I had to take yesterday off because I was sick with a sinus infection. The Army bro was leaving and the baby was at daycare so I slept as much as I could. It feels like I’m on the upswing now, still I’m taking it easy. For the last couple days I was working to put the brakes on things because I could feel myself getting sick and this time last year I was some of the sickest I’ve ever been and that dragged on for weeks, maybe months, because I couldn’t take the necessary time to rest. Looking forward it’s more the same, packing and cleaning everyday, the other half of the Army bros. will visit Sunday to take away more of our stuff. He’ll have a trailer to fit more on though he’s taking the ugly stuff like fence poles and a tiny shed rather than indoor furniture. Then I’ll figure out a way to get rid of what’s still floating around. There’s a bedroom dresser set my wife bought used as a teenage that takes up a lot of room, we don’t use it because they give the clothes inside a cedar smell. My wardrobe is so simple that everything I wear is kept in a Rubbermaid bin and when the clothes are dirty they go to the laundry bag. There are more complicated clothes I have that are already packed, I hardly wear any of it now. My lifestyle over the last couple years has adapted to be all about efficiency, I have the same T-shirt brand the Army used in 12 different colors and two pairs of jeans. Complicated clothing will be back in my life soon, I made a costume shirt for my podcast and making my own clothes is the route I’d prefer to take.
