Is it wrong to be wistful?


Over just a couch? Which, officially, was the first non-futon multi-person sitting device that I bought. Way back when I'd been living in Indy for all of two years and was working on this being a grown up thing, which of course is still a work in progress kind of situation.

This was, as many can attest, a very comfortable couch to nap on. And the matching ottoman was an ideal foot rest, magazine rack, and dinner table to boot. After seemingly forever (I blame the challenge of selling a couch while out of the country/state/etc. And, too, the what-was-I-thinking? strange color palate), I have finally sold this puppy, with folks having actually come over and taken it away...

I needed to sell it, as the rough math was that there was (looking for this photo to show...) about 32% of the floorspace available in the main room, as there were two full size couches in a room that is not, well, full-size. (tall ceiling, though!)

So it has found a new home, and I'll admit, that when the guys that came to pick it up said, "he wants to test it, since it'll also be his bed..." I had to feel as though it was going to be appreciated in its new home.

So the ongoing de-clutter, de-content process rolls on. Slowly.
