Moving on with less ballast
SATURDAY, May 8 – The whole process of moving is now seriously getting on my nerves. Wanna get it over with. I long for it all to be in the past. Then, we can sit down and await events to come. I throw away more than I should. On the other hand, it’s liberating to move forward with as little ballast as possible.
What would I do without Eamonn? I asked him to go along to IKEA to pick out some lamps. The kid has impeccable taste – I’m jealous. In less than five minutes he chose lamps for every room in the house. I didn’t even take a second look and cheerfully paid the bill.
