I'm trying to organize and pare down. And sell each unnecessary item in my house, even though I may need it over the next 6 weeks; I'm getting rid of stuff now. I don't know why I'm so tense about it.
I could use a good massage or spa treatment or vacation on a tropical beach. I don't care. Just anything to get rid of the stress!
There. I vented. Now it's back to work. Not that any of this is the point I'm trying to make.
Here it is:
Thank you!
Thank you to all the wonderfully meaningful comments, the encouragement, the well-wishes, the knocking on wood -- all of it. It means so much to me that there are those who care enough to write in and say "hey", especially in the midst of what looks like a crazy woman doing her very own, very special chicken-with-its-head-cut-off dance. I've had practice. I do it well.
Like I said, now it's back to work. I'll get back to taking pictures and posting them when I have a chance... one of the things I miss the most right now.
I so need to do what your doing. I can only imagine the stress, but you'll feel so great when it's all done! Good luck and hang in there!
ReplyDeleteOkay, so once, not in the middle of a move, just in the middle of de-cluttering I had a mini panic about getting rid of empty Amazon and shoe boxes that had been taking up space in my closet. Why? I do not know! I knew I was being stupid. I knew that I didn't need them or could get more if I "needed" to send something in the mail. But, like you, I was tense, so I had to call a friend to "talk me off the ledge."
ReplyDeleteYou, however, are doing some legitimate down-sizing in the middle of a stressful time, so a little tension as you de-clutter is to be expected. So vent away! You deserve it!
You also deserve a massage or a vacation, but I can't help you with that. :)
In lieu of a spa treatment or tropical vacation, perhaps a bag of Oreos?? =>
ReplyDeleteI totally sympathize. I only had to clean out a linen closet for the bathroom renovation and it totally stressed me out. I agree with Stacia maybe you need some oreos or chocolate.
ReplyDeleteI'll take a bag of oreos any day over a massage!!! :D
ReplyDeleteOh if I lived closer I'd drive a casserole over for diner tonight. Instead I'll pray for your continued sanity. And good sleep at night!
ReplyDeleteHold on! You can do it! Just a little longer! (and some well-deserved hugs to that, too!)
