im deep cleaning my room and it feels like im deleting parts of my life

This statement left me bemused, so I had to quote it. Sometimes things fall out of and then back into your life. I don't think I've ever intentionally done that, just by happenstance. Though it can be the reflexive reaction to information we can't yet process. Like, how as a kid so many dirty jokes can fly over your head and then years later when you rewatch things you're left  aghast.

Letting Go

Days Left: 67 Today was the first full day off of work I've had in a while, and I spent most of it the same way our cat spends most of her life; snuggled into the couch, drifting in and out of sleep, whilst watching the Tony Awards. Maybe she doesn't watch the Tony Awards, she's more of a Buffy the Vampire Slayer kind of cat.

Anyway, I was feeling extremely guilty for having done nothing all day, when there is still so much that needs to be done before I go. So I decided to start boxing up some of my things in my room. Mainly because my room was a pigsty and needed cleaning, but also because my room in mostly composed of books, which are easy to pack.

My room looks less cluttered now and I'm starting to feel a bit sombre. Only because my room is the smallest in the house, and is very much my 'cupboard unter the stairs', where I have little collected knick knacks on shelves, and draws full of trinkets and treasures that have no significance to anyone but me.

Packing it away, and even throwing some of it away, has been difficult, but I am trying my very best to be as ruthless as possible. Especially with my clothes. I'm going to be selling a majority of my clothes, and possibly some of my knick knacks.

One step closer to moving I guess. Over this week, I plan on sorting out most of my clothes, and finishing off some art projects that must be completed before I go.

I'll post some pictures tomorrow of what I'm working on.

Too-rah!
