This Friday we have a floor refinishing company coming. We
will have our living room and dining room, hallway and one bedrooms floor
refinished. Ours is not a large house, they will refinish a little over 500
square feet. Before the work can begin we must move all of the furniture out of
those areas. This task has been dangling like a noose around my neck. While I
am delighted that after 17 years we can finally redo our floors the basically
moving out part, does not delight me.
Because I like to make things interesting and somewhat more
stressful, I have plans to fly to Connecticut on Thursday to see my oldest
daughter. Sooooo, I must clean the garage, then get the furniture into the
garage (with my husband’s help of course) do my normal motherly/wifely duties
and pack to leave. My husband and daughter will be living in our basement for a
few days since we have a walkout basement. I will return on Sunday for a couple
more days of basement living with my loved ones and then finally put everything
back in the house and hopefully live a more calm life. Hahahahaha, I know that
was funny right?
I am constantly in awe of the fact that I like to pack so
much into my life. I suppose it is not a totally bad thing other, then the
stress. I watch people shove way more into their lives; I just cannot imagine
how they do it. Is it worth it? I am not sure; do you gain more by being a busy
person? I use to tell my husband that life is a buffet and I can never decide
what I want, so I choose it all. Now I am not so sure. I wonder if I just do
not like any empty moments. I know I like my writing time and my quiet time
sitting on my deck, but I am happiest when I have something going on, something
to plan, some place to be or task to accomplish.
This week, I get all three…yippee! I have plenty going on. I
have to figure out how to put all of this furniture in my garage, I am leaving
for Connecticut and I have to accomplish it all before I leave for the airport early
Thursday afternoon. So I might as well get going and stop letting this noose
stress me out. It’s a noose of my own making and if I just get busy it will
disappear. This my friends, is going to be one heck of a fun week.
