Can't find the time for anything today. I have been swamped with cleaning, and I mean, baby wiping the quarter round-dusting the air vents-throwing out 8 bags of trash cleaning. It's all in preparation for putting the house on the market....but I'm whipped. As soon as I finished only 3 rooms, it was time for dinner and to start packing so we can go to Florida tomorrow.
How is it possible that we accumulated so much stuff, junk and miscellanous crap since we moved in?? Like I said, 8 bags of trash, 4 trips (so far) to our storage unit, a huge load for the bulk garbage pick up and still so much more to go! That was only 3 rooms!!! We will have 2 bathrooms, a pantry, a great room and a kitchen to plow through. Again....how is this possible to have so much stuff?
It seems like that is the story of life though. We puddle through acquiring, being gifted, buying, borrowing and not returning- we collect all this stuff and it weighs down our life. I feel so purged and light now. Even though I am overwhelmed and worried about what the next few weeks/months are going to hold for us, the feeling of being lifted from the burden of junk is really liberating. Less stuff to clean, to put away, to find a home for....it's kind of nice. Toys that weren't being used, books that weren't being read, clothes that weren't being worn, the list goes on and on. It almost makes me cringe......BUT THEN WAIT, there is hope for us normal acquiring folk! I think about that show Clean House. If I shudder at the thought of my junk weighing me down (and it's really not that bad), can you imagine living in a place that Clean House tornadoes through?!?!?
On a positive and complete sidebar....I will be junk-free, stress-free and house-cleaning free for the next 5 days!! Orlando here I come!
