Relocating is approaching! Time to bring out the clutter that was hidden from the potential buyers' eyes, and start packing! Efficiency demands that I sort and classify wisely, e.g., putting what should be stored in the basement, in the trunks, separate winter clothes from summer garments, and place all the photos, souvenirs and cards in clearly labelled boxes. There are two ways about this, do it here in Toronto, or throw everything into the moving truck, and take my time sorting things out in my new home. I'm sure either method is a definite personality trait. The question remains, which person do I want to be; the one who puts in the time and the effort now, enjoys her unpacking later, or the one who enjoys the present, and pays for it in the future! A few years ago I wouldn't have hesitated, but today, it seems that my shrinking prefrontal cortex is whispering, live for the moment, live for the moment!
That was my state of mind, last weekend!
This weekend, I'm completely a different person!
Since I've been running around like a chicken with its head cut off, people keep reassuring me that very soon, I'll have all the time in the world! I'm not sure if I like that idea! My head doesn't do well with too much time on my hands. Thus, I decided to continue running around like a chicken with its head cut off, in Cobourg as well! I've already secured myself a volunteer position at Northumberland Art Gallery, expressed my desire to write regularly for the Northumberland News (it has published me already once). Applying to the make-up counter at Sears, is next.
In order to stop associating retirement with dying, I decided to call my move, resignation! No, there will not be time in Cobourg to unpack and sort my belongings leisurely. This is a new phase, not the last! And, nothing says, I'm a lady on-the-go, better than a Lili-Pad (my personalized iPad, a gift from my students)!
