Today, I had the closing on Dad's house. It was far quicker than I expected, and much easier. It was also a bit bittersweet because all I can think of are the things I left behind. I know that I don't want or need them, but there's that bit of regret that always seems to happen with things like this. But at least this part has finished. I just need to wait for another couple months to get the remainder of the money after debts are paid. There shouldn't be a lot of them so I should still get a good amount. That, combined with what I'm getting back from my taxes... I should have a bit of a hefty padding to keep us afloat if things go bad.
I spent time this past week decluttering my closet. I got rid of a lot of crap that was just taking up space, reorganized my clothes in the closet, and put several things in a bag for Goodwill. I was pretty pleased with how it all came out, and I'm no longer afraid of opening my closet to get something out of it. I've got several multi-item hangers that help a lot with my leggings and several of my shirts. Having the room to actually separate everything out helps a lot too. There were a lot of crafting things that I had to throw away because a bottle of fabric glue opened in the container it was in. But I probably would have gotten rid of it anyway, since I'm not getting a chance to do much in the way of crafting. I have a bunch of yarn that I'm going to mail off to a friend that crochets. All in all, I'm feeling really proud of what I got done.
All month, I keep saying that I'm going to send a letter. Tonight, I'm taking the time to write one. I'm sending a letter to one of my best friends from high school, someone I haven't seen in over 30 years. I'm looking forward to sharing a bunch of what's been happening in my life with her.
All in all, I'm making progress and progress is what all of this is about!
