I hear you.

I am, I guess, very fortunate in owning my own home. If I had to suddenly leave, I would certainly lose a lot of things.

It’s a case of mobility versus comfort, I guess. In the Army they used to say “Travel light, freeze at night”. Of course, handling “freezing at night” was considered something of a measure of Army ‘Strac’. (Skilled and tough, although more than one wag has pointed out that on occasion it looks remarkably similar to ‘dumb’)

I made a decision to not purchase a separate freezer. Mostly because if I did so, I would likely end up storing far more food than I, as a single person, could possibly eat over several years. If I had the responsibilities of feeding multiple people, I would feel comfortable in looking at that decision again.

For my 65th Birthday party, we had a lot of cake left over. A few days later, my wife asked where the cake was, I said the beer fridge. She comes back with no cake, saying that she couldn’t find it. Eventually I realized where she looked, and I said “It is in the other beer refrigerator in the garage. “
