Two U-Boxes have been emptied in a calm and organized manner in a surprisingly short time and perfect weather. There was a little damage, part of it from storage where WH hadn't handled it carefully. I wasn't surprised.
But it was such a treat to work with my son. If this had been done with WH, there would have been stress, swearing, non-stop hyperactivity, impatience over me wanting to figure out how to organize the things, hurry to get done, etc. Instead, we paced ourselves, took a break when we needed to, took the time to plan out how to best place everything, etc. I keep noticing how peaceful my life is.
I'm also noticing that I have lived in a high-drama/stress environment for a long time and it's become a habit, so it can feel like a void when no one is yelling and stomping around or having a crisis. I know this is something ACA deals with so I need to read more up on it.
I've taken a long rest so will start unpacking a little. Tomorrow, I start a part-time temp job that will go through mid-October. Then I have something else probably starting on November 1st. Not enough income but I'm just riding the waves for now. I had big plans about getting my own place but I've got to give myself more time.
