Getting Ready For Staging

One of us is expected to wear a shirt and tie daily for work. So . . . we have tried to choose a variety of shirts and ties that have to potential to mix/match. Of course all of them must be packed. We are happily on our way to 80 lbs of luggage for him.

Stacked on top of this dresser is two years of clothing for a female volunteer. Daily work attire is to be a skirt or dress. Dresses are not as flexible as a skirt and top so no dresses. But since transportation to work is a bicycle, then pants that come below the knee must also be included. Now I am on my way to 80 lbs of luggage.

And where will most of our weight originate? With "items" such as those seen. Being as anally retentive as we are, we have begun an inventory in a spreadsheet to be certain we don't forget anything we intended to remember. You know, like the two universal sink stoppers, or maybe the rain suits, or the headlamp. Oh yes, and who can forget the wind-up SW radio (it only weights 5 lbs).

Our house looks like a windstorm hit it, and we are no where near finished. HELP!
