Well I bailed yet again from my date. I guess it will be a while again before I get any….Really struggled through the day just couldn’t get my perky going you know. It’s a bit hard being non-perky when you have my job haha.
Found out yesterday that I am about 6 thousand short for the settlement on my house. Bloody taxes grrr ok so I have a week… I am going to the local swap meet on Sunday am going to sell all my stuff. Well all the stuff I don’t need anyhow. I have too many books for the new house I have come to this realization. I used to be so attached to my books, they were like a security blanket for me as a child. I have an entire wall of them and selling them will be a big deal for me. I will have to cull very carefully as I can’t sell any that are signed, 1st editions or were owned by family or special to read. Man this will be hard 
I also have to part with a lot of clothes. I have a fair amount of pretty expensive stuff that is now a couple of sizes too big for me now. I should just sell them now I need the cash.
I have been listening to this album a lot the last few weeks. Lisa Mitchells ‘Wonder’. You know how sometimes music just catches a moment in time. Well lately I am either listening to hip hop or this kind of stuff. Complete opposite styles but the one thing that links them together is their honesty in lyrics. It’s the gritty-ness that’s just getting me.
Really love this song right now. Have a listen. It’s not ‘for’ anyone in my life, I just love it…
Lisa Mitchell ‘So Jealous’ Wonder
I am just so damn tired.
I read some advice on Zen Habits about “letting go” of sentimental objects, it might help in culling your household goods.
Look at the “things” you have around the house – are you keeping them because you like the actual ITEM or because you value the memory attached to it? If it’s only the memory you value, take a photo of it, store it on your computer, then you “look” at it and relive that memory anytime you like, without having the actual item clutter up your house
I’m in the process of doing this, especially with stuffed toys and trinkets that I don’t particularly care for, but have sentimental meaning.
Thats great advice thanks.
The culling is making me feel clean and new.
I am beginning to think its an important part of my new life too
