Like a Ton of Bricks

Monday I resigned. Yup, did it. Gave my month's notice and am ready to walk away. Of course, this past week was the most hectic of my time at my company. I hope the rest of the time is not that crazy.

But here is my real problem. Its now real. Like really real. There is so much to be done both at home and at work. I'm already completely exhausted after one weekend of preparing for my move. My mother asked that I start packing and bring stuff down prior to our family vacation next week. I have spent all weekend packing. I have too much crap, WAY too much crap. This move is at least letting me downsize. But it feels so overwhelming, I have so much to do! I just can't move past it. I know that this is the best decision that I could possibly have made. I'm certain that this move will attract all the wonderful things that I wanted here that just never manifested.

Looking into my bedroom and seeing stuff packed into storage bins and my 15 space bags utilized is just too much. I'm so excited and not worried in the least I just think this move is going to stink. I haven't moved since college and the thought of packing everything up and getting rid of all the unused, uneeded crap is just a lot of work. I have so much stuff to get rid of and don't know where to turn for that. I need to dump my furniture and dumps bags and bags and bags of clothes and shoes and bedding. I think that the day I leave I will have a group like Salvation Army come to pick up all this crap.

just not sure where to donate the two huge bins of books I have. I don't know if the library will take them or if I should call churches in the area or schools. It seems weird since they aren't typical books. A lot of them are old college textbooks or just college books period.

I believe it will all fall into place. I just know this is going to be an emotional and exhausting month. Right now I'm just looking forward to my family vacation and for that to be fun and relaxing. Of course, then I get to come back to a storm of "to dos" but I know myself everything will get done before I live. EVERYTHING. I know it. I trust myself.
