Social The Cloud City Cantina 26.0 The Rise of Pullman (NEXT TRIVIA NIGHT: TBA)

I spent most of the day filling boxes and discarding stuff I don’t use. I’ve also found several things I’d forgotten I had.

 

I really don’t want to do that currently. Yesterday I opened a box from when my grandmother passed and sobbed for a solid hour after putting it all back and resealing. There’s not time for that since I’m on a deadline, and sadness won’t get me through all the chaos

The good news is I’ve managed a lot in spite of busting my backside at work, so yay.

 

It's weird how some boxes have stronger impacts than others.

When I cleaned out my mum's house, I went through one box at a time and opened one where she had saved all my baby toys. Not childhood... like the first 3 years of my life. And I sobbed like ugly crying. I remembered many of them, because I've been blessed with a fairly strong ability to recall, but it felt like being reunited with friends from an era that represented the last time the world made sense.

 

That’s incredibly sweet.

I’ve found myself putting random stuff in boxes so that one day my kids can wonder what the heck I was thinking.
