disjointed...

I haven't started one of my posts with a disclaimer in awhile but I'm starting with one tonight - I am getting a pretty late start on my writing tonight so I'm not sure how long of a post this is going to be or if it's going to make a whole lot of sense or not...  So, I guess I'm encouraging you to read at your own risk (even though I do want you to continue reading).

This past week, I started going through some things in my apartment to start the daunting task of deciding what to keep and what to purge with my impending move.  I unfortunately didn't get as far this weekend as I had hoped to but the boxes I started with were filled with memories - some good and some not so good.  I was hoping to start going through my closet today but I didn't make it there. This is a short week at work (we get Friday off for Veteran's Day but I might have to go in for an hour or so to sign off on payroll) and I may or may not end up at jury duty (yes, as if I don't have enough on my plate, I have been potentially been summoned for jury duty) but my goal is to go through my closet by this time next week.

As I go through some of my boxes, I know that some of the contents I'll be able to take into work and the kids/teens will be able  to use them for their own creative purposes.  I have some boxes that I haven't really been in since I've moved here (back in 2009) and while some of that has been because I don't have much space here I guess part of it means I don't necessarily need what's in some of those boxes.  I know some stuff I might be able to sell or just give away and other stuff I think it just might be time to throw it away.  Hopefully that motivation will continue as I start going through boxes; I guess only time will tell...

I'm trying to not take the stress of packing up my apartment and trying to find a new place on my coworkers but one of them in particular is starting to get to me.  In a couple of different ways she's wanting everyone to go out of their way for her but she's not necessarily willing to reciprocate.  She's telling me that she's putting in all of this extra time so now she wants time off - which I'm not opposed to her getting but with other things going on in the building and her aspect of programming, there isn't a whole lot of time to be had for her to be off.  I guess I will figure out how to work some magic in order to make it happen...

As I'm sitting here, I am becoming overwhelmed again by the amount of work I have to put into this apartment in order to get ready to move so I think I need to put this away for tonight so I can calm down so I can get some sleep tonight.  Tomorrow should be interesting going into work because even though we gained an extra hour this weekend due to daylight savings, any time we "fall back" or "spring forward," it makes the kids crazy.  I apologize for how disjointed tonight's post was but I did put a disclaimer at the beginning...  Thank you for your love/support during this new facet of my quest and thank you for joining me, my dear readers!  =)
