The Move Between: Getting to Empty, Exhaustion and the Big Break

I literally could not find my way home. The Uber driver kind of missed the directions twice, but, I made it worse trying to give directions except I only knew how to get here as a pedestrian, not as a driver. By the time we did pull up in front of the building, the doorman was laughing saying we’d drove by at least three time times, he wasn’t sure if this was out destination or if we were looking for parking. So, four hours later as I sit in an empty condo attempting to write for the week, it occurs to me, with no sleep since Friday and a demonstrated inability to literally see what is right in front of me, maybe it’s time for a pause. Maybe my seemingly bright idea to compare packing styles to difficult situation in life is only clever at 3:00am on a cross country red eye flight when I can’t sleep. This move has been about letting go of a lot things. Moving into a condo that is 2/3’s the size of where I have lived for the last 6 years forced me to purge. Moving into a new place before the current one is sold forced my to let go what I felt was logical, sell first buy second.

Moving in with a couple of suitcases and waiting for the truck with my things to come in two to three weeks has forced me to let go of my imaginary scenario of a seamless transition. This is going to be mess and require the purge part 2. Does this piece carefully weave two ideas into one or present something thought proving thought provoking? No. I have dozed off at the keyboard twice. Well, if I can’t find my way home, and I am dozing off at 4:00 in the afternoon, maybe, just maybe a break is more important. This week, consider how and when you take breaks. Is is out of boredom, exhaustion or lack of motivation.
