Gifts

Wednesday was my first day back to work and it nearly killed me. Yes, two weeks off of work - and heading in to a 3-day work week nearly had me crying by 5pm. After work I got home to a cluttered house filled with unorganized wedding gifts - and lost it.

What are we going to do with all this shit?

We have to take so much of it back!

what is this, anyway?

We didn't register for 10 of these! Only 8!

Is this a regift?

Oh holy hell this item it tacky!

Eric I don't want to do this!

Please throw out some of this trash! I can't walk in to the kitchen for Christ sake!

AAAhhhhhhh!!!!

I may be a very ungrateful twat but I also live in a small condo for two and when one can't see the floor it gets mighty trying.

That night Eric calmed me by explaining we just need to take one step at a time. We need to gather all the returnables -- and return them. Also, to get rid of some boxed items we can throw out old dishes/pots/utensils and replace them with the new. Once I did all that -- the place looked a lot better. I feel at peace again. I still don't want to go to work but I feel at peace - at home.
