Big Wheels Keep on Rollin

Where do I even start to catch up? I worked my last week of work, it was very bittersweet saying my goodbyes to my work family who have helped me work through many of the skeletons in my closet. Seven years of psych will have you diagnosing yourself and all your friends.

We have been working at packing and cleaning out the house. I can not get myself organized. I have to sit down and make my lists out. HAVE TO!


We received some photos of the house. I had imagined things to be much worse than what the pictures are. The cottage has a lot of character. I am looking forward to getting my hands in there and fixing it up. I am actually excited learn how to do some of the things myself. Hopefully I make it out with all of my appendages.

What I have learned so far about our move:

  1. We really need to "make it work, use it up, do without" I am just sick of all the stuff that we have that we really do not need.

  2. Selling a home gym in today's economy is not going happen.
  3. A 3000 square foot home is way to big for this family. We keep way to much stuff. For example I cleaned out our filing cabinet and got almost a half a trash bag of just random papers.
  4. What I think is important to do and what everyone else thinks are often two different things.
  5. It is impossible to pack on the weekends when you have decided to move over 14 hours away in less than a month.

Tomorrow's check list:

  • finish kitchen
  • finish laundry room
  • go through totes packed and downsize again
  • call insurance about transfer
