In this episode, Two Dozy Broads discuss the difficulty of moving to a new apartment in a new city. It's a lot more work than most people think!
Hello, all, and welcome to the Looney Bin. Linda and Gary are moving to a new place after 36 years, and boy howdy is their stuff to move. And not just physical things either. Oh, God, no. Nope. Don, our producer, is back on his feet again and actually driving, which is making both he and I happy. I think somehow me more than him, because I'm tired of being the chauffeur. And Blaze is as beautiful as ever.
SPEAKER_00I am Sandy of Gemological Esoterica. And I'm Linda Strochane of the Mercury Academy, and we are two dozy brats. Well, this month we would like to talk about things you might consider doing when moving to another location, whether it's just a different apartment, another city, another universe. Oh, jeez. Or all of the above. There you go. And believe me, there is a great deal you can do to make the move easier. We are finding this out by hit or miss as we move along.
SPEAKER_01And the hard way, too. So in some cases. Oh, God, yeah. The poor the poor suffering people that are having having to help and put up and do whatever and everything else. So very we've got, like I say, we've got just a few things that we're we want to talk about. So the first one is do not be afraid to throw out broken items or to donate no longer use items to shelters, to the unfortunate, whatever, you know, cleaning out things and making good cause at the same time. Your unused items may be just what someone else needs. Give a simple thanks to it and get the items out of the house, get them going, let them go on to the next person. And don't be stingy about things and don't resent what you're having. If you're having to downsize, don't resent it. That's just bad, just bad energy to begin with.
SPEAKER_00Well, that's true. And it it may take a while to get to the point where you don't want to uh uh chase it all the way, all the way out the door. But uh you just keep working on it, and over time it will happen. If Gary and I can do it, believe me, you can all do it too. There you go. And uh we have been clapping. Clapping is a great thing to do wherever you are, wherever you're sitting, standing as you're moving things, to break up stale and old energies. You would be surprised how much stale energy accumulates in 36 years in closets and corners full of stuff. And clapping helps to get that energy moving so it can be replaced by more active and healthy energy energy. Now, one of the things with it, as you're clapping it along, do not be surprised if you start tripping over bits of this energy. You may find yourself uh dropping uh glasses of water or dropping items for no reason other than the energy is whizzing by you faster than the speed of energy. If you have a singing bowl or a bell that works, that works even better. Stale energies can cause depression and illness, and as I said, they can cause you to become fumble fingered. Uh very much so. Try to pack mindfully. Do you really need that family heirloom or can it be passed to another family member so they can share it and pass it on to future generations? If you're in the mood where you're wanting to do that, uh thank thank the next generation for taking all your stuff.
SPEAKER_01And also also make sure, too, though, that they know the story behind it. Last when I was helping you guys and we pulled out uh I asked you if that was the one vase for mudding and footing. And you said yes, but Katrina had this just odd look on her face. And so when we were heading back back into the bowels of the apartment, I was giving her the story. And she said, Do you know the stories on everything? And I said, No, not everything, but I said, anything, I said, ask, and if you need to in a few years, ask me again. I said, once Linda and I are gone, we're the end of that side of the family's generational history because the guys in our family don't pay any attention whatsoever. No, they don't.
SPEAKER_00That's how guys are. And I it's also a sort of thing, excuse me, is I know a lot of it. And so I've told her all along the line, ask me about things. Yes. If I don't know at the moment, I will remember. The stories are all there. Excuse me. This is dust rolling around. This is another thing as you move. Your home will become a dust bowl. But uh yeah, just remember to ask for the stories too if you're the young, because I'm sure the old have them. They they just don't know that anybody even gives a particular uh hoot rap ass about anything. So just just uh ask the questions and somebody will give you the answers.
SPEAKER_01So that's right. That's right. And just remember that your aged are not going to be around forever. Ask you you can get answers after they're gone, but it's really hard to get the complete family history once they're gone.
SPEAKER_00It's a lot harder when what you have is a crystal ball and a Ouija board.
