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.

Hammer vs. Hand

Only one post this week and it's going to be short and sweet. Last Saturday when I was out making garden boxes. I managed to hit my hand with a hammer. I did stop working and put ice on it and took some Advil. I did all the things that you would think to do for a hammered hand. But by Tuesday I was still having eye crossing pain, so I call the nurse to see what they recommend I do. She said I need to come and be seen. Off to the doctor I went. I didn't think that I had broke anything but I was wrong. I have a Scaphoid Fracture of the Wrist.
