That long slow fade
Packed lots yesterday. Packed more today, as well as organized. Still more to do, but I'm feeling better. Didn't write yesterday, today -- but will tomorrow morning.
I've cleared out a lot -- got rid of all the books on top of books on the shelves, cleaned off the tops of all surfaces, etc. I really like it. I may have to try to maintain less stuff when I come back.
I have a renter at least for the first two months of while I'm gone. I have a rental manager to help ensure that someone else rents it for the rest of the time.
I made pot roast tonight -- I'll eat off it for the rest of the week. Probably the last big meal I'll make here for a while.
I get so excited thinking about traveling, about moving. It felt so good to clean out my drawers, throw away all the extra paper. It wasn't that much, only about a bag's worth, but it felt freeing. I'm going through my closet, the bathroom, and the kitchen now. Have already done the bedroom.
This is part of why I like to move. This clearing out of stuff. When I started feeling trapped here in Seattle a couple of years ago I cleaned my junk closet out, as if I was moving. And while I may feel anxiety for how much I have to do, the pleasure of the adventure is also riding high.
