Breaking Through, Travelling On

Wow less than 6 months or 168 days :j:j:j:j

I read bits of the thread and will be doing an :money: version ie fleabaying or car booting the chuck stuff :D:D Sorry charity shops :rotfl:

I fleabayed a lot of my stuff last year, and also sold a lot via Nearly New sales. Most stuff this year has gone to CS, but any 'outstanding' items will still be fleabayed. Kids stuff generally gets tried at NNS a couple of times, and then donated A lot of small OPs were made that way - and they soon add up!

I'll definitely be working on amazon/ ebay/ webuybooks/ abebooks this weekend, and I'll see what gives - I've got to do it, my kondo-ing is making the to-go pile of books uncomfortably large

List-achievement was abominable I *did* do the gardening, massive great bag of prunings, and a little one of grass, that was great. But nothing else - took half a dozen phone calls today, all spaced out, about visiting the hospice tomorrow, preparing for it, selecting card etc etc, postponed indefinitely 3 hours after final arrangements made. I feel sorry for her husband, who had to relay the message, and for my sister, who had to bear me prattling on at the start of what should be a joyous weekend for her in relation to the planning of her son's wedding, and I feel embarrassed for myself as I somehow turned into a weird version of Gwyneth Paltrow in the way I was rambling

I'm just going to work at not falling ill with torturing myself about it. It's an eye opener, for sure, but I'm done now.

KC, although I don't really know the ins and outs, I can tell you really care, but you have done your best now.

Hope you get some peace, you deserve it.

Karmacat

That's really kind, earthgirl - that helps with putting perspective on things, which is why I'm writing about it here, I suppose ... thank you, much appreciated.

I've been trying to have a me day today, because of the cancellation of the hospice trip ... hasn't quite worked! Though this afternoon was brilliant - an hour's pruning in the quarant that I mentioned to Cheery the other day, thats completely untouched. Its now touched Morning was good too, the tidying and scanning that I promised myself.

Then panic phone calls, about my brother - turns out he's not dead in a ditch somewhere, he's been out in the garden the *whole* afternoon, while his wife's been at her sister's - of such things as these are family dramas made ....

Does anybody remember the last episode of ER? I taped it from the TV - crying buckets! I think I'm going to release that into the wild, actually, don't fancy that again!

Have a good evening.

I loved ER when it was on - I'd like to watch it all again some day

Karmacat

Absolutely, it was wonderful! I still like Noah Wyle on Falling Skies, as I'm into science fiction

Starting to see a bit of sun get through the fog, I'm all for that. I think today might be a repeat of yesterday, which is boring but necessary, except that the phone calls today are the *planned* ones, not the unrealistic emergency ones :rotfl:

And I've rediscovered planefinder, so I can watch my sister's flight she'll freak out when she knows that's what big sisters are for, I think

Karmacat

Morning! Using planefinder was great :j though much more difficult than I anticipated for takeoffs and landings I'm sure she flew over my house as her plane was circling to land

Lots of bramble roots were got rid of yesterday, plus ordinary prunings. You Gov surveys, tidying, the lot. Tidying especially important as I'm starting work earlier than usual today - I need the digestion time on the computer, so I'm still here, but need to get cracking now.

Lovely and sunny outside

I love it as well :T. We like to play 'guess the flight' when planes go over (Marrakesh is a good bet if going south) and also good to watch progress of rellies & friends. When Mr GG was in the ME I loved watching his plane taxiing and taking off, knowing he was on his way back to me :heartsmil.

Well done on the brambles - I had a similar battle with cacti yesterday - luckily no-one was going past when the roots finally gave way and I ended up on my backside :rotfl:.
