~Pacing myself~

WEll, my tummy's still acting up, as is my FM & IBS, but the more raw i've eaten sinse my final foray into animal flesh-eating, the better i feel...all I'm really wanting is smoothies, & not much of that...
...I wish i had time to make carrot juice (& hadn't packed the juicer!), that's what my body's really wanting right now....{carrot-apple-celery, actually...}
As I'm packing, trying to weed things out, I'm thinking about what my friend Shannon said, that she'd read on a raw blog that the longer this person had been raw, the less stuff they wanted/needed, & wanted to take up less space, & have less impact on the world (environmentally, i assume...) I'm beginning to feel the same way...it can't be healthy to have so much STUFF in such a small space! i can't wait to get moved in & seriously weed it ALL out! I have a friend who says he's been hearing me talk about weeding my things out sinse i was 16, when we met...hmmmm...i get it from my mom...BUT i'M TIRED OF IT!
I wish so much that Hannah & i hadn't taken turns getting sick the 1st two weeks of the month when i should've been packing...now, I'm in panic-mode, just throwing things in boxes, getting rid of what i can, but no time to go through everything! It felt good to have a mission pick up a bunch of stuff today!I so wish i didn't have to bring so much to the new place & sort it there...my bedroom is going to basically be a storage area for awhile....hope i can get my bed in there still...i may actually end up sleeping in the livingroom for awhile! *sigh*
It would be so much easier to handle the stresses of life if i were healthier. Much as I've always loved moving into a new place, setting it up, making it a home, it's this part of it I'm struggling through now that's so incredibly difficult. I feel the burden of my weight, feel the pain in my body, & watch the way i respond to stress so intensely, & wish, so much, i was further into my healing than i am...but i know that all I've been through this last year, especially, has been what's leading me to this place now, where I'm ready to do whatever it takes....if i can just make it through the next 5 days!
