I have a tub of stuff that has been sitting there for me to go to Goodwill for weeks.
I tossed my last skirt on there. I've realized I wear skirts or comfy dresses around the house in the summer but when I go outside it's in pants.
But it's more than that. I got a notification about community classes - art, cooking (although nothing I could actually eat), languages, what not. But the times were bad for me or so I keep telling myself. I think I just need to find one and see if I can still register and do it.
Plus I know with therapy there is going to be some major emotional upheaval. I think part of me wants to get the physical upheaval done.
Right there with alla y'all. Was already there but the urgency has been kicked up a notch.
My house is currently a disaster and that is keeping me from having people over and spending time with them. I really need to work on that.
Kelly Sue DeConnick (comic book writer extraordinaire, of Captain Marvel, Pretty Deadly, and Bitch Planet, and one half of the DeConnick/Fraction duo) wrote in her last email blast about the concept of the Uberlist, where you write down everything you want to accomplish for the entire year. She posts about it here
Think about the coming year and what you'd like to accomplish. List the reasonable and the ridiculous, the practical and the absurd. When you run out of steam start thinking in terms of categories - what would you like to accomplish in your CAREER this year? Your HOME? Your LOVE LIFE (you dirty little minx...)?
When you're done, the best thing to do is post your list somewhere where you'll see it regularly. E. Bess put hers up in her kitchen one year. I usually tack mine up over my desk. Or, print it really small and carry it around in your wallet.
You should make an Uberlist. Really you should. It's fun and you like fun. Do it. And then write me next December and let me know how you did.
I'll post my list here and do the same.
I did it, and it really helped me crystallize all of the things I wanted to do and change in my life. I am pretty sure I won't get to them all, but at least I know where I want to go.

Me too.
Yeah. Good lord, yeah.
I've felt like I'm drowning in *stuff* everywhere I look. It gets me all panicky like.

Yes, this, but somehow it never stops me from buying more stuff.
