Tired and wore out
I am physically worn out and it is official that I have lost weight in the process of moving. About 10 pounds best as our scale says anyway. That is not why I started this though.
There is this amazing thing that we as humans do on a regular consistent basis and yet still forget or refuse to do it. Communicate. In these "modern times" what I am doing here is a form of communication. Email is a major form of communication that is sometimes considered non communication. I don't get that mentality but it happens. What did people do when there weren't phones? It is my understanding that they wrote letters. Seems to me as if email is just mini letters sent electronically rather than through snail mail. So, does that make it invalid as a form of communication? I know I do better through writing - it allows me to think through what I have to say before I blow up due to emotions. It allows me to consider the other person and not just myself. My husband and I actually argue over IM. It works very well for us. And it is hard to smack someone when they aren't physically present. (although I don't hit him when we argue - I do think about it sometimes - HA!). So, I just wanted to say that if I ever talk to you through IM or send an email I do it because I do that better than with oral communication. I just had that weighing on me and wanted to share it.
We are moved in with just the garage to clean out (like a weeks worth of work!) at the old place. I started the fall yard clean up yesterday over there hoping that would help to sell it. No takers yet and I am beginning to wonder. I need about a days worth of sleep and a magic wand to put this house in order. I reckon it will be a 5 year process with all the crap we have. What is really funny is I am sure I just unpacked the last box in the old house right before we moved!
