More differentness

I spent my second night at a place we'll call Bob and Kate's Home for Wayward (Middle Aged) Women, and it is not half bad, so far. My cat, who you might recall biting me in violent resistance to ever leaving my apartment, seems to be taking the transition well. I put out food and water and he ate and drank and found a place to curl up and doze and I thought... gee. Now there is an enlightened being. I should be more like that.

So for two nights now I have slept amid the rubble - boxes, bags of "stuff" - unfamiliar furniture, curtains I did not hang - and I have been ok. I am not breaking any records for mental health or anything, but I feel pretty much... yeah. Fine. (This is either numbness due to over-stimulation of my entire everything, or it is disorientation so profound that the needle just flails around until it gives up and hits the middle. Or... maybe I am... fine. I have no idea).

I just have to figure out where to put all my stuff. And then I can cross off my list the "move to the other place" item and perhaps I will calm down even more. And then maybe I can read blogs again, work on other projects long overdue, and oh, see my friends some time soon or even... make it to the gym.

Thanks to everyone who has helped me cope for the last six months (or really year and a half, if you started reading last June). The move puts me one step closer to sanity and one step further away from financial ruin; plus, it is a huge, stressful project that is now over - save the putting away of the stuff, which I find I am in no terrific hurry to do.

Am I still talking? Let me stop now.

Thank you for reading.

Yeah for fine! Fine is....well fine. A good step forward. Hang in there and keep chugging along.

Sorry the cat bit you, but I'm glad both you and he are doing O.K. post-move. One thing at a time and it will get done.

Says the person who moved in March and has hung a total of two pictures.

I feel relief. I'm glad the move is over. I hope too that right now you're fast asleep and having sweet dreams or just deep dark restorative sleep.

I love the part in parentheses in the second paragraph, and think it may just be some of all of the above.

Blessings and happiness in your new home. XOXO

I think you are damn fine, babe!

And I moved in over two years ago, and still have a whole room of stuff I have not unpacked yet.
