@Former-Member, Pulling out of "touch and go" a few days ago is hero level in itself. Big congrats in order.

Hi @Former-Member
I took yesterday off from the forum - I had to deal with my own back pain - ouch - I understand how you are feeling with lower back pain and a bung right knee and shoulders hurting as well - and I am not clearning out an old house with years of memories
It sounds as if you are nearly finished - I hope so - you have the moving van coming soon - I forget when - where are you moving your stuff too - are you taking that to your Dad's place or putting it in storage - you have to make so many decisions right now and I know that's hard
You find so much stuff when you clear out a house - I get it - how stuff accumulates - and it is such hard work - I hope today's energy lasts until you are done and can walk away from it - I don't think you are leaving much you love behind when you leave that town - let's hope you can find a new place to nest - I am for you every inch of the say
Sending love and hugs and whatever else might help and I hope you can get a break from the pain - I really have no idea of the extent of what you have had to do - such hard work too - I can tell by the pictures that it has been over-whelming
My best thoughts Lapses

Thanks @Owlunar, nobody can really know how life is for another I guess. But you sure come close. Thank you. And sorry your back was so bad.

sorry but forum system wouldn't let me post the link re 3 letters 'aabboo' in it 'not allowed' - you'll have to google it. Helps understand why the TOSSING is so slow. The Brain shuts down 😕 But I did another clothing cull last night - x2 garbage bags. Hope you're OK Dec? Betta get moving again. Oh, hot an old friend coming to help (sleep over) tomorrow 😉

Hi @Former-Member
You are right - no one can really tell what another person experiences but I have been through a lot of different circumstances myself and know that it can be and often is really tough
I love the ant - when I started at university I could not see that it would be 12 years before I graduated with honours - but I did - people told me it was too hard, too much, let it go - I guess they had other priorities for my life but I stuck there - so I guess I know how hard it is to stick to what you are doing - whatever it is - when everything is too hard to focus on
But like the little old ant who thought he'd move a rubber tree plant - you are getting there and I know it's not easy
But you have given me a project with the Anterior Cingulate Cortex - and pain - and anxiety - I had a look at the net just prior to posting to you and thought - this can wait until later - it's the kind of thing I can only read bits of and it seems like a lot of theory right now but I do believe that all sorts of things can clutter up the brain at times - including info on how - so right now I can only say I will get back to you - I am interested enough but what a hard lot of articles to read! Yes!
But thanks - I like that sort of stuff - I had not heard of that before - let's learn what I can
Hold on tight Lapses - you must be nearly done - then you have more stuff to deal with
I read where you wrote you don't like Sydney - I get that - I forget where - you have a lot of things to think about - sharing helps - I guess you share here if you feel like sharing -
So many decisions and I know - they are hard to make alone but practice helps - it does
Sending hugs
