Decluttering, packing and moving

My decluttering adventure has been slowing but hasn't stopped. When I started my goal was just to clear some things out. Then it changed to get rid of everything I could not replace. I have managed to still keep more things than I need, but I have still made a dramatic decrease in clutter. And I imagine that I will let go of more things still as I got thru them a second time. I was also able to start some packing. I still have many things that a belong to my child off at college. So I knew I could pack those things up and know one would mind. 
My housing searching had been on hold. There are some things that need to be decided. That I have no control over and until these decision are made I don't know if I will be staying in Austin or returning to Seattle. Then I found out that I can only stay at my current house till mild of this month. I was hoping to have till the end of May but that turned out not to be the case. So I have had no choice but to look for new housing. I have found somewhere to live. It will only be temporary but it will give me time till I know where my final destination is. So I have been busy packing, for I only have a few more days till I move. 
Now if I stay in Austin I will need more employment. So I have been putting in applications for just about every jobs that I can get to on the bus and tha pays more than minimum wage.(Minimum wage is only $7.25 here in Texas.) I have also been searching the job available in Seattle to see what my option are there. I have had a few interviews and managed to add substute teacher to my list of jobs. It took the school district three weeks to get my paper work in the sub system. So I only managed to get one sub day in before spring break. I am still looking for an other job for I will need something for  summer.
It is harder on me to work a full time job than most people my age. So making sure that I take care of myself is very important. Running is a big part of that right now. I ran the Austin half marathon last month and had a new personal best time. I have an other half marathon coming up at the end of this month and hoping to do one every six weeks this year. 
Back to decluttering and packing for me.

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.

Behind

I know I am way behind on my blog posts. And there is so much to tell but for now here is a quick story. Some how I have ended up with a scorpion as a pet. I say I because I am going to be the one that going to end up caring for it. The scorpion likes live crickets to eat. So I have crickets that I am caring for too. And you need to make sure they get feed, get water and vitamins. Yes, you have to give them vitamins to make sure the scorpion gets everything it needs from the crickets. I will have to say it has been interesting.
