick stuff up.

I know what it's like to be attached to an inanimate object-- I'm still having donator's remorse about my car. But Goodwill is a good charity, and donating to them is tax-deductible. (Which is really only useful if you donate enough to itemize, but hey.)

If I itemized my taxes, that'd be good...as it is, I'm thinking of giving the receipt to Drew, and donating it in his name...and then he takes me out for a nice dinner next year. :-) I'm going to see if I can borrow a truck, and take it to the Goodwill...I think that's what I'm left with. Thanks. :-)
