Thanks bb, it comes in waves, you know? I think what set it off was waking up about 2:00 am and not being able to stop the rumination. The enormity of the task, so many things to remember to do (lists!), and, if I want my deposit back (um, yeah, hopefully) all his crap will have to be out of there too. And there is nowhere for it to go. And I will not leave to destruction irreplaceable items (I will move carefully selected items with me if need be). If there is such a thing as cheap storage, it might be worth it just to gain time to go through it.

Consider too that lil 'ol me has no car and the rainy season has come. Collecting boxes is an ordeal enough.

I keep trying to envision the settled afterwards to keep me on track...
