May. 2nd, 2025 09:03 am You know what else?
While I'm decluttering (all KINDS of feelings about that) to the "Bagster" I'm like 'what about these toys' and while it's really hard to say goodbye to that and move on, ..
- it's not easy to donate toys - most places by me don't accept used toys, and while I COULD make a concerted effort to find homes for things, I have to make more progress here.
- most of them aren't handmedown quality.
- even if they were, I'm pretty sure my kids aren't going to have their own kids.
- even if they do, they don't want us saying 'here's some cute stuff from when you were 5."
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday!
And re: mom's writing:
- I tried to commit to publishing her books that she was working on.
- i couldn't make sense of her organization and what was ready and where.
- I would like to do that for her, but I don't think I can. And her computer died, but the usbs and external HD and google docs exist, but each chapter is pretty much its own thing with lots of rewrites.
- Anyway I am throwing out a lot of the notes but keeping some.
I'll miss you like a child misses their blanket but I've got to get a move on with my life. -- why is THAT corny song the right one for this?
