Thanksgiving–4 Days Left
I was invited to spend Thanksgiving with a friend, but I declined because I have too much work to do getting ready for the movers to arrive tomorrow and don’t have time for visiting. I had planned to go out to a restaurant, eat and come home, but I didn’t even have time for that–and I still have a lasagna to eat.
I’ve been backing up my computer for about 24 hours, first with Mozy and now with Norton Ghost. I don’t want a repeat of the disaster I experienced this summer. My current plan is to mail my external hard drive to my sister before I roll out of town on Monday.
I still need to get my cleaning supplies together so I’ll be able to clean the apartment this weekend, pack my suitcase and go through my storage space (still!). Tomorrow I’ll know how much of my food is being packed by the movers, how much I’ll have to take in the truck and how much I’ll need to discard.
I also feel a need to clean my truck. I should have done that today, but my backups took too long. At some point, I’ll have to pack my truck and then unpack it at the car wash. I don’t know why I feel I need to clean the truck since it certainly will not be clean when I get to Colorado. Just one of those things with me, I think.
For the same reason, I always thoroughly clean my house or apartment before I go out of town because nothing ruins a good vacation like coming home to a mess.
Here’s today’s food for thought: I was feeling bad every day since moving to this apartment, and now I feel good every day. I think it’s because on some level I knew that moving here was a mistake, that I should have just gone to Colorado right away. I don’t think you have to be a widow to understand that when you’re ignoring the little voice in your head that knows what you should be doing, you’re going to be unhappy. If you’re unhappy, ask yourself if there’s a little voice trying to tell you that you should be doing something else.
