Update on Moving.............

This is a general "Hi All!" and THANK YOU! for healing prayers for these past few weeks..........

An 'update' on my hand injury.........Upon my last visit to my hand specialist she declared my hand was "not broken" yet was not out of the woods in terms of seriouis injury.......there is still a concern for tendon damage......and I was advised to see a specialist on the other end of my move should I still have pain.....

The good news is it seems to feel better with each day.  I am still wearing a brace and have enlisted packing help to make this ominous task a little less strenuous.........

Although I have not been able to avert the emotions that come from packing up my life and moving onto the next phase........There are no words to describe how this feels.........and the beginning of this week sees me facing the reality of my decision to change things up a 'bit'.........

Today my ace 'packer pal' Pam comes, with possible back up from her pal Sandra.........our adgenda will be to finish up the packing of my townhouse........my bed and bedding.......and all the piles of 'flotsam' that remain.......the stuff that floats around my house constantly......papers, receipts......books.....odds and ends that don't want to go into boxes or the waste basket until the very end..........

Then after that hopefully 'we' and not just 'I' will head to my studio to do the same there and meet the gal who is buying the last of my large flat files...........

Tomorrow I pick up a 14' truck from U Haul in the morning, the kind with a ramp.......and meet my movers here.  They will load 'er up and take the contents of my dwelling to the storage unit first........and then head to my studio to load up the boxes that are there...........my goal is to fit all of it snugly into the 10' X 15' indoor storage unit.........fingers crossed please...........I am entertaining all of the glitches that might occur.......

One glitch I did not anticipate was tossing my favorite rain jacked onto an iron I forgot to unplug in my messy studio on Saturday..........ruining both the tiny antique iron (I had used to iron some silk.....just 'cuz) and my 'perfect shade of rosy lavendar pink' Marmot jacket...........another lesson in mindfulness.....and the good news is, as my sister pointed out.........I did not burn down the building.

I guess it is simply impossible to stay focused with such a task at hand.......

For the rest of the week.......certain and hopeful I will complete this moving into storage task on Tuesday........I hope to run out to sqeeze some family after that.........then spend Wednesday night with friends who have offered a bed.......and run around on Thursday finishing up all the loose ends in town........On Friday I plan to turn Shirley (my car.......my temple) to the West........

Until then........I remain......

Overwhelmed..........
