This week and next, and last week for that matter, I'll be packing and sorting and sorting and packing. It is hard to go through all my things and try to figure out what to take now, what to have brought or sent later, what to leave in storage here, what to give away or sell and what to throw out.
Some of the sorting is good and necessary. Some of it is just plain hard and time consuming. Some of it is alarming (how did I end up with so much stuff that I don't want to part with!). Right now I think I've narrowed down the worldly possessions that I intend to keep for as long as I can to about 10-50lb. suitcases. No easy feat, I can assure you. I'm hoping that there won't be more before I'm done. I've given away about that much stuff too. It is amazing how easy it is to accumulate! It's also scary to think of having to start over again. But, one step at a time--purge, then binge. :D
On top of the packing, I've been a little under the weather again this week. I'm not sure if it is low blood pressure, back/joint pain or just not sleeping well, but I am having a hard time keeping my energy up. It could be the heat too, I suppose, although in general I am doing better with that this year. It is extra frustrating to have my energy sapped during these two weeks when I need to focus on packing and finishing things up with the office (and of course, there is Ellie's quilt), so I would appreciate your prayers both for energy and for grace to deal with the fatigue and extra joint pain. Even typing is painful right now. :( And for wisdom to focus my energies in the places where they need to go, not getting caught up in unnecessary things.
It is hard to believe I'll be leaving here in two weeks!
Note: It rained this evening which probably accounts for the extra joint pain. Hopefully that will simmer down now although they are predicting more rain for the weekend and next week.
