Do I really have to?

Isn't that just the perfect question to be asking? Do I have to? YES is the answer but not without the yammering of me! This unpacking of the boxes hasn't really taken all that long if you count the time out for Christmas, New Year's, visits from family members and my birthday. But just the same I seem to be the only one doing, well doing the lion's share of it anyway. Our mantel did get anchored to the wall the day before my birthday and that was really all I wanted. Was it an ordeal to get it done, of course it was...way too many chiefs in this family and everyone having an idea of the "best possible way" to accomplish it. It's up and it looks great and I have things on it, so on to the next task - placing everything that got unpacked. Easier to unpack the boxes, break them down, take them to recycling (a 20 minute drive each way) then decide where all this stuff goes! My desk is the last clear space and it is now topped with all the "stuff" that was in the built in desk and then some but I am slowly going thru and weeding out and filing (can you imagine?) some things and trying to get myself ready for tax returns. No no I am not doing my tax return, I have always left ours for someone to prepare.

My health; is good,I am working around the house here not really exercising but lifting boxes, emptying them, taking the stairs (4 floors), I feel pretty good. I haven't really been worn out since the snow fall weekend although little chinks in the plan or day that sway me the wrong way are met with some resistance. So I guess I do tire and then I rest, eat something and move forward. This doesn't have to get done in a short amount of time but it does help me to feel settled and then I feel lonesome for my friends and family in Southern CA. I also want to get this house settled so I can move forward here and "branch out" to concetrating on things other than myself, like a job or at the very least some volunteer work, maybe a job, settle into that and see how it goes, eh?

Just a quick update, let me hear from you, thehrdys@verizon.net
