Downsizing.
That’s a word a lot of people saying these days, including
my sister-in-law and myself. I think a lot of people are talking about
downsizing because of the recent increase in health insurance premiums. It’s certainly
why I’m saying it. Because of expenses, I can’t afford to stay here alone
anymore.
My sister-in-law is saying it because she really needs someone
to be with her at all times, problem is, her current apartment is so full you
can hardly move in it and mine isn’t much better. I certainly don’t have room
for someone else to live here, which is why we’re talking about downsizing, but
as you can see from the picture above (which only shows one corner of what is
now my spare bedroom) it’s a monumental task on my part.
And I need to get moving on it, because I know it will take
a long time to sort through all of that, let alone move my bed and dresser into
that room. So anyway, I need to get moving on that today.
But at the same time, I made the goal of making all my
Christmas gifts this year, also to save money, and well, here it is February
and I’ve only completed two gifts, and I’m telling you, there’s no way I’ll
finish on time at that pace. I also still have all those everyday chores we all
have, cleaning, cooking, and errands.
Frankly, I’m hoping I can manage to find at least a little time
to write in the next couple of months. And I can already hear Konnie telling me
that I’m nowhere near as busy as she is. Problem is she has built in helpers in
the form of her children.
Then again, she has built in interrupters. Maybe I can
manage it.
Happy writing everyone.
