Just stood there and cried...

I'm sorry you're having such a tough time Deb. But it looks like you've already gotten some good advice here. Slow down, de-stress, give yourself a break. I hope life gets easier for you and your move winds up going smoothly.
 
I still feel rage sometimes, and it's the little things that get to me. I'm always slipping on loose newspapers I've torn up to use on wrapping the items I transport, stepping on bubble wrap - I thought I was shot! I was carrying a large potted plant down the stairs and almost slipped with it. I also carried a large box down and thought I was on the last stair - NOT. A miracle I didn't wrench my back.

Well you and I share a birthday Deb... Aries are archetypally clumsy because we are always working at flat out speed..impatient to get things done, so just remember to slow down, and take things easy.. if you fall and break your neck you'll never know the joy of your new house without the aid of a wheelchair ... so just take things easy...and methodically..
 
Trying to, but the pressure is on to get moved so I can put this one on the market before the housing boom bubble bursts and I have to keep paying taxes, insurance and utilities on two houses. Many people that come in to look at the things I'm trying to sell say what a nice house it is, but they only see the front, not the standing water in the cellar or the toilet occulded with mineral deposits, or the kitchen ceiling knocked out to get to the plumbing.
 
Deb, I can't imagine how hard the move is for you. My husband and I moved a little over 3yrs ago. I lived in the city from when I was born. I lived on the same street and even bought a house on the same street after I got married. I am still trying to adjust but I am happy we moved. Packing up wasn't any fun but thankfully it got all done.I hope and pray things get better and easier for you. You deserve to be happy.

I know crying, growling and throwing things doesn't solve anything, but with overwhelming frustration, it's difficult not to.

Sometimes it releases pent up emotional pressure though... As does sharing with us or journaling. I hope no one ever reads my frustrating times journals because I free associate and dump all the emotions sometimes using very foul language. It's cathartic.

Hugs to you as you go through this seemingly overwhelming change.
 
Deb You and all are just wonderful even if one thing gets done a hundred or nothing.

I over did today or tried to and suffered a minor heat stroke, my heart slowed down as well as my breathing.

No shame at all, no need to measure of to anyone else. Do only what you wish every attempt and completion is a win, Thank you for being you always...A real wonderful person....
 
I went to take a load to the new house this morning. I got to the street and there were sawhorses blocking it and signs "ROAD CLOSED". I drove down a side street and back out on the main road thinking I could get in from the other side. When I got there, same thing. I saw a hard-hat and asked him how long the road was going to be closed. He said "For a while." That is pretty indefinite! He also said they are only letting people that live there through and asked if I live there. I said I didn't but I owned property and was moving. He grudgingly let me through, but I had enough anyway being so hot. I

Then I noticed on the stair landing there's a 36" x 18" x 15" bench seat. It has a storage compartment. To think how many times I've walked past that and not thought to look in it. Guess what? It was filled to the brim with curtains and drapes. Another fit of hysteria and rage. No one is going to want those old curtains, the contents of the house are just multiplying and multiplying.

I haven been shopping in two weeks - been eating freezer burnt food to use it up so I don't have to include that in my moving. No store brand diet soda - not much of anything on my list, Internal RAGE - can't let it out in public . I asked a stocker as calmly as I could what was it with the bare shelves. He said this was "inventory week", so they are busy with that and aren't restocking much - only the very basic foods.

RAGE - RAGE - RAGE

So glad, with my move missed a step and broke my back and foot, Not worth it
 
I admit freely I am overwhelmed. Problem is - people I know are already busy with their own lives and have more problems than I do, or they are too old or incapacitated to be any help. Why did everyone elect to get knee surgery just now?
 
Those dumpsters usually rent by week/month whatever and the rate per day goes down. It might be worth it to pay for a longer period. Talk to them. Don’t move things twice.
