I still have a lot to go, but plenty of time. All our stuff is basically fitting into our house, barn and shop. I even have some areas that are not full, so I can work out where stuff logically can be kept. I still have too much stuff though. I am not sure DH feels the same way! Go figure!
Part of what we disagree with is cars and toys. He thinks more is better with most things. I used to live that way too. Still do, but I am changing. So, I understand that I will have better luck doing and letting him follow along.
I have told him that I am ready to sell my motorcycle. He took it better than I thought. I did mention I was pretty much ready, but I would not do anything until spring. It is a street cruiser and I am just not really into it anymore. I for sure do not see us doing any more touring. This cruiser is not really appropriate for long trips. But I can do short trips on it. I really don't have that desire now. I told DH I would wait until spring to decide for sure. I think we should be completely moved and settled in first before I sell it. I can think about it over the winter.
Do you all have something that you think of getting rid of or have gotten rid of that was difficult? I hope you will comment.
I broke down and joined a gymn literally next building over from the hotel - for one month! It is just getting dark so early, rainy and not fun anymore to walk over where I used to live. I worked out last night on the elliptical and treadmill while it was dark and rainy outside. I really enjoyed the relief. I did 5 miles!
Today it is rainy still (is good - we need it) and I am planning on yoga tonight. Although I got a puzzling message from the yoga studio last week asking if I paid. I paid instructor directly instead of having the office deduct from my credit card and they said it was not put in the lock box. I never heard anything more.
That reminds me...I have paid $70 a week to have our retirement house mowed this summer. He is slow to cash the checks. The last 2 I wrote were from early August. I asked him - he said he is just slow to cash them. Well, he has not mowed the last 2 weekends we were down so I texted Friday - he said "I will be there tomorrow". Nothing. Sunday nothing. So I call Monday - no answer and his cell won't allow messages. I texted...nothing. So I texted this morning asking for him to please respond...ugggghhhhh.
I am so tired of relaying on other people to help me do things THAT I PAY HANDSOMELY FOR. These are the people that are going to come back and kill me aren't they? I watch way too much true crime shows. Hahahaha. I can't rant and rave like a lunatic, but boy it sure is frustrating. Geez people. I want what I want. Now (stomps foot).
I am practicing light and love. Hahaha. Light and love...and authority. It is a fine line.
There's a fine line between clever and stupid.

I am rambling - have a great Wednesday!
Getting rid of the bassinet was extremely difficult. My mother bought it second-hand for my first child. I lent it to my sister and then used it for my two other children. My house was so huge that keeping it was not a hardship at all. I got rid of it when my last was about 30-years-old and my mother had died, so there was a lot of memories attached.
ReplyDeleteI remember selling my bike. A friend said he hadn't seen me on the road and I said I was thinking of selling. He went to town and when he came back he said he had a buyer. Easiest sale ever and I didn't get a chance to change my mind.
