Currently (Moving Update!)

I'm currently sitting in my new armchair in my new apartment, exhausted.
I spent several hours emptying and cleaning out my old apartment, a task which was made much slower by our car being out of commission. This minor inconvenience found me walking back and forth between the new and old units, my little blue wagon rolling by my side.
I bought that little guy for this very first market season with Hathorian Design. So far, he's showing up for me in unexpected and I-really-needed-this kind of ways. I'm grateful. :)
The reason the car I share with my mom is out of commission is because my mom got a U-Haul trailer hitched to the back in a moment of miscommunication with my sister in Connecticut. My mom thought she was going to drive down to pick up a swing set from Facebook marketplace and deliver it to my twin nieces.
"Absolutely not," I told her when she asked if I would come. "I just moved in and I'm on a tight deadline before my first market." I also disagreed with the idea of going through such lengths for a swing set the girls would be quick to outgrow--not to mention I wasn't completely moved out of my old apartment and needed the weekend to complete the move. All these things I shared with my mom.
She was half an hour down the highway when my sister told her the swing set was too big and to turn around.
Imagine if I had been in the car beside my mother, there because I was either strong-armed or a victim of my own self-harming savior mentality.
I know I would have been furious. Because the last thing I wanted to do was drive to Connecticut and pull myself out of the sacred flow I'm currently cradled in. And to have risked it all for nothing?
I'm so glad I honored my intuition and said, "Absolutely not."
When I came to eat dinner with my little sis and learned of my mom's early return, I didn't even have to say "I told you so."
