I ran in to the issue while packing of not giving one flying fuck of what went in to any particular box roughly 1/4 of the way in to packing.
I'm down to just a handful of still kinda packed boxes that I occasionally need to open to rifle through to look for something.
It has been 5 years.
My partner has several boxes that have not been opened since we moved in. And several more that my mother in law dropped off when we moved in.
I threatened to throw them away after a year but I just don't have the heart in me to do that. It was always an empty threat, and I think it was obvious.
Ugh I hope this isn't me but... We'll see.
