Space is a concept
“There’s no space for everything,” was a constant complaint. Hoarders have this incessant problem. No room is every big enough for all their ever-growing belongings.
“We’ll make it,” he would reassure.
She was further agitated by his tranquil tenor; how could he not be worried?
There were boxes all around, inside rooms, out in the yard, in the attic. There was a bike in the living room and a cupboard on the porch.
It was too disorienting, and it aggravated the stress.
She left for a walk, but soon returned to find he had actually taken care of it all.

Ditto for me too! Less clutter feels good, but it’s hard to part with some stuff sometimes..

All of us who have the tendency to “keep” need someone who “takes care of it” from time to time. 🙂 Hopefully, it relieved her stress.

Yeah, you’d have to switch the genders to make this story fit my husband and me :). And I’m intensely curious about how he “took care” of all that stuff in a relatively short time period.

Oh. “…Taken care of it…” can mean so many different things.
I hope this time it is a good end, but I doubt it. 🙂
