The Waiting Game
Waiting, waiting, waiting. It's good that we (well two of the four of us) started throwing out old junk as soon as the move was initiated. Every weekend has been at least one dump run, packing the back of my hatchback with boxes and boxes of stuff. It's simply amazing how much we can accumulate over the years. I'm glad we didn't wait until now to start tossing junk. The pressure isn't nearly as bad as it would be if we had just started cleaning/simplifying now--two weeks prior to moving.
But, prepping early has had a reverse effect of sorts. It's given me extra free time to think about the move without the pressure of preparing and so I have been experiencing an overinflated case of "senior-itis." I just want to move and get it over with already. Sadly, the new place isn't ready for us yet, so it's just a waiting game. We can't pack up a lot of stuff because then we're just living in, around and out of boxes. And we can't sit idle because that's just boring and frustratingly inefficient. So the best we can do for now is just toss stuff out and go shopping for new stuff. :)
