Yard sale (except I don't have a yard)

I stayed up late listening to Delilah on FM radio. I like Delilah. While the radio played I began preparing to pack all my property for the upcoming move to the prison where I will receive the OMCP training. At this stage I'm compacting what I will take along and discarding what I don't want to take with me, because I'm only allowed to take six cubic feet of property when I move. 

There are specific limits on the quantity of certain items I can have: Six bars of soap, two bottles of lotion, four tubes of toothpaste, four deodorants, two toothbrushes, three photo albums, twelve CDs, ten books, and two magazines. 

Imagine if that was all you could have. For someone like me who writes a lot and reads a lot, I tend to accumulate good books and every time I move I'm forced to give some away.
