“One night a year, all crime is legal.”
The Purge tagline (2013)
Did anyone realize the first movie In The Purge series was set in 2022 😳? While not the origin date for the concept of The Purge (it started as a pilot program in 2014), it’s still a little unnerving now that it is 2022.
But the purge I am beginning is really a cleaning and clearing out of unnecessary things encumbering my life right now. It began while decorating for the holidays when I realized that I had more Christmas tchotchkes (I never spell this word right 😆) that I just don’t have the room for anymore. And the cleansing of stuff spilled over into other areas of the house as I went. Not the books though – never the books!
I still have lots to do and I have to find ways to easily sell the collectibles that are just taking up space (so many collectibles 😬). But you gotta start somewhere 🤷🏼♀️. And why is gotta not a recognized word damnit!
I don’t know if this is a result of my loss, the new year or moving (probably all three 😁), but I feel the need to just organize my life and bring order to the chaos that I have been living in for almost four years now.
To that end – I FINALLY organized my DESK! (Hold for applause… 😆). I have been seriously trying to tackle this for months now. I’ve rearranged things, thrown out useless lingering crap and I’m ready to focus on good things for the new year, or at least try to 🤪. Let’s see how long my desk lasts in this state 😁.
I also spent the morning cleaning up the mess from the storm. I don’t know how I had more broken branches than some of my neighbors when I’ve got one large tree and two small trees in my backyard! But breaking up and stacking the debris was somewhat therapeutic today. It also allowed me to discover all the stupid stumps left behind that I need to get rid of 🙄. Still therapeutic as f🤬🤬🤬 though 😊!
Another perk of this purge – finally getting around to selling my wedding ring set 🍾. I can use the money from that and other jewelry to upgrade my computer. I let you know how it goes 😊.
So that is my tale to tell today. I’m really trying to get refocused on moving forward, not standing somewhat still. Let’s hope this gives me the jump start needed 🤞.
PSA for all my female readers – it’s a new year so don’t forget to schedule your annual Mammograms! Just got the girls squished myself today, so don’t leave me hanging out here alone 😜!
Aside: How many of you can type a capital P followed by a u without constantly capitalizing both? Anyone or is it just me? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
And in case any of you are wondering if, given the chance, I would “purge” my ex and that duplicitous whore he cheated on me with – as tempting as it might sound, at my core it is not something I could do. Think about on occasion, sure. Actually do – not a chance. It’s just not in my nature 😊.
