Let the Purging Begin!

Initial Closet Cleanse


It begins!

The long and tedious process of shedding years of stuff!

Yesterday, In preparation of this, I did my initial closet cleanse (see pic at the side), and ended up with 3 giant bags that I promptly took to the donation center - no mind-changing! Instead of bringing the remainder immediately on the RV, I let them hang overnight, so I can take one more chance to evaluate whether or not I truly love what is left. There is little room for excess in our new space.

Bathroom sink is full of clutter! What goes, what stays?
Today, my plan is to tackle my master bathroom. We have little to no room for superfluous toiletries, so I expect the vast majority of this stuff to end up in the trash. Let's face it, what ends up under the sink is really the equivalent of sending it off to die. This is where we hide things we don't have the heart to trash, but will never use again.

Under the sink is a hodgepodge of items that have not been touched in years!
Finally, if I am able to knock out those two projects, I will next tackle the master bedroom. I suspect I may need the man's help for some of this, but I'll work around it til he gets home from work.

It is 7 am, and I am finishing off my coffee. I have the bags ready, and I'm excited to get underway. Stay tuned! I'll post pics!

After 12+ hours at it, here are the updated pics:

Bathroom sink has been emptied and scrubbed clean!

Closet is emptied of all of my clothes except what I am wearing tomorrow. All else is loaded on the RV!

Items heading to my office for storage.

Massage Therapy for Lower Back Pain

Image
"Oh, my back still hurts," Jim groaned as he sat on the bed and bent over to pick up his shoe.

"Why don't you try a massage?" His wife asked. "My friend Carol swears massage is the only thing that can help her back pain."

Jim sighed as he tied his shoe. "I suppose I have tried everything else. The chiropractor says my back is fine, just the muscles are tight. My doctor gave me muscle relaxants, which I don't like to take, and our insurance only covered four physical therapy visits. Massage can't hurt my back any more than it already does, I guess."

Confusion and Clarity

Image
And just like that, my Peace Corps service is over. It is certainly not the way that I saw it ending, but here we are.

Covid 19 has forced us all to take a look at our lives and lifestyles. I will be forever grateful to the people of Mozambique for opening their lives to me and allowing me to be a part of it for this past year. There are so many things that I wanted to do, and now the time is over.

The last week has been a blur with travel. I had to take a chapa (something like a van that is used for public transportation in Mozambique) from my site in Xai-Xai to the capital city of Maputo. The next day, I flew to Johannesburg, South Africa. Next was Johannesburg to Dubai, then Dubai to New York. The final flight was to my home in Charleston, SC. With all of the time zones, I have no real idea of how many hours I was actually in transit.

Since being home, I have been in self-quarantine. I only leave the house to go on a daily walk/run for 5 miles (10km). I figure if I must be on lock…

Happy 46th Birthday to Me

Image
I am 46 years old today. I'm celebrating my birthday from my home now in Xai-Xai, Mozambique.

When I look back at my old birthday posts, it is always fascinating to see how things have changed year over year. For example, last year, I was celebrating my birthday during Mardi Gras in New Orleans, Louisiana. The year before, I celebrated with my darling Olaf in Charleston, South Carolina. For my 43rd birthday, I was living in Key Largo, Florida.
