Everything is a word that conjures up horrible images when you’re a hoarder or just have too much stuff.
It’s not something that you really want to hear, ever.
Once it’s out, where do you go with Everything?
How did Everything fit in that room?
Can’t you just get rid of Everything?
When you try to evict Everything, you will find out exactly how much control over your life it really has.
But wow, getting there is really hard. Like, knock me down every two steps and punch me in the face when I stand up kind of hard.
It’s overwhelming times a thousand.
Worth it?
YES!
Ok, I’m being a little melodramatic tonight but some days it’s still hard to grasp how much can get accomplished in three weeks.
There were so many times that I wanted to break down and cry but I kept moving. One box after another went out the door. Mostly without help.
That was the worst part of all of it. Where was everyone when I really needed help?
I couldn’t wait to get back to work so I could take a break but I’m so grateful that I had those PTO days available. There’s no way that I could’ve finished without them.
So, just remember, if I can clear out a house with minimal help in a few weeks, you can do it too if you ever need to do that.
I’ll start posting some pics and explanations next week. I still have a lot to do in the next few weeks so please forgive me if my posts are few and far between. We will all get caught up soon!
In case you’re wondering, nothing bad has happened. It’s all good, hopefully. I’ll find out if it’s good next week. There’s a chance I might not have good news but I guess either way, it’s good because I never would’ve done all this without the motivation.
