Day 269

We moved everything that belongs in the basement into the back room. I have to say I am one talented packer! I have no idea how we fit so much stuff in an already packed room. Victoria was a trooper!  She moved the leather couch, chair, Jeanie’s 4 piece couch set, benches, beds, etc with me. At one point she was a bit frustrated, I reminded her how strong she was and that she just had to decide to do it. I needed her help, no one else was around. It’s these moments that I am grateful yet saddened. I am grateful that I am a strong, capable, independent woman. Yet saddened at the expectations those abilities have created. My body aches, every part of it. My hands burn from lifting and gripping things too heavy for me to carry.
