So, there wasn't enough chaos in my life, I guess.

Thanks for the update and it sounds like a great idea to make the job change.

I figure more options would be a good thing. I can't really complain a lot about my job. For many years, it has been good. But stagnation, yeah.

Do it! I'll be honest, it feels really good to be excited about something again.

I worry about a lot of things (is it fair to my dogs to be so swamped for a year?) but in the long run, yeah.

I am on an anti-junk mission! It also helps that my dad has been travelling to Indiana to help a relative who has a serious hoarder problem, and the stories. *shudder*

I don't want anyone to have to sift through that much crap if something happens to me. I'm so motivated to keep the junk minimal now.

I think that tulip looks like it's flipping you off ;)

Congrats on the new direction. The feeling of "being in control" can be liberating.

I spent nearly a week helping my SIL pack up her home and move all her $hit crap belongings into storage (and then move her and her 4 kids into our house). Her place was a near-hoarding situation that was beyond repulsive. It took 4 people a day and a half to go through her bedroom, and many, many people several days to get her upstairs attic area that she used as a sewing room cleaned out. I came home inspired to go through our stuff and just.get.rid. of it all. I've since done a little purging here, but I have A LOT left to do. Her family is moved into our upstairs and they've been here a month and a half, and our upstairs is starting to look like her house did. Sigh. I left the vacuum cleaner up there as a "hint" but it didn't get used.

Haaa, I wouldn't say I'm in control, but I've certainly started the process of making the train jump it's tracks (or really, hopefully, just switch rails).

I hear ya on the junk thing. Other people's junk is almost even worse. I've had several roommates over the years in my old house, and a lot of the crap I got rid of was theirs. Not the majority of it, I take some blame, but getting rid of other people's junk, ugh.
