Starting to wear down

There seem to be so many things to do and, being new here, I do many of them slowly, even down to small chores like trying to find items in a local grocery store today. Having only just moved to the country, things need to be done on several fronts: to get many done in this first month I have been making fast decisions, some large. ( I have made good progress. )

Having done so much lately, I feel as if I need a rest; I am tired and slowing down. However, this next couple of weeks will be a challenge: I must fit my existing setup activity around proving myself in a full-time job while also having to wait at the empty house a lot to receive the various deliveries by which I furnish and appoint it. ( My house will not be comfortable for some time yet. )

I tell myself that I just have to keep going, that, if I can keep on just doing the next urgent thing, in time things will settle, the rate of urgent tasks will drop, that I will become faster at doing them, even be able to take an occasional breath. ( Many to-do's remain. )

I feel disconnected from my family who remain back in Scotland. ( We now live separate lives and I miss them. )

I hope to at least have one of the kids stay with me during a summer break.
