Vibes to DR Jose to help with his stuff~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thanks, DR Cillaliz - A lot of my "stuff" had to do with sorting through the remaining boxes-o-stuff I still had at my parents - which have now been moved to their new house. *I owe my brothers Don and Mike big time for helping my Dad out with the move.
I've known for the past couple of years - and I've made no secret about it here on HHW - that I'm a packrat, and that I've been dealing with all those many boxes-o-stuff for years at this point. Will I be able to sort through everything in a weekend? No. Two maybe. Three more likely. Four, definitely. Alas, since I'm now living in New York City, and I still have some boxes-o-stuff in Richmond... Well...
When I looked at the boxes I had at my parents, it was comforting to realize that there really wasn't as much stuff as I was thinking there was. That was the first big sigh of relief. Then when I realized that a few of those boxes were actually filled with "real stuff" not just "stuff stuff", that was another big sigh of relief. So, I'll do a quick sort tomorrow morning, and throw out the definite "trash", and then come down when I come down and take care of the rest of it. In any case...
All that "stuff" has been holding me down the past couple of years. And I've come to realize recently, that all that "stuff" has also prevented me from feeling that I've
really made the move to New York City. I mean, there have been people who knew I moved to NYC two years ago, and they still ask me, "So, are you up here full time now?" Couple that with my usual post-show slump (post-
All About Us), and a brief period of being "between gigs", well... Let the wallowing begin.
But as I've said, things are starting to line up. Yes, it will still take a few more weeks - if not months - before I get everything in order, but at least now I'm truly being realistic about the whole situation. And, most importantly, I'm finally starting to do something about it.
