Bag of Holding

I could use one of those! Today is a day dedicated to cleaning, organizing, sorting and pre-packing in preparation for our move. (Where to? Don't know! When? Soon! ... ish.)

There are so many things! Of course, there's regular cleaning, which I haven't been doing that great at keeping up on, and then organizing STUFF. I myself have lots of STUFF to organize. Art STUFF. Boxes of old art, more boxes of art supplies ... what to keep, how to keep, WHERE to keep. Books. SO MANY BOOKS. Books from the past, books for the future, books I read ... Clothes. I don't have THAT many clothes to organize, although Shani does!

I went next door to the ice cream parlor for breakfast. (They sell food items too!) Karen had heard that we were moving. We talked a bit about it, and she offered to save us boxes from her supplies, and to loan us some of her better boxes for the moving day. So sweet! That is one of the reasons I'm going to hate leaving Creswell. There are so many friendly people here who really love us! I mean, THE ICE CREAM LADY FROM NEXT DOOR! How often do you run into that, really? And our landlords. They love us too. It's just gonna be really hard to leave all that. : /

I'm looking forward to heaven where nobody has to leave ever!

I did wake up this morning with another panic attack. I'm not sure what else to call them, because they aren't actual panic attacks as defined by lots of different symptoms, etc. Just an overwhelming sense of fear and anxiety, accelerated heart rate and trembling. It was harder to calm down this time.

I experience this a lot during the end of the school year when things are uber stressful. I'm a little confused as to why it's happening NOW. I'm chalking it up to the stress of moving and change.

Anyway! Shani has arisen from bed, which means I better get to work! Also, it's 10:45, which is ALSO a good sign I should get to work! There is work to be done! And I shall do it!

I'm off!
