There is so little time ahead of me to pack up the house, yet I manage to avoid doing anything, for all manner of good reasons. There was the week without power, and 105 degree temperatures (the heat index was 126!!!!!) which made it incredibly difficult to move, let alone organize clothes and books and papers etc. I had one good day, when I took everything out of my extensive closet and created ten boxes of clothes to be hidden away in the storage unit, never to be seen again.
This past two weeks, I have had the worst summer cold ever, and that has been a good reason to avoid the list of tasks carefully outlined in my iphone. No more excuses for me today; I am finally feeling better. I had some energy last night and packed up the guest room, partly by moving Maya's clothes into my room ( a very convenient way to pack; moving things from one room to another).
It rained all day, or at least drizzled. A perfect day to stay inside and work on the house. Of course I had to go to my yoga class first, and then shower and visit the office to see a few patients, and then I had to buy a bathing suit, and eat lunch, and go to another yoga class, and get my nails done. I was planning to go downtown in the evening to attend Artscape and watch a dance troupe perform and see a concert, but my conscience compelled me to get moving on the house. I finished cleaning out Maya's room and started on my paper piles in my office and packed for my August trip and began organizing Ecuador clothes. Every task is unfinished and therefore there are piles of disorganization in every corner, but progress has been made and I am feeling a little less disgusted with myself.
I am a cat lady; Felix and Quinn are excited to see me, and want to play and hang out. They are my only company today, although I did speak to my parents and my sister and Maya from Michigan and Tara from England. I expected to feel lonely this week, and although I miss my daughters particularly, I am surprisingly comfortable. I was wondering what it was like to be single, and I suppose this is my single experience, and I am enjoying the freedom to do what I wish. Of course, with work occupying me most of the day, and a compulsory yoga class after work, I am getting home late, and avoiding working on the house. I am not allowing myself to go out (only to the movies Monday night) in the hopes that I will be inspired to make an effort.....
