Todo List and Hillbillies
I went through my todo list this morning, since I hadn’t visited it in a while, and surprisingly a lot of items could be marked off or deleted due to this move. I don’t have to put a new exhaust on the blue bronco, I don’t have to clean out the garage and basement anymore, I don’t have to straighten up my father’s room anymore, the construction projects to this house no longer need to be done.
It’s actually quite nice being able to mark all that stuff off. I love completing items on my todo list, it makes me feel happy and productive. I keep a list of all the things I’ve done at the bottom so I’m reminded that no matter how long my todo list gets, my done list is even longer.
I’m sure new items will be added once we have a place of our own.
Our driveway looks like a bunch of hillbillies live here, which I guess technically is true. We have junk piled up around the trailer to eventually load in. We have chairs sitting out there, a picnic table, old plows etc. My father and I were lounging out there last night listening to Hank Williams and singing along off-key rather loudly. The neighbors may think we’ve lost our minds, but it was good to relax and feel simple and content for once. I like that we can still laugh and be silly despite everything else.
I let our turtles go the other day. I took them to my nemeton and thanked them for spending so much time with us and to have a good journey.
The ex-husband also stopped by and picked up a few boxes of his things. And the Aunt and crew stopped by today to help dig up plants and flowers to take up and plant at their place for now.
I’m becoming increasingly more and more excited about buying a house. Simply the thought of having a house that isn’t condemned, doesn’t have so much work to be done to it, and being able to redecorate…it must have all of my girlie instincts kicking in.
So many neighbors keep stopping by after finding out we’re moving. Everyone is really upset about it, some even say they don’t know how this neighborhood is going to survive without my father. I just keep thinking to myself, all good intentions and no action.
