Friday was the last day of work. I cleared out my office and my computer, saving years of resumes, files, documents, and photographs on my thumb drive. Instead of feeling nostalgic or exhilarated or relieved, I felt nothing. I think I’m exhausted from the culmination of months of selling, clearing out, and closing up shop. And there was still more to do.
I spent yesterday with Mala & Eric at our garage sale. I woke up at 5:15 and started filling Gail’s truck with stuff to sell. We spent 7 hours selling and got rid of a lot. What didn’t sell went to Good Will. I’m sunburnt and burnt-out, but I can see the finish line. It says “July”.
I’ve been through that clearing-out process so recently…and it had unexpected emotional consequences for me, too. And you’re doing so much more. I’m not surprised that you’re feeling drained. I hope you have a massage or two planned…getting, not giving.
Visit in July? Did you get my email?
