Small progress

I made small progress today. Went through daughter's closet and my own. She left behind all the clothes she no longer wears, so hers was easy. I did save some things which have meaning and some which I plan on making into quilts. My closet I sorted out clothes I no longer wear. Thinned it out a bit. Bagged everything to donate. Most of my old clothes won't be any good for anything but rags. 

Of course, going through daughter's old things brought back memories. Nothing that brought me to tears. It was all good. Little melancholy. 

Have to go through the bottom of my closet tomorrow, which is a mess.

I figure this is the best route. Thin things down, clear more space. Have a yard sale in a week or two. 

Would have gotten more done but there was a power outage today. Sitting here at the computer and heard an explosion. Transformer. Power went out. I went out and checked with neighbors. Everyone on my side of the block lost power. 

That lasted for a few hours. Got a bit uncomfortable in here. 

Been a hell of a week. Daughter leaving, debit card hacked, power outage. Losing out on the job I wanted.

Got an email today for a job doing HEDIS reviews. I forwarded my resume. That could be good. It's temporary. May give me more time to find a job I want. Or I could stick with temp jobs for the next few months. 

Happy to say I was feeling better today. I was definitely fighting something off.

Texted the ex this evening. They're not in AL yet. They stopped in Dallas last night and in Jackson tonight. 

She said daughter doesn't feel too good. Exposure to cats, riding with dogs in the car. Allergies. Hope it doesn't affect her asthma. 

Any way, good they didn't push too hard getting there. Better they have some energy when they arrive. How you feel when you first get to a place colors your perception for some time, at least a few days, if not weeks. 

Getting to bed here in a minute.
