Hola,
I'm on a tight deadline to empty what our home was. Saying goodbye to the houseplants has been more complex than saying goodbye to things that I have gathered over the years. I gave away a whole box of plants today to someone I know will likely chop them up to make a buck or two. Poor plants, at least it has reduced the collection down, still a long way to go. It is not that easy to sell things, so I will likely have to give away a lot of stuff.
I have been offered loft space, which filled me with joy, as there are some things that you don't want to get rid of. Like some of the books I read to my boys when they were little, as I was hoping that one day I would get to read them to my Grandchildren. Also, my Christmas tree decorations that we have collected since my boys were born. Every year, we would purchase a new one to put on the tree. Most other things I don't mind releasing; my book collection has been challenging to say goodbye to. I have managed to whittle it down to about 10 books to keep. Photos are another thing, as they hold precious memories, and I only have a few of those.
A lot of the garden plants went to their new home this weekend; it looks very sad out there with many of them gone. I still have so much to try and list and sell. The house is in a constant mess, so that is not much fun either. What money I have made I have spent on food, and I am practically eating not even a meal per day, which makes me feel really crappy. I don't even know who to ask to help me with big things or tip runs. But I know I have to leave it empty for at least 18 days so I can clean it, so if I am quieter than usual on socials now, you know why.
I am not even thinking about Christmas as it usually fills me with dread anyway, and this year even more so because I will be in the way of someone, and I hate that feeling. I hope you all have a Christmas filled with joy.
Muchos love x
