Friday
Oh dear LORD I am feeling overwhelmed!
I will keep this short, because we are trying to pack a million things right now and there is no room to pack anything and nowhere to put it once its packed!
We took a load of stuff over to mother’s house tonight and formed a game plan. The extension is really quite nice now that it is finished, and I don’t think it is going to be quite the tight squeeze we had imagined.
Picked up the esky from my sister’s house.
Got hamburgers for dinner (now feeling SICK).
Feeling very frustrated with M, who has serious hoarding tendencies. I feel like I am accusing everyone of being a hoarder lately, but he has some seriously weird hangups. I found packaging from underwear he bought years ago. He had kept hold of the package that beef jerky came in (I think around Christmas) because he wanted to keep the little moisture absorber packet inside (for what I have no idea, considering it stinks and that we have a whole bag of those little packets that I bought ages ago). Endless bottles of hotel shampoo and conditioner. Three bottles of laundry liquid that each have a trickle left in the bottom, a trickle so small that it won’t pour out of the bottle, but we have to keep the bottles so he can cut them open one day and use the last of the liquid.
It freaking disturbs me and I am unsure how to deal with it, particularly being a person who will gladly trash items that haven’t been handy within recent months.
This is getting long, and time is short. I have been so stressed lately that all I want to do is just climb into bed, but instead I am pacing the apartment, trying to make a pile of items for me to load into the car in the morning, and tearing my hands through my hair!
This is the last night here, and this time tomorrow night I will most certainly be asleep in our bed at mother’s house. Just think of that – and all I have to do is survive the next 24 hours. I can see WHY I am feeling stressed, but I really think I am overreacting as usual, and I find that very frustrating. I can’t control my emotions! Disaster!
Hoarding would drive me nuts, too! Especially trash. Good luck with the big move!

Yay! This time tomorrow you’ll be OUT! I think I’ve got some hoarder tendencies (not quite to the extent of empty wrappings) but it pisses me off to have stuff that I don’t use so I force myself to throw things out or give them away. I’ve been going through my clothes in the last couple of weeks and went a little overboard and now I don’t have half the clothes I think to wear haha. Betterthan the alternative though. Ryn You won’t even be working with them. You shouldn’t have any part of finding a new person! If you were a lesser person having to find your own replacement, you’d just be throwing anyone up for it. Sometimes it sucks having work ethic! Is the plan to have them start before you leave so you can show them how things work as well?

See? I am NOT a hoarder like that. And yet I do have a lot of moisturisers I haven’t used in years … but I’m slowly getting through them (i.e. throwing them out bit by bit) in the lead-up to my move. And some of them I used up and then threw out, in the last few months. 😉 But one of those fresh food sachet things? I wouldn’t feel the need to keep that, or an empty packet that had my new undies in it.
