Be Ye Separate

Can't sleep as usual:P

Blessings!

   Well, I can't sleep again, as usual!:P It's times like this that I am usually found at my computer writing on my manuscript. Well, I did that for awhile and emptied my brain so now I figured I would visit here for a few minutes before turning back into bed:)

   Someone made mention how I am still unpacking. Yep it's true...I'm still unpacking:P We began our move the 1st of January. We finally ended on February 11. Now we weren't actually still living at the OLD place after the 2nd week of January but we didn't get the rest of the stuffs from the garage and barn until the 11th. Largely that was due to weather conditions. We had several days that we were snowed in here on two separate occasions and then another two days of heavy fog and ice kept us here. But I digress!

   After having taken 3 car loads to the second chance shoppe I was beginning to feel overwhelmed with all the boxes and wondering what was wrong with me that I didn't have everything unpacked and organzed and all that "normal" stuff. It can get frustrating over time when you feel like you'll never be completely settled.

   Well, today I had to take Brother Craig in for another injection in his eye as well as the tri monthly tests, dyes and pictures etc. Long morning. We finally did get home to find my dear friend and her children here visiting with our daughters:)

   It was a planned visit but WE were a little late because of the eye doctor being behind schedule. No harm:) Anyhow, as usual, I had a great time. It's not often that I get to visit with like minded folks and they are wonderful folks.

   She and I ran to town to order a pizza. While we were waiting for them to make it we went to our second chance shoppe and looked around. I found another basket for my bathroom shelf that will hold a few necessaries and a very sweet dress for our Mary-Ann. But this isn't the point...the point is we had a chance to just gab about things. I mentioned my little frustration over the boxes still needing unpacked. She is alway sweet to mention the changes she sees when she comes over. This lets me know that I am indeed making progress:) Anyway, as I said, I mention being frustrated over the boxes STILL full and she reminds me that we moved from a HUGE house to this little one.  

   I already knew that but sometimes I have to be reminded:) Well, she made my whole week:) With all the fretting I was doing I had let it slip my mind that I am trying to go from a 2700 sf house to a 1250 sf house. Of COURSE things aren't going to "fit".:P The three carloads (mind you I have an excursion which is just a newer/fancier suburban) were filled from the back door to behind the front seats. That's a LOT OF STUFF!

   I have to keep thing in perspective for sure. I still have quite a bit to go but really what I have isn't all that much. Let me explain...I have a small mountain of boxes in my frontroom. Those boxes belong in the sewing shed. The sewing shed is still full to bursting because I haven't gotten those unpacked and organized out there. Why? Because it's been raining and snowing for weeks! I can't get the things out of the shed and set outside so I can organize the insides of the shed so I can get those things back inside the shed and put away because it's too wet! This can only mean one thing...the things in the frontroom can't be moved out there because it's not dry enough to put away what is already in there!...make sense? Probably not, but I get it and that's all that really matters, right?8^D

   Well, the long and the short of it is, I'm not insane, I can make this fit and it will all get put away in it's proper place in due time:) Oh sure, I still have a lot that is going to be taken to the second chance shoppes and mission, and that will happen in due time. I still have organizing to do in some rooms like the kitchen, mudroom and frontrooms but it's all coming together, even if it IS slowly.

   Oh...did I mention our meat birds are here?:P Yep! Those are now residing in my mudroom for the moment. I keep reminding myself it's only for a few weeks and in 8 weeks they'll be in my freezer! Can't wait:)

   Well, now that I've cleared that up in my head, I guess I'll head back to bed:)

   Have a very blessed and safe weekend. I'm watching it snow even as I write. I think I'll get back under my warm covers and snuggle till daylight:) HOpefully I'll get a few moments of actual sleep before that:)

God be with thee!

all I must do is make progress. It won't get done all at once. :P

You're getting there! Just keep setting goals and it'll be done before you have to be out in the garden weeding and hoeing. Hohoho! Just keep swimming. See you tomorrow.

Take a Breath!
