The Latest Goal

In an effort to prevent constantly being overwhelmed, I'm really trying to keep pieces of this moving crap small. I'm looking at tiny jobs that I can do easily. My goal for this week is to get the shelves in my office cleared off -- the stuff either on ebay, ready to sell to quilters, or boxed to take to Half-Priced Books. If I can just keep the small steps in mind, I should be able to stay sane.

K. has talked a former colleague who's doing some consulting in DC and who says there are jobs back there. He gave K. some names of people to call. I just hope he makes the calls.

T. emailed us pictures of the condo. It's very nice with a super kitchen (he's the guy who first went to cooking school and used his cooking skills to pay his way through college & graduate school)! I was sure he would have a great kitchen. This condo has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms! Plus an office, a dining room, a living room. It's the same square footage as the house we moved out of. I've proposed that K. go back there one weekend when T. is there and that they figure out how to handle everything. His stuff/our stuff, etc. I would kind of like to have our bedroom furniture. The rest? I don't care about the rest. It can go into storage or we can sell it. He's got much comfier looking stuff than we have. But if we had our bedroom mismatch stuff, at least one room would feel like home. And maybe that's all that matters. Maybe not, too. I don't know.

My exercise program and even my plan to see Rick today have been scuttled due to equipment problems. My Helios (portable oxygen) is broken. I called on Friday and they assured me they'd have a new one here on Monday. Yesterday they assured me it would be today. Now they're saying it will be between noon and 4 so I wait. And I walk in the apartment. And work on my bookshelves.

And try not to think about the big picture.
