Tonight I'm staying in. I've been 'on call' since March 4th. I've been paid to do nothing for 10 days. I made the most of it, I have to say. I cleaned out my entire apartment including the storage room. It felt so good to see all those bags and boxes finally dealt with. It was actually quite a pleasant trip down memory lane. I had to go through some boxes of stuff from my relationship with Jesse and I found some really cute photobooth pictures of us, some art work, some little knick knacks, it was neat to see that stuff because I hadn't looked at it in almost 5 years now. Lots of stuff I had forgotten about, lots of things that triggered all kinds memories.
I managed to pack up 2 garbage bags of clothes for the Goodwill, and a few boxes of 'stuff' to be donated. It felt so liberating to to drop them off at the drop off centre. I actually went in to shop around and I felt a little pang of remorse when I saw my stuff get wheeled by in a big bin. I had to look the other way or else I would have taken it all back! I don't know why i find it so hard to part with old clothes and junk. Oh well, at least it's done.
My apartment is absolutely spotless and I love it, it makes me happy! Lots of things are making me happy these days. I know I posted a pretty sad post the other day but it was one of those situations that had to happen. I feel so much better having been open and honest and ending that relationship before it got too far. Staying with someone because you feel bad for them is a trap! You aren't doing them or yourself any favours.
We'll see what happens next...
