Downsizing

There are many reasons to make a downsize. It is still hard. I like the place I live now, but it is time.

Even though I am downsizing I still have requirements. I must have my own bathroom. I will not share with boys. And I need good garden space.

I do still have a few more month on my current lease. So it does gives me time to look for the right place. So far there has not been much out there. But with February around the corner I am expecting to see new listing soon. And it also give me time to get rid of things that will not make the move. I have way more stuff than I need in my current home. So I need to lighten the load.

I have started to go though things, like my homeschool books.(If you know anyone looking for Sonlight cores. I have second grade thru fifth grade for sale) I have also had one yard sale and I am getting a good collection of things for donation. So at the very least I should end up with less clutter.

I feel so behind in getting a blog post up. Life has been keeping very busy but all in good way. Now I recently got myself an ipad to replace my laptop that had died. So I have been trying to figure out the best way to write on the ipad. I think I found the best way for now. With less than a month before my half marathon and trying to train in the Texas heat is a challenge. But getting out early and lots of water make it manageable. I am swimming on my cross train day and sometime on run days too. (I am already at the pool six days a week and it gives me something to do vs standing around for an hour.)  The garden is coming a long. I have twenty beds in area 66' x 7'. So I have a lot  of plants in the ground and still have some beds that I have not planted yet. But this Texas and I do have a long growing season. So they will end up with plants in them. My biggest concern with the garden right now is water. We are under tight  water restrictions . When the rules were made th...

One Hand

lavender Being one handed has slowed me down. Like how to write this post without the computer keyboard and I don't own a smartphone. But as you can see I figured out a way. The thing that gets to me the most is that I can't walk pace or jog. The doctor said no and it painful. Thankfully there is still yoga that I can do. I switched to little projects that can be done one handed. And there are plenty of them.  Since I put building the garden on hold. It has gone through a whole redesign. Before I was hoping to have room to grow a few extra plants and now I will have plenty of room. Check out My Garden page to see the redesign and other updates on the garden. The best thing over the weekend was. Having a friend come over to help me out with my housecleaning. She sweep, mopped, emptied the dishwasher, loaded the dishwasher, wiped down the counters and sweep the stairs. It was so nice to have them done. They were all things that needed to be done.
