I lost track of how many trips my husband and I took over to the new house today. We just kept filling up the trailer and riding over there. I had a minor panic attack when at one point he was trying to do a U Turn in a daycare parking lot and got a bit stuck. His exact words were “you may have to get out and stop traffic.” In his mind, this would make it easier for him to pull the trailer out of the driveway we were in. In my mind, I could tell death was near. Despite my immense enthusiasm to jump out in front of the cars to try to stop them, he managed to get us turned around without this event.
Yesterday, I fell asleep after I got home from the thrift store. I’m truly trying to NOT go there several days a week. However, I had a friend that wanted to buy a canvas from me. We met at Goodwill and ended up shopping there for a few hours. I came across this great angry cat & coffee pitcher. It just made me want to laugh. For $2.99, I scooped it up. My friend agreed that it was great. A customer in line also requested to see the bottom of the pitcher because, she too, liked it. Nothing like showing off a “Home Goods” sticker. I will honestly sell anything that inspires me though. Dollar Store, Walmart, Home Goods, Thrift Store, Etc.
While it was fun shopping, I was zapped when I got home. Think of a bug getting smashed by a swatter & that was me. I fell asleep for a while. When I woke up, I told my husband I felt like I was a pancake that had been run over by an 18 wheeler. He thought that sounded pretty flat so he came over to make sure I still had curves haha! Over every quality (other than being Christian), I think you need to be with someone that makes you laugh. It’s so important. Laughter will be your light house when everything goes dark. And believe me, at some point, it will.
I’m hoping in this new neighborhood we are moving to that we will find some friends. Or humans to talk too. Either would be an improvement. It’s been really socially hard since leaving Charleston, SC. I’m used to a certain level of friendliness and manners that is just non existent here. Less rain is something I am also used to. The weather is like a rollercoaster, which I think plays a big role in my plummeting immune system & daily emotional state. Don’t I just sound like a fucking ray of sunshine tonight?
All in all, today has really not been too bad. I was proud of my husband for putting so much work into loading the trailer and taking us back and forth. It would be nice to think we would do the same thing tomorrow but that is setting the bar a bit high. I’ve been wishing we were extreme minimalists. Like the people who can roll their bed up and carry it on their back. What an easy move it would be if that were the situation for us. I cannot understand how I decluttered over 10 priority boxes full of crap and yet, we still have tons of decorations. I’m feeling another decor purge coming on when we move.
My husband is currently making terrifying tree shadows on our wall. It is 10 PM and he is over at his plant shelf checking on his “kids.” He was holding up one of the Japanese Maples he is trying to root and it cast a scary looking shadow on the ceiling. A few of his roses that he tried to root did not make it so he took them back outside (most likely to reuse the dirt). He is 110% boy. Dirt, sweat, bugs, or other grotesque things do not bother him. A few days ago I went almost an entire day without a shower. That is as adventurous as I get. Take away my shower and coffee and a documentary could be made on how crazy I go. I can see it on my tombstone now “she went out decaffeinated & greasy.”
