So I have been quiet the last two weeks with good reason. So
here is the story, the Saturday after Thanksgiving I awoke in a strange new
mood. Reality was kicking my butt. So we began to prepare that morning.
The madness continued through Monday. I’ll get to what we were preparing for in a
moment. We sorted stuff and began the craziness of you’ve probably guessed by
now… We moved on Tuesday. The crazy part is we had nowhere to move. We packed
everything we owned into a twenty-six foot U-haul and parked it for two days.
Luckily we all had a place to stay.
Thursday it came together, and we had a new home. Keith and
I spent our first night in a partially unpacked apartment. I have since been
unpacking and sorting stuff. It’s weird to go from a three-bedroom duplex to a
two bedroom apartment.
So my lesson now is letting go of stuff. Which I have never
been a hoarder or a minimalist either, but I think it’s a good lesson. The
important part of this post is not so much us moving, but the things I learned.
I luckily have a car, and I had a place to lay my head thanks
to some very generous people, but beyond that I was essentially homeless. On
Thursday as I sat in my car waiting for things to come together, I was
terrified by the notion that so much could go wrong. Thank Goddess it didn’t. I can only imagine how a truly homeless
person without help feels, but I am certain that I came damn close and that’s
terrifying. Not for me myself, but because others’ were counting on me to keep
that from happening.
If you know me in real life, and need our new address, feel
free to email me and I’ll update you. So
I still don’t have internet. I have been frequenting Starbucks to use theirs. I
am still here and I still keep moving forward.
