Generally before any trip I obsess over getting the house clean, the yard cut and cleaned up, so things won't be a disaster when we get back home, but I know what needs to be done and how long it will take so I can plan accordingly. This is not a normal "trip" and the need to get the house and yard in shape relates to selling the house. There is 10 times more work to be done, more like 100 times, and the time left to get everything done is shrinking at an ever accelerating pace. I don't have the knowledge, skills, or patience for a lot of things that need to be done which is giving me big feelings of inadequacy and failing.
The dumpster got filled up and was taken away and a new one brought in it's place today. It's already about 1/3rd full. I'm finally making progress on the outdoor stuff and we've started throwing money at the house projects in a desperate attempt to get things done. That should have started at least two weeks before it did. Mechanical things, particularly the damn mower, are the bane of my existence and I will be very happy to be free of it in two weeks, living without a car and without grass to cut.
We've about reached the end of things that can be sold, except for a few that I still need. I'm guessing that the dumpster will be full again when it it taken away next Friday.
Bailey seems unbothered by the removal of furniture and other things. Her focus is on me. I look forward to being able to keep up my side of this co-dependent relationship and return the attention and focus with time spent on her. She's been letting me slide for now.
