- I am unpacking a box. This is hard to do because the house is so full there is nowhere to put anything. Unpacking make me sad, for some reason. (It seems a lot of things makes me sad.) It's sad unpacking this box because it reminds me of a whole life I sued to have that is gone--my house, my job, my friends, my family. I have a new life and I like it fairly well, but this doesn't mean I'm not sad about losing the old one, and unpacking these boxes from my old life makes my heart hurt.
- my foot injury is 97.3% better! YAY!
- my fibro and insomnia are both generally improved, with some relapses and flare-ups. I still have pain every day, but it is somewhat less severe and frequent generally (with some exceptions).
- my neck/pinched nerve and the associated pain is slowly improving by tiny increments with many relapses into severe pain
- I feel like I am not making much progress toward my goals. I'm not doing much writing or sending stuff out lately.
- Sigh.
- it's hot
- I'm lonely for family and friends far away
- We have so far been unable to solve the too much stuff and lack of space dilemma after many various attempts at it.
- I am procrastinating writing this because I hate what I'm doing.
- besides this unpacking and clearing windows, I have a huge list of fairly urgent tasks which is pressing down on my with a horrible weight. AK!
But
- I did my walking for the day, so I don't have to go out unless I want to.
- I have food for tonight and know what I am making for dinner--YAY! (I am making GUMBO!)
- I managed to succeed at moving piles of boxes away from one window where BB is going to paint, so that's something anyway.
- I got a couple boxes partly unpacked and may finish one or both or combine them so there is one less box. That's something, anyway. Not much, but something.
- I love my husband.
- My son is talented musically, and I derive pleasure from his music.
- He's away for the afternoon and I derive some peace and quiet from his temporary absence. I appreciate and am grateful for the momentary silence. Not that I want it all the time--a nice balance is good.
- school will start soon and I will have longer periods of freedom--maybe.

I still have boxes to unpack, too. I definitely recommend the strategy of combining boxes when unpacking several simultaneously--it is much more satisfying to have finished one box than two halves. And like you said, one less box is always good.
I DID succeed in completely emptying one box by combining two partly unpacked, and then one is partly emptied. But yes, having one fully emptied box is satisfying!!!!
Thanks for your visit and comment! :-D
