The Challenge of them all I was hoping to have a better
foundation prior to this challenge. But now I’m faced with the largest happiest
challenge of my adult life.
MOVING: Where do I start? How can I still stay lazy and get
this stuff done? How do normal people do
it, if there is such a thing ;)… without hiring helping hands!!! If you have the money to do that I suggest
that route just because I’m lazy! Well with the house we are getting there isn’t
an option for me to hire anyone. I will be house broke! So as everyone says let’s
start small and work our way up. Here is the list of things that
I think need
to have some attention to.
- · Figure out what will go into the new house (and where possibly)
- · Packing the stuff that goes into the house and getting it there
- · Cleaning the new house
- · Selling off or getting rid of the stuff I don’t want anymore
Rule one and you have seen it, heard about it, and hopefully
live by this. Do not pack anything you don’t LOVE. Well my friend that there is
my problem I love so much I really do feel connected to most things that are in
my life why do you think I have so much crap! I love it. I love the feeling of
desire when I look at it. I love the desire of future project. I love who gave
it to me, I love the memories the item has. I can go on and on about the love I
have for random CRAP!!!
Yes most of it is crap. The good thing is though once I forget
the connection to the item I toss it. Even saying to myself why did I hold on
to this I know there is a story I just can’t remember it.
And then I have this nagging voice in the back of my head.
GET RID OF IT ALL so I can start fresh making new memories that will blow the
past ones out of the water. I let that
inner voice nag all she wants. It’s easier to listen to the nagging then it is
to part with some things.
Okay we are putting an offer in a house soon!! (Hopefully
this week) and I’m already overwhelmed. A few things that are in my benefit are:
- · Close by
- · Ready to move in
- · Not selling our house so no rush to move our stuff
My fear of this is simple not wanting to live in two homes
at one time.. so I would love for all of this to be done instantly!
I will post my achievements and disappointments here.
Hopefully you can learn or gain some sort of insight into your own laziness!!
To start I have started to go through more boxes of stuff I
once sold candle light or party light so I have a lot of stuff to throw away!
You won’t believe what I found doing that.. my marriage certificate was in a
box of random stuff I’m so grateful it didn’t get damaged.. WTF is wrong with
me and my laziness. It’s now framed and
in a box to move!
I am going to continue to go through stuff and get more
boxes … Basements are fun! ;)
