Taking a Break From Packing

My son has bird feeders on his window outside his office and the photo is a bird at one.
The last few weeks have escalated for the big move and I've gone over to my son's daily packing, sorting, hauling things to donations, selling (I'm appointed sales person) and sorting all the scammers and people who just amaze me with their personalities.
My son gives me some for helping although I tell him no. So, it's put up for gas come May 1st.
In-between, I've been donating things out of my trailer and deciding what to keep and haul for less weight when I pull.
I'll be following him to the other end of Washington. Then May 4th, I'll head down to Oregon and spend about three weeks with my oldest daughter and family. I have several doctor appts while there and on my birthday, we'll go to Silver Falls to spend the day.
I'm hoping to go to Newport for a day or maybe pull the trailer over for a couple days. I'm in a finding treasure FB group where we hide items for others to find. I'm getting some ready to hide.
Not much else is going on besides several hours a day packing, working, marketplace, etc. I'm now sick too. Something with my lungs.
I hope all of you are having a wonderful weekend.

Remember to pace yourself and take time for yourself.

@noni1959 Oh! Coughing can be so irritating and it is exhausting too. You should take a good rest. Rest is the main healer.

@sallypup I moved to WA from the "rain forest" of Oregon. Rains a lot but also meant green. Love the pines and miss it. I will be settling in Ocean Shores after my trip to Oregon. At least for now. Still on the fence if I will still host Belfair and Lincoln Rock August and Sept. I'm thinking of not. They added way too many duties since I accepted and don't think I can handle them on my own.

@MarieCoyle This past couple years, especially this past year has taken a toll on me. I was bound to get sick eventually and did. A bit better each day but going to take awhile.

I know stress can really take it's toll on us. Even when we do everything we can to avoid it, it's still there. I hope you do feel better very soon, Loretta.

Wow, you sure do have a lot going on. I’m sure it’s quite a whirl of activity. I wonder if all the dust you’re kicking up in the air from all the packing and moving is irritating your lungs? Anyway, I hope you feel better quick so the move goes off without a hitch.

@noni1959 I'm happy to hear you are on the mend, although I feel bad that you got full-blown sick.
