not enough desire to do everything that needs to be done

I'm a procrastinator, always have been. It's hard for me to get on something and stay on it long enough to get it done. The problem continues. Combine that with my pack-ratted-ness and you can see how hard it might be to get the house ready to sell. I need Peter Walsh. Everything he says makes absolute sense. It's just that I'm not the kind of person he is. Somebody call the wah-mbulance!

No contemplation of jobs, but lots of working.

Been trying to get the house in shape for sale. Decided without the job I really don't have a reason to stay here except for the house. Family will come with me, so I won't have that pull on me. Bought my house at the top of the sales balloon and so the value is now really low. Will try to do/qualify for a short sale. Don't know what that means but I'm starting to look into it.

I'm mortified by the sheer volume of crap I have. Too many things weighing me down. I just want a dumpster to pull up to the front of the house so 3/4 of my possessions will trot out the front door and jump in. Who wants to haul all of their ridiculous history to a new place? Wouldn't it be nice to start with a clean slate?

Week One of Unemployment

Life is strange. Not an original statement but still true. The last week has been busy. Setting up unemployment claim, working on the house, checking job sites, baking and getting rained on. But not one regret over the loss of the job that I hadn't cared about any more, but still needed the money from.

What if you never needed to work again, but only worked if you wanted to? What would you do? What would I do? I'm going to give it some thought.
