clo_againI just pulled out the two CD boxes that have sat in my wardrobe since we moved up here a year ago, to go through them and see if there was anything I could throw out to make room for the CDs that're coming off the rack on my desk. I figured it was old stuff I'd burnt from the computer or music or maybe CDs of files. Because both boxes were full so there had to be something.
Every. single. case? Was empty. Your normal-size plastic jewel case, around twenty-five to a box. Two boxes full. Of empty cases.
Worse is that I haven't bought blank CDs in jewel cases in years (they take up a shitload of unnecessary room; I buy the CD towers and paper cases instead). Which means that a year ago, when space was massively lacking due to me hoarding everything under the sun anyway, I transported fifty empty CD cases from Wales to Cumbria. And when unpacking after the move, I decided for some reason I may need fifty empty CD cases one day and shoved them in my closet. And bought another CD box for CDs I actually use.
Dear Self. What. Just- what?!
I wonder if I can recycle them. Jeebus, what a waste of plastic.
eta: Just stuck a neon-pink Post-it to a box with the following Sharpied warning:
FRAGILE
BREAKABLES
(BOOK-ENDS, TEAPOT, DALEK)
However, my favourite is still the box with: Contents: HARDBACKS (TOP SHELF), PAPERBACKS (T. PIERCE), JARETH, SOFT TOYS
I wish the Goblin King would come and take me away from packing.I hate packing breakable things; I never have (what I think is) the necessary bubblewrap. Then again, I couldn't fit what-I-think-is-necessary-bubblewrap into the house, nevermind the box. I tend to- overcompensate. Just ask anyone who's had to un-duct tape a parcel I've sent.
