i have spent the days since my last post tearing up the casa landry.
the dog is beside himself. he knows something is up but doesn't have a clue that he is soon going to be 'southern'.

The plans are hatched. the movers are booked. the notice has been given.

landry has had at least 2 breakdowns this weekend.

breakdown #1
i woke up on saturday morning to the most amazing sunshine in my room.
I forgot that the sun actually shines here and i DEFINATELY forgot how beautiful the light is in my apartment. that was when i decided that it would be a GREAT idea to tear apart my entire house (it is important to note that at this point i still had no boxes to put anything in)
this kind of disorder sends me into a FRENZY.
i can make due with 'piles' of my own making. i am an artist and thus have gotten used to some sorts of creative messes, however having my entire life on the floor of my bedroom is NOT a little mess.

breakdown #2
i have been doing this cathartic thing of loosening my grip on some things that i have been reluctant to rid myself of. Mostly they have to do with my former life as a girl in love with a boy. its been years now since i have seen or talked to him but since i am moving further than i ever have in my life from where we grew up together, i am having to go through my things with a fine tooth comb and decide what is important.
another important note is that i am generally not a keeper of sentimental things.
I keep them until they lose their sentiment and then they go.
so what i was left with from this 12 year spot in my timeline, was a small box of beautifully written teenage boy love letters, BOXES of photographs, one wedding dress, an antique bedroom set and 1 set of wedding rings.

what do i keep and what do i get rid of?
i am figuring it out.
