Well anyway, I got a chuckle out of my optimism there on Tuesday, thinking I'd gotten all the stuff out. Pfft. Back to cleaning tomorrow. Today I'll go straight home again and do light unpacking or at least organizing of boxes, and I WILL sit with my feet up. Grateful for the energy. Through all of this, even with feeling exhausted and having knee and foot pain, I haven't felt overwhelmed. Limping, yes. Dragging? Nope. If not for the foot and the knee, I could still keep going.

Congrats on your move! I really felt for you during the moving process and cleaning the apartment. Such a dreadful process! Sounds like you have made a really special change. You are there if your mother needs you. You and Wylie have more room to express your awesome selves. I wish you the best in your new home.

I was literally in tears yesterday, when I got home after working my butt off for two hours loading stuff (It is amazing that I could say that all the stuff was loaded out of there, and still come up with a full back hatch PACKED with stuff, two days in a row) and cleaning down on my hands and knees (which is hurting my bad knee) and just basically hustling physically. Really difficult physical work, and I haven't even started wiping down the kitchen and there is STILL STUFF to haul out of there...stupid coat closet...
Well I am not going there today. I got home from that brutal couple hours of hard cleaning, getting home after 8:00, limping on both feet, with a car full of stuff to take downstairs, and standing there amid all the boxes that need unpacking and Wylie and I both saying Where is it all going to fit? and I started crying. So. Tired. Much. Pain.
today, I will go straight home, cook food and eat dinner, and unpack some boxes. Organize them, get them up against the walls and out of the middle of the space where it is blowing our minds. And then sit and relax with my zentangle. And a beer. Sorry Dr M. But it will be so good to cook again.

That feeling when moving is part of why I became a minimalist. I still have stuff but I make sure it doesn't get out of hand last move was great because I didn't have much.
