Moving & Stuff

[deedee]

I never know how much exta stuff I have until I move! It amazing how much I can collect. I am not sure why or how I ended up with 15 purses! Some the same color and style! I see a garage sale in my near future! I'm not moving all this stuff even if I am only moving across town!

Hey, I have bought the same identical coat two weeks apart!  It was a black and white houndstooth plaid, very classy.  Mid thigh length with a nice wide belt.  Took it home and hung it in the closet.  It was winter but still on the warm side.  Two weeks later I was shopping, fell in love with the coat and it was cold outside.  I bought it, wore it out of the store and got home. Went to hang it in the closet and viola!  There was an identical coat!  I had just started back on my methotrexate so another incident that was not recorded.  It seems there is no one pushing the record button when certain meds are being taken.  I have heard doctors refer to it as "chemo brain".  Very scary that you can go through the day and appear quite normal and have no recollection of so many things.  How many other people have experienced this while taking meds?

Thanks! I don't feel so bad about the purses. I just took a box full of clothing,stuff,,,up to Goodwill, I told the lady I might be up there a lot in the next few weeks. She said don't worry she see's the same people over and over. It's amazing I had that many purses (only used 3 of them in four years). I really try and not buy and collect so much anymore, but I think its easy to accumulate stuff. I just don't want to pay movers to move stuff I don't need and I don't have the engery to pack and unpack anything extra.

My son and D in L came for a visit and I gave her 2 garbage bags of shoes and boots and about 10 handbags I had never used or worn. They were things I purchased because I just loved them and got a bargain. I also gave her all the clothes I hadn't worn for a few months. It was so liberating. She was happy and I was thrilled.

Now, I need to get rid of baskets. Another trip up to Goodwill. At least the lady knows I'll be back!

I hate moving! The packing, the tears, the boxes, the tears, the loading, the tears, the unloading, the tears, the unpacking the te....well, you get what I mean!

.................have no recollection of so many things. How many other people have experienced this while taking meds?

Leslie I have experienced this and I'm NOT on meds what does that tell you about me ! It's very scary when you have no recollection of something fairly significant .

I honestly think it's systems overload so many things going on in our lives we just get so saturated we just can't process it all.

Diane it's a great feeling to purge and simplify declutter your life ........ Love purging myself but I have to be motivated ! Moving for sure is a great motivator . If I was closer I would give you a hand .

I took the morning off from packing and went out in service with sisters at my new KH. We had mostly HBH's and NH's, I was so worried  about meeting new ones, but the sisters took real good care of me. I should know by now that anywhere in the world I go I have a brotherhood & sisterhood of fellow believers who are priceless. Jehovah always takes care of us! I found a new place and new friends!
