Wow. The craziness begins… or continues! Time was running out, and without the money to pay rent, we had to make a decision. So, we decided it was time to get out of the house. Eight days. That’s all we have to pack, sell, and let go of everything we can before our trip to California. Whatever we can’t sell, we’ll store.
Yesterday, the shift began. We started boxing things up and posting listings on Craigslist. E came over to help and ended up taking a lot of the kids’ things and other items she wanted. It was both helpful and a little heartbreaking.
I called LJ to see if we could trade in our old computer stuff and my PC for a laptop, and she came through—not only with the laptop, but also paid our electric bill so it won’t get shut off Wednesday! Praise God for the body of Christ! And on top of that, the cable company called saying they’d cut us off today, but by God’s grace, they granted an extension until Friday.
Tom is really struggling. He cried so much last night—just broken. Honestly, I probably am too, but I won’t even feel it until a couple of days from now. Right now, I’m in “work mode,” which shuts everything else off. Yesterday I felt the weight of it though… I could hardly breathe. Especially since I burned the crap out of a bag of popcorn and filled the house with smoke! 😅
This all feels surreal—almost like we’re watching someone else’s life unfold. Where do we go when we get back from California? I honestly have no idea… but Jesus does. And that’s all I can cling to right now.
I’ve got to get back to Craigslist and keep moving. I’ll try to keep up with my journaling through this whirlwind—we’ll see how that goes.