SPEAKER_01That's right. Uh another one, Don and I, whenever we have moved, have always used the rule of three. One third gets packed for the new place, one third gets donated, and one third is usually just useless junk and gets thrown away or get whatever people it doesn't go, believe me, it does never come to the new place. We don't like bringing old useless energy into a new place. And with that, I have a little of course we have to have a family story, and this is going to my mother. My neither one of my parents were great collectors. If it was something useful, that's fine. When it came to family stuff about 15 years before they died, they went through all the pictures and gave them to the appropriate people, along with writing on the back, which was very, very nice. Remember that in case you're ever passing on some those those really ancient things called pictures. You can write on the back of them. Oh god, yes. And so the week that mom was going, she had gone into, she died on Friday, she went into a coma like Wednesday, and you and I were over there when she first had gone into the coma, and she could still hear, and she was interacting with us, she just couldn't interact, you know, like coherently, cognizantly or something anymore. Right. And I was saying, Ma, what we're gonna do is we're going to begin to go through your stuff. If I'm gonna go through everything, if it's something important, like an address or whatever, I'm going to keep it. Otherwise, we're going to throw it away because you don't need it anymore, and neither do we. And uh you were here, you were there that day, and as we went through it, you could see her energy lighten as we were throwing away the stuff that she no longer needed, but she had been attached to. And it was it was the coolest thing to just watch as her energy just got lighter and lighter. Um the old just the old useless stuff was like an anchor time around, keeping her keeping her in this lifetime when she wanted to move on. So that that that's the that's the weird little family story thing. But and then also make sure you show your sincere gratitude to those helping you move. No one moves alone, especially as you get older. Boy, we understand friends, family members, or movers, all give their time and muscle seeing that your move is accomplished. A sincere thank you and prayer for their good health goes a long way. And in the words of one of my nephews, and beer goes even further.
SPEAKER_00There you go. Get beer, beer and good wishes. So, yes, thank the energies of the place you're you're moving from. And uh, if you're able to, as you're leaving, maybe it's not the last moment, but as as you're physically leaving the space toward the end, scoop up all the energies, just stand in a part of the place and scoop them up and throw them away like you're you're flicking water away from your body. And envision uh a pentagram, an upward pointing star that takes all the energy and heals it out. That helps. Then you're not leaving you, you don't want to leave your physical clutter behind. You also don't want to leave your energy, good, bad, or indifferent. And and another reason to do that is so there's no connection between you and whoever moves in after you.
SPEAKER_01That's right. Well, you don't want that to happen. Maybe if you have a little bit of clearing spray or sage spray, some incense, uh, some some sage, something that that will also help. You're trying to cut the cords between you and going to the next place or food or here to go to the next place.
SPEAKER_00If you regularly give offerings to the local placeholders or beer, beer to the fay or spirits or such, inform them of your move. They already, we've we've done that, we haven't given our final beer here, and we haven't quite nailed down where we're going to uh do the next giving of beer. It'll probably be at the niece's house because she's got a house, she's got a real house and trees and things like that. But we haven't really formalized our our uh our move. But these these energies will move with you. You don't have to do special individual things, they will move with you because the energies as they are are generally attached to you in the place, not to the place itself. Uh a sincere thank you or a prayer before you leave, or maybe a bit of incense will show your appreciation. And that is very helpful as well. But if if you have specifically set uh warders or energies around you and your and your home, they will follow you to the new home. And then when you get in the new home, you open those energies out. It's like unpacking the the other part of your packing that that uh U-Haul or a moving company doesn't help you with, and you just let those spread out again over wherever you're moving to, and they will settle in at in the appropriate places. They will, and if you need to do anything to uh to at that point, they'll let you know.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, they will. You know, you you weren't wandering around with Katrina, and she was so excited. Uh, you guys were getting out to her car, and she she just about grabbed me. I mean, she and I don't touch each other. She just about grabbed me and she uh and went out to the there's a back garden. You go through the you go through the community breakfast room and there's this garden, and there's all these trees, and there's all this stuff. And if you wanted to, if Gary wanted to subtly go out and put a little tiny glass of something, uh you I think you would actually be able to do it in that place.
SPEAKER_00Well, we'll we'll see, and that will be a future podcast, the adventure of Linda and Gary uh pouring beer at the new place.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, yeah. I uh yesterday I I was out of beer, and uh so I walked into my favorite liquor store, and right there as you open the, you know, come in, I'm standing there, and they had a a sale on Chinese beer made in Texas. And I bought it because I figured, well, the fair multidimensional and multinatural, national and cultural and everything else. I'll let you know if they like it or not. But I'm like, what the heck? Who cares? You know that beer's beer. So and it's and for someone like me who doesn't drink beer, beer is particularly beer's beer because I don't drink beer. So I am a I am a hard liquor girl if I'm gonna drink. So there you go. So anyway, stay tuned. In next month's podcast, we will be discussing how to energize your new place. We've already given you a couple of little hints and tips about moving the energy, but once you're actually there and you're starting to put things in place, uh, like I say, next month we would like to talk about we're talking about the moving out. The next month we'll be talking about moving in.
SPEAKER_00So and uh I'll I'll I'll be I'll be having some hints on what not to do because I'm sure there'll be things that I'll be one or two of those, yeah. Uh oh yeah.
SPEAKER_01So for now, I am Linda Strochine of the Mercury Academy, and I am Sandy from Gemological Esoterica, and we remain two Dozy Broads. Goodbye.
