Following my garage sale, the trip to Guatemala and then a huge estate sale I am out of the adobe and have left ABQ. I wasn't quite prepared to sale everything I own in 3-days. My plan was to stay in ABQ until the end of February, then head to Guatemala. I slept on a massage table for a week because I had no furniture. Once it sold, I had to get out.
I hadn't prepared myself mentally for the downsize to take place. Giving up my two kitties was the most painful thing I have ever done in my life. I felt I abandoned my children. A business associate took the boys and I know they will be happy once they get over the shock. Her family will take very good care of my beloved kitties. Now I remember why I don't ever cry. It's too painful, it hurts to cry. I still cry every time I think about them.
I was elated about the sale, that part felt good. It was surprisingly easy to go from 3000 square feet of jammed packed closets, drawers, cabinets and every inch of wall space filled to............ everything I own fitting into a 40 square foot U-Haul! I feel 10-pounds lighter as the stress of the huge financial burden I had every month is now gone.
It took us three days to get to Texas with me pulling a small trailer. The first night in Muleshoe, Texas, the second night in Gatesville. My sister and I caravan ed to my mothers house so I could use her house to store the few things for free that I decided to keep.
I'm trying to relax and it will take some time to not have to massage, clean house, price, pack or run errands. I haven't even made my arrangements to Guatemala yet either. Soon though.................21-30 days and I'll be a vagabond.
I'm already struggling as I can't find anything. Everything I own is in a box in my mom's garage. What happened to my underwear? I had to buy a few pairs as they have all been misplaced. Once I buy a backpack I'll be more organized, I'll have to be, My new life has started.
