I finally have a temporary assignment. I will most likely keep this assignment temporary because I am quite motivated to get a job with the State.
The Coffee shop has finally been moved into storage and we have begun piece selling. It is a little disparaging to see everything go, but I feel more free every day. I loved my shop but it was a lot of work. At least a 10 hour day, and sometimes 14 hour days, to drag yourself to bed and then wake up and do it again.
I am so glad to not have to go to 3 different vendors 2-5 times a week only to run out of the oddest thing. Michael talked to the security officer and she said that everyone was asking where I was, and why I was gone. She got mad at them because these were people who didn't frequent my store. They just wanted to nose around. I am glad to be free of downtown and it's stuffed mentality.
Our girls will be arriving in less than 2 weeks! The room is almost ready! We have 2 beds, 2 upholstered chairs, a dresser, and wooden book stands with purple crates.
We are in the process of going through our things and getting rid of as much as we can. We have sold some books, some unused equipment and even most of my unused yarn. I am literally sitting on a ton of yarn and I just need to be rid of it. I am selling it and making space.
We are trying to eliminate clutter and establish a more feng shui type of flow to our home. We aren't exactly minimalistic, but we are definitely making progress.
The kitchen is the reverse. I have a ton of stuff in there now thanks to the store. I am not exactly sure what I'll keep and what I'll try to sell, but I am sure that I'll figure it out.
We address the problem areas one thing at a time. With our whirlwind of a year we are finally getting to do those things that we didn't get to do in the first place.
Relax. Set up our home. Enjoy our life.
I am glad to be working. I have been listening to a lot of helpful and calming teachers.
We aren't quite out of the woods, but we are definitely on our way.
I am so excited. I can't wait for these girls to get here already.
