Some of these boxes were from a couple of moves ago, a couple were much newer. But surprisingly I was able to eliminate 7 boxes just by sorting items out that I have places for and putting them away, sorting some items into a separate tote and repacking the remaining contents into 2 similarly old doom boxes that were previously half full as well.

I now have a neat stack of doom boxes and totes where I previously had a much larger wild pile of collapsing doom boxes and stuff stacked on top of said boxes since it's in a bedroom that we haven't used for anything other than storage since my youngest started sleeping through the night, and the cats like to climb on the boxes and make the mess worse!

See I made the brilliant decision immediately upon moving into my house of "I'm going to go back to college!" Nevermind the fact that I hadn't even come close to finishing unpacking, nor that my wife was pregnant at the time. I went for it. It sucked and was terrible timing, but I graduated and now make significantly more working jobs I'm far more satisfied with than I could before

But I've got all of these last minute moving decisions that I never got around to sorting out, so I'm slowly getting all of that squared up now
