The answer is of course a resounding yes. Work is winding down and I'm handing off my projects to people I hope are capable of handling their execution.... it’s getting harder and harder to focus at work but if I don't get everything checked off my list then that just won't do. Got a bit upset last week that people are saying that I've already checked out and my brain is already overseas, but that is so not true! I know what you are thinking. Surely you have an overly extensive excel spreadsheet that details every task and is color-coded (with a key)... and the answer again is yes.
I’ve sold off most of my furniture that will not be going into storage and have been filling up my guest bedroom with everything that is up for grabs. If you are around, come check it out because everything must go! My mom is coming up this week so we are really going to get serious about cleaning stuff out. Very liberating to give most everything away! And I’ve found that I prefer a studio apartment to actual bedrooms, because that is essentially what I have now. I rarely even walk into the other rooms in the house anymore unless I’m throwing something into the ‘sell room’. There are sooooo many loose ends to tie up here, but as the date gets closer and I check more things off my lists my anxiety decreases and increases simultaneously. How I will fit my whole life into 2 bags is still a bit daunting.
As Bray just told me “If we can let go of our Arkansas-selves, we’ll be left with more of our dream-selves and then a little bit of new exotic country-selves.” I’m ready!
