Saturday and Sunday were very tiring both emotionally and physically! Monday I was scheduled to work but as luck would have it I was able to be ‘on-call’, and I was never called in. The luck wasn’t all mine….the Family Birth Center was better off without me, being all dazed and confused (and very tired) as I was.
Now my energy is coming back and it’s time to reorganize. First I’m working with the things left from the sale that didn’t sell. Those items are being donated to 3 different charities, and some I put out in front of the house along with a ‘FREE’ sign. Also I’m in the process of returning tables and such that I borrowed from friends.
Next will be the task of reorganizing what I kept. I don’t know where anything is! Everything has been moved around…out of drawers and into bins, and shoved into closets so it would be out of the way when people came inside to look at furniture during the sale….AND there is still too much stuff. It’s amazing the amount of ‘stuff’ one can have in an 800+ sq ft home!
My new home, Wandering Spirit, is 17 feet long, and about 6 feet wide, with storage space in the bed of the truck, so I’m going to be very picky about what I bring along. 🙂
What a challenge! And I’m loving it!
Wandering Spirit 
And what you choose to take along will probably change some over the next year. One key to purging before moving into Wandering Spirit is to ask yourself how hard (expensive) would it be to replace this item if I decide I still need it? Another question is “does it serve more than one purpose?” I like things that do double duty.
Wise words Reine. Thanks for your thoughts on this. Yes, I imagine I’ll bring way too much with me at first. Or I’ll try to at least….but I really don’t want the back of the truck so stuffed that I can’t find anything. Just defeats the purpose! 🙂
My Sweet Lady Jane….who would have thought 50 (ouch!) years ago we’d be talking about leaving home again?? But your Joy Ride white chariot awaits and there is not more deserving person than you for the journey ahead. We will be with you every step of the way. L-RR
My Sweet Marie….Fifty years. Amazing. Back then we were singing ‘Time, time, time, is on my side…yes it is!’ Now I’m scrambling to get in my last couple of flings before ‘It’s all over now’ happens! 🙂
You and Ray and the dogs and I for sure need to meet up on the road, in the not too distant future!
How exciting Micky!!! I can’t wait to read about your adventures!
I sure have had some weird adventures in the past, haven’t I? :-)))))
But this one will be your best ever….
Wow! Good luck and if you get a chance, come and visit me, or I could meet you somewhere. Great that you’re really doing this!!
After dreaming about it for so long, the reality looms….it’s an amazing feeling. But then Deb, you know that feeling, I’m sure. 🙂
