Reality sets in

I have......9 boxes left to unpack(not counting scrapbook stuff).  9!!  But that isn't an easy statement as these are the tough boxes of stuff I have no idea what to do with.  I have about 1.5 shelves left for stuff and 9 boxes of stuff.  I am going to have to start on them but I think I'm going to have to play a game with myself to make it through.  Here are a few ideas:

• Put them in a circle and play musical chairs but with boxes. When the music stops, the box must go.
• Work on 1 box a week.  I will be finally unpacked by September.
• Work on 1 box a day.  I will surely get tired of it and address the stuff by tossing it
• Take everything out and put it on the floor and stare at it until I am forced to address it (in September)
• Turn on my favorite "kick ass" music and dive in.  The moving grit just has to stick around

Not sure which approach will win but I have a weekend open without many plans so it is perfect to move to action.

Once I have the house unpacked, I am going to go work on the storage unit.  Those lovely movers stacked 4 super large and heavy boxes on top of each other in the corner.  I would guess it is 45 feet tall (exaggeration but might as well be because I can't do anything with the stack as it is....maybe 7 feet tall) and each box might as well be 50 lbs each.

One little hickup in  my giddy up is I am going to Moab next weekend and need to find my "glamping" (glamour camping) items.  Who knows where the stuff is in this storage unit box of mess.  Flashlight, step, beach towels, table cloth, garbage sacks, etc.

What I am realizing is once I get settled, I have no little projects.  No organizing.  No honey do projects.  Notta!  I've not found myself in this situation in....oh...like....20 years!!  I am going to have to figure out how to be a lady of leisure.  I could actually read books, watch movies, and enjoy hobbies without guilt!  I can work on my friendships and make sure I keep my circle active with fun things to do.  I could volunteer or do community things I've always thought were fun but too tired or busy to add.  Hell.  I could jump in the car and go on weekend roadtrips!!  I have no grass to tend or weeds to pull.  I don't even have a closet that will need cleaned out because it literally just happened.

It is an interesting reality....really.  I do have a bit more more before I get there but it is coming.  I hope I am ready.  I've been planning this for years!
