On procrastination and the ceasing of the same

[pixkris]

So I've cleaned out about half of my walk-in closet. Thus far I have about 6 bags of clothes to go to Goodwill. Can you say "should have done this three years ago", children? Of course it took me trying to pack my clothes to move them across the country to get myself motivated to go through them all, so I guess I shouldn't feel too accomplished.

I think I may be at the end of my ability to work tonight. Looks like I'll be diving back into this project in the morning. Don't even bring up the boxes in the attic that I never unpacked after the move here two years ago and still need to go through...please? I know you might say that if they've been in the attic for two years I probably don't need them, and you'd be right. But...see...I have this sneaking suspicion that there is some really cool stuff in there that I've forgotten about, and I'm just too curious to not look at all.

I'm hopeless.

Of course I also have to pack for a week in LA tomorrow since I'm leaving at an ungodly hour of the morning on Tuesday; not to mention about a million little errands I need to get done before I go that are too boring even to mention. Tomorrow looks to be stressful.

The reality is starting to sink in. This is my last trip west when I will be coming "home" to Connecticut. I get back here on the 19th and begin frantic boxing and shipping of clothes and a few other odds and ends. Then Mom and I will be driving across country with the cats the last week in July, and everything changes.

I have to admit that I'm more scared than excited right now. I believe it will change, but gods is this hard.

Hey, babe. Do you have someone you could have come over and just chat with you while you do these tasks? Or, even better, someone that wouldn't mind helping?

J moved into her new apartment about a month ago, and she had two of the bedrooms just filled with boxes. It was too overwhelming for her to deal with, so she just kept the doors closed. Well, her daughters are coming on Wednesday, so she needs those rooms. So, on Saturday I went over and we attacked one of the rooms. We got it all set up, and now she feels more confident about attacking the other room.

I guess, I tell you all that to say, if you have someone that could come help or just keep you company, it may be easier. I wish I was closer, 'cause I'd totally love to come help.

Much love to you.

This is a wonderful suggestion...unfortunately, part of what is making it so painfully difficult is that my company has been Dave. He's on vacation this week and so is home, and it's been a little rough. Not bad, just very sad for both of us.

Anyway, I'm feeling better today. Lots to do, so I'm just going to keep busy.
