I'm on vacation this week...since I am a bit of a workaholic it will only be a matter of time before I start getting on my own nerves. Trying very hard NOT to check the work email, court calendars or bank accounts - I do this every morning after opening the office.
There is so much to do around the house - move furniture around and sort through boxes from my move about 2 years ago. Let me elaborate - my former apartment building was sold and everyone was given a couple weeks to move - we were more or less evicted. This happened about 3 weeks before Pride - I was Co-chair of the Board and had absolutely NO spare time. Also I was working for someone who confused the duties of a paralegal with indentured servitude. And my Mom had died a few months earlier. Shelia took time off work and packed my apartment - she packed everything, except the garbage. After the move I was still consumed by Pride and my job. Then Dad started to clear Mom's things from his house because he decided to remarry. I ended up rescuing a lot of things and my living room became a warehouse. When I moved my home grew from a 640 sq ft apartment to about 1,000 but because of the extra things from Dad's I actually have less living space now.
Even with the change of jobs last year I was still not interested in going through things here. Thanks to my counselor I have been able to work through my Mom's death and thanks to the addition of 5HTP/Carbidopa the mild depression has lifted - I am ready to tackle this. By the end of the week there will be many things ready to go to Goodwill and/or the dumpster.
I am looking forward to being able to use my living room again - something I haven't been able to do since the stuff arrived from Dad's.
