Downsizing, To Move or Not to Move? That is the Question

No not going back to Califonia! Staying in my "Third World State, New Mexico"! My family lives up in an area called the Four Corners. It's where Arizona, Utah, Colorado and New Mexico meet, only spot in the US where that happens. The are where they live is just on the New Mexico boarder of Colorado and the town of Durango. I have four different towns to look at and be close to them.
Going to have a moving company come in and do the final move. Just have a lot of Sh&% to move. Sue recomended a cite she uses to get rid of stuff locally. I was just going back though her thread to find it again!
As I said, I have spent the last few months really digging in doing research on what all of this is from! Having a "Coming to J.C. meeting with my PCP to run some tests, even though we have done them before. I know a lot more than I did two years ago!
I WANT TO TKAE A MOMENT TO RECOMEND SOMETHING TO THOSE WHO READ OR RESEARCH THEIR ILLNESS OR DISEASE! i FOUND SOME LITTLE METAL BOOK MARKS CALLED "BOOK DARTS"! iF YOU GO ON LINE TO EITHER BOOK DARTS OR JET PENS YOU WILL FIND THEM! THEY HAVE BEEN INVALUERABLE TO ME WANTING TO NOTE OR KEEP AS A MEDICATION OR EXERCISE THAT I MAY WANT TO COME BACK TO AT A LATER TIME!
THEY ARE INCREDABLE!
FROM THE LAND OF ENCHANTMENT!

Sundance,
Wherever you move to, make sure there are major medical hospitals, universities close by. Very important as we age. Also, as time goes by we are less inclined to want to travel any distance for care.
That’s why I suggested california, since you are a San Fernando valley baby. UCLA is just over the hill.
Try and get rid of as much as you can before the move.
I’ve been downsizing for over a month now. The charity thrift stores would love your stuff, I’m sure.
Wondering, have you been tested for arthritis?
Just don’t over do it, aches and pains are not worth it.

Yes, book darts are wonderful. I use them when reading books or magazines for pages I want to revisit. They are easier than paper clips. I keep them on my bedside table and find them helpful when reading late at night and not wanting to take the time that evening to note somer passages of importance or interest to me. My beloved father-in-law gave them to me as a Christmas gift one year. (Of course there were other gifts.) Ah, those were the years. Using them reminds me of my father-in-law. @joybringer1
