under pressure

I am starting to feel the weight of our move on my shoulders.

If our contract goes through

--and we believe it will--

we'll close February 22 and evacuate by February 25.

I have a month from tomorrow to empty my house.

It is time to fish or cut bait!

I just texted our buyers a list of furniture pieces and prices.

Hopefully they'll be interested in some of them.

Or all of them!

I need to begin, room by room, making piles of:

keep and pack,

throw away,

garage sale,

Goodwill,

or keep to take to our rental.

The more I think about this move the more I want to unload e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g.

I'm going to have to research packing tips.

I don't have a clue how to protect my platters and pictures, i.e., my breakables.

I am seriously envious of my sister.

They'll be moving in April but, lucky them, Exxon will hire packers, movers, and unpackers.

I'm majorly jealous!!

There are so many things I know we'll junk.

Things that are not worth the effort or expense of moving.

I would LOVE to pack up our clothes, shoes, and few favorite items and leave everything else behind.

I'm not a lazy person. I just feel so overwhelmed/in over my head that I don't know where to start.

I really wish my mom was here!

She's the hardest worker I know.

Tomorrow morning I'll go to yoga then it's time to get busy.

This weekend is going to be a working weekend.

No fun and games.

No R&R.

We gottta work!
