susandennisYesterday Frank stopped by. He had agreed to adopt the tech that got culled. Really having someone else make the discard decision was such a blessing. It's so hard for me to toss out cables and adapters and keyboards. It was so much easier to put them in the Frank pile.
And it cracks me up to think of him going through all that shit... all those mini keyboards????? I knew she was nuts but this is a whole new level...
Anyway, he came by to pick them up and see the cats and so I roped him into to Tall Person jobs. He emptied the shelves over the refrigerator and then moved every single thing down from the top hallway shelves. WHEW. What a huge help.
Today, I think I'll tackle the rest of the kitchen. What I do keep in there will be saved for the professional packers. I really just need to toss out all that I don't want to keep. I think the most efficient way will be to clean off the shelves across from the kitchen and then use them to house the 'save' stuff.
I have lots of dumpster trips to make today.
I have been falling asleep early and waking up very early. Last night I tried to stay awake and failed but I did not wake up early! Or even much at all.
I think I've gotten past a lot of the 'how will this work' anxiety. Anxiety is way too strong a word. But there has been a whole lotta heavy thinking about how best to incorporate all these changes. I feel like with the getting rid of everything, so much of that has just evaporated.
And saying goodbye to annoyances. Goodbye steps between here and my car. Goodbye Jathan, the building manager. Goodbye loud dumpster trucks in the morning. Goodbye Tree That I Hate!!
Sure there will be stuff that I miss but, honestly, not that much, I don't think. And so so so much to look forward to.
And then, when I'm dirty and my back hurts and I'm so tired of trips to the dumpster, I sit to rest and find myself rewarded/amused by the things that won't change. My email will be the same, my computer will be the same, my TV streaming will be the same. hahahaha.
Today's baseball is at 11:30. The Mariners are still on their losing streak which is kind of depressing. But, even bad baseball is better than no baseball at all. At least this year I'll have so much going on, I might not even miss it after the World Series.

I hope the move is fabulous for you. It really does sound like it's perfect.
