I ought to have gone to the launderette. I have piles of washing to do. Oy vey! Well, to be exact, I have four loads left. I probably won't get between the sheets until well after one o'clock, but to my crazy way of thinking, it's better than getting up early. The packers will be here between nine and noon. We already have the bulk of what is going in this shipment laid out for the guy. I look at it in it's current state and it's not much. Because I am tired, I could really care less if what is left hanging in my closet gets seen again until the end of July. I never wear any of it anyway. I'll re-think donating them or wearing them once I get them back again. In any case, I have plenty going into my suitcase.
After the guy comes and goes tomorrow, I'll spend the rest of the day and Tuesday (after my ultrasound) picking up messes here and there, vacuuming around baseboards ('cos the canister vac will get packed up either Wednesday or Friday) . . . and generally just making sure the least amount of useless crap makes its way to Hawaii. I've already hauled some serious loads to the dumpsters. My hubs . . . bless his heart, is going through his side of the closet. After all these five years of just letting it all become such an integral part of the closet . . . like ivy on trees. When I took two trash bags of clothes/shoes downstairs to haul out tomorrow, I had to ask (the air apparently, since I got no response): "Isn't it amazing the stuff we're throwing away now? If we're doing it now, what was keeping us from doing it before? Why did we keep all this crap?"
Trying not to get overwhelmed. I have moments, though. So, I thought I would share. I have some spare time since I'm just waiting on machines and my body just won't do much more moving about at this time of night. I'm going to leave you kids alone and tuck my nose into a book between loads.
Rest easy.

You have got to be totally exhausted! I would be! And if I would have stayed up past one - I pretty much wouldn't be functioning at all right now :)
I do undrstand the beter Late than Early mentality! Blessings!
"such an integral part of the closet . . . like ivy on trees." Great analogy. Yup. Just like ivy on trees. You can't really bring yourself to rip it off. Seems like it belongs there. LOL My God give you peace and the rest you need. And prayers for the ultrasound.

CHRIST. i think the hardest part about moving is that nobody seems to stop eating and/or dirtying clothes while all this is going on. which slows me down a bunch!
take care of yourself!!!! blessings.
and hugs.
I hate closets...it reminds me of all the different weights I've been.
You're almost there!
Brandie - exhausted doesn't cut it, really, but I must keep going (w/in reason) to finish the job. It will get done . . . the first pick up went w/out a hitch. Thank God. Now we have a day to get our crap together (grind up unnecessary papers, dust off stuff so the packers don't get black lung etc.). They will be back Wednesday - a whole day to get ready - plenty of time!
Elizabeth - exactly. It's just easier that way for me.
Rosemary - thank you. Some times I get the analogy right. It must be the Holy Spirit 'cos my brain had gone south.
Regan - I feel your pain as well. Ha! We got a laptop so guess what I'll be keeping up on?
Nancy - the only thing I have in mine from my "skinny bitch" past is my wedding dress. I can't zip if up from the start of my ribcage, but . . . if I drop those thirty pounds, I will be able to one day. I'm not too far off the mark. But, I also don't care to make that my goal in life. Healthy and happy is what counts.
God bless you all.
