My three fave pastimes. I love to dwell, read and execute new recipe ideas...mostly dreamt up in my head. Right now I have an interesting concoction in the crock pot. I love to dwell on a totally empty room to convert into a new room. I booted Monte out of the second room he took over and it is now ready to be converted. I have ordered a new bed and now in my mind I am marching through my belongings, shopping for suitable decor for the room. I love to write my post...talking to all you awesome people, my most fave activity. I always feel better after talking with you guys. I probably say too much but it feels so good to be able to share. Jeez! that sounds maudlin!!
I am thinking of getting a set of cupboards for the guest room that I can use for upstairs storage. I think I am a hoarder. I have stacks of ancient clothes that should be thrown out...and I can't. I have three sets of 12 dinner plates and I seriously only need one set, if that. But I just can't get rid of them. I love them. I have all kinds of kitchen pots, pans, bake sheets, frying pans....but I can't get rid of those either. I have tried and tried.
I think that getting rid of all that stuff is an admission that my normal happy busy life is done now. No more baking, no more dinner parties, no needing more than one outfit per week, no more cruising or vacations. Getting old with bad eyesight and balance issues sucks. I'm pretty sure that when I go to renew my drivers license next October, my eyesight will make me fail. (shovel list to the power of infinity)
My world is getting really small. I am whining here...did you notice? Lol!!! I am still happy. Not because I am strong and choosing to be. I'd like to take that credit. No, it's because I was born happy and can't help it.
I called my dump guy. He is coming tomorrow to take the two mattresses away. He will have to make a second trip next week or later this week for a second trip. I buy extra extra large glad garbage bags. I can fit two of me in them.
I have been filling them up and throwing/dragging them out onto the deck. I will haul them down to the carport when he comes back for a second run to the dump.
It feels so good every time I fill one of those suckers. It's just plain stupid how much crap I have in this house. It just keeps our life from being simple. Time to Steve Jobs it as we say in our house. He didn't put anything except a lamp, a floor cushion, his computer on the floor and a sleeping mat in his house. When Monte and I first moved into our empty house in Kamloops I bought my beloved recliner that now looks like Frasier's dad's chair, a twin mattress for Monte and a coffee pot. I think I already told you all this. Sorry. We oldsters get repetitive. Goes with being invisible. hahahaha!!!
I am going to take pictures of the bedroom as we go along. I didn't get a pic of what it was like to start with. Monte man was not in a great mental space for a long time and his room showed it. Out of respect for him I didn't take a picture. But I can start now. The hardest part of that is getting the pics on here. Blogspot sucks. Have I said that before? Methinks so!!
So starting next post it will be updates. You guys are the best. You have no idea. TFL&TTYL
