In just one week

By Emily on July 22, 2012

In just one week, everything will be packed and the UHaul will be loaded. That is the reality because it has to be.

But when I look around my house, at the total catastrophe of stuff everywhere, and the piles of papers I still haven’t sorted, and just how many things still need to go into boxes, I am overcome with what must be despair.

Maybe it’s just the day after garage sale blues (successful garage sale, even) or the fact that Sundays are often a little melancholic. Or maybe I’m finally a little closer to facing reality about things, the reality that I won’t finish if I keep doing what I have been doing at the rate I’ve been doing it for two weeks.

I guess the other way to look at this is that in one week and one day, I’ll be on the road and finally starting with the next adventure. Austin, Texas here I come.

Now please just let me get through this week.

About Me

photo of miamired I like writing, photography, reading, music, design, typography, paper products, days in the seventies and sparkly snow, Spanish wine and cans of PBR. I spent a year in Córdoba, Spain, working as a language and culture assistant through the Spanish government, traveling, and writing about it here. After a few years back in my home state of Montana, I moved to Austin, Texas, where I like to go exploring, take pictures of my food, write letters, dream of far-off places, and think about concepts of home.
