I finished moving out of my house, a day late. My roommate was so mad. I really could have used an extra day, but I was forced to get it done today, cause I knew she was angry at me. I think the friendship is ruined by us living together. But anyway, I think out of my one bedroom I filled up an entire dumpster worth of stuff that I got rid of. Perfectly good stuff, not trash. Like books, and clothing, toys, all kinds of stuff. I had no idea how much stuff I had in one room. I'm not a hoarder either, and the stuff fit in the room, it was just the fact that I didn't want anymore stuff in my life. I took two carloads of items with me out of the house, so almost nothing. I worked until 11:30 last night, went back from 6 until 7:15 this morning, taught KINDERGARTEN, came back to my new home, unloaded the car, put SIX LOADS OF LAUNDRY in, and you all know how I hate laundry, and went back to my old house and worked until 8:30, went to my new home to unload more, went back to the laundromat to pick up my six loads, and now finally I can rest. And the house is upstairs, and I am very uncoordinated and FAT and it was excruciating. My roommate and her fiance (the reason why I am moving out) stayed in bed and slept the whole time. I know its not their job, but it made me sad, cause she and I used to be close friends. But I never knew how much I was physically capable of until I pushed myself to the limit these last two days. (I had two weeks where I was renting both houses, maybe next time I will learn not to procrastinate?!?!)

Blackswan you have accomplished so much! We are still moving out of our old place. Ugh. I wish we had purged more stuff like you did. I would just love to have 1/4 of what we had there. I hope that after some time has passed you may be able to repair the friendship. Now get some well deserved rest!

Blackswan, I well remember doing a move like that, having to stay up til about 2am doing the last few hours all by myself because my friends had to leave--and it was all due to my procrastination!
Sounds like you have a fresh start, and after you get some rest, you can begin to enjoy your clutter free place.

Great job Swan!! I know how hard this whole situation has been on you. It was very stressful for me when I had to do the same thing. It is too bad that your former roommate has to be this way. I hope that you know that this is in your best interest ultimately. Hang in there, it will get easier as time goes on.

Wow Blackswan, I am so impressed! I am sorry about your friendship, but I do know that there are lots of people I am friends with whom I could never live with. Don't beat yourself up about it--perhaps as others have said, you guys can repair your friendship since there is some distance between you now. Please, please, do something nice for yourself BF

;DBe good to yourself Dear One! You have done so much, you deserve some "me" time. Your friendship will repair if you give it some time. I had a roommate that was also a friend, toward the end, she wouldn't talk to me... But six months later, she called, & we resumed out friendship, just knew that we couldn't share living space. (My clutter got to her, ) So be patient, your friend will come around. Jkai3
