Our son came over mid-morning and since then we have been going through boxes and sorting stuff (yes, we've been here a year!).

In between, I was getting boxes and bags in the kitchen, where I was sorting for keep, clean, storage, garbage, donate....
My hands and legs just can't keep up - so I broke down crying a few times, just frustrated. So much to do, and we have delayed doing stuff.
We downsized SO much to come here, and yet there is no room for things. I have been wearing the same clothes over and over, because the rest was packed and stored. Same with kitchen things - I've been missing some of my favourite items - and have NO special things, they were all stored.
Let alone any personal items - everything like all my jewellery has all been stored. Husband found one little box - but it's brooches and old stuff. I'm scared my ear piercings have grown in, I haven't worn earrings in a year.
And there is nothing decorative in the house. That has been making me crazy. Nothing on the walls, nothing on a shelf, just nothing pretty or nice. Everything is bare, practical, functional - and not at its best either.
Ok, I didn't mean this to be a rant, sorry = but I won't erase it, I'll let it be.
As a break, sent son out to get pizza and ribs - very odd to have such a meal at 2:30 p.m., but we didn't have lunch, so that will count for supper as well.
I probably just need a nap...
I'll come back when I'm saner. Cats are also confused with the commotion, strange boxes, etc.
Taffy hasn't stopped talking since Milan got here. (she's the cat who doesn't meow, just makes breathy sounds, but it's funny when she wants to make herself heard, she can!)
:) Really, I'm fine!
