A Travel Log – continued
Part V: It’s easy to say ‘one step at a time’ and it’s a little more complicated to do it. Today is Tuesday and the list of things to do seems to be growing exponentially. All the notices and letters have been submitted and approved for early release from my lease. The other additions to that To Do List are autoships that need to be cancelled or paused, Change of address notices to Post Office, and assorted email notifications. The POD has been ordered. The initial sorting has begun and packing begins tomorrow. AND this apartment is a mess!!!! The puppies have decided they’ve had enough and are going to spend a few days at the Bed and Biscuit – Dog Pad! Lucky puppies!
What is calling me now is the need to start setting aside the ‘essentials’ that I will want in Louisiana immediately, e.g., my coffee cup, the French Press, the puppies’ food, computer supplies and equipment, important papers. Oh, and clothes and toiletry items!
I did finally find the second set of keys for the apartment after a brief and panicked search through drawers and other special storage place. Whew~.
What has also been interesting to observe is the impact my mental and physical fatigue has had on my emotional state. I am excited about this move and know that the path will become very clear as I step out on to it, that the doors will open, and the resources required to support the journey are in place. And yet, this afternoon, it felt like I was having a small panic attack or at least a bit of an ‘on sh*%’ moment or two. Of course, that was exactly the time when the puppies decided to bark at the squirrels outside!!!
Deep breath ~ deep breath ~ deep breath! I reminded myself to sit down, listen to some music, call to mind what I know to be true and rest! The center is calm again. The heart and mind are back in alignment and all again is unfolding as it should! There is so much to be grateful for…
Now it’s time to put the office back into some semblance of order and get organized for tomorrow;s packing!
More later!
