"What's Next"

Last year I started this blog.  Then I got caught up in a couple of surgeries, living with my mother for a year and unexpected retirement at the beginning of 2013.  And, I forgot to blog.  Now that I'm retired, I've had to search for suitable and affordable housing on a retiree's fixed income.  I got lucky and found an apartment in a brand new complex for the 55 and over crowd.  Woo hoo!  I feel like I'm moving to the "home".   It's also in my hometown.  And, I have to pack up and move everything I own 80 miles down the road.  I don't own a lot of furniture, but I own "stuff" and lots of it.  I am a semi-hoarder, the keeper of things.  I've lived in the same apartment for 9 years, before that I lived 2 doors down.  So, I've been there almost 12 yrs.  Twelve years to collect "stuff" to go with the "stuff" I already had.  The sad thing is, I'm not ready to part with any of it.  I want to open each box and go through it and see what I want to keep, what I want to give to Goodwill, what I want to put in a yard sale and what I want to put on Ebay.  So, in the meantime, most of it will go to a storage building.  I will probably die before I look in all those boxes, the rent will not get paid on the storage building and someday someone will be bidding on my "stuff" on Storage Wars. 

Have a nice day!
