Thank you all for the wonderful advice, well wishes and prayers. I was just a little overwhelmed at the mess and confusion when I posted.... maybe just a little overwhelmed in general. I can report that furniture was moved, rooms repurposed and happily my sewing area is much smaller, but so well organized that it makes me want to sit down and get busy! We still have some sorting and tossing to do (needed to do that anyway) but we are going one day at a time. There are far more blessings than hardships in this arrangement. (Not to say I won't vent again to you, my friends.) Thanks for listening.....
