How's the 'energizer bunny', Sue this morning? Did you finish the sanding before the air quality kept you inside? Also, how's that daughter's arm healing? I hope it's all better now and I missed it while I had my head under my pillow. Hope all is well....

I've sent my antique dealer friend a note to see when she can meet me at my storage unit that I'm closing this month. No more unit payments! Too expensive!! and, it makes no sense anymore, since I still haven't gotten my renovations finished. I'm getting the plumbing work started again, that's good and will empty lots of space in my 2nd bedroom where I'm storing all the purchased vanities, sinks, etc. It's important to have another bed available. I'd love to set it up in Rob's condo since it's a pretty old, handmade mahoghany double bed I'm hoping he'll decide to keep. Then, I have a place to stay if I need to evacuate during work.

I'm using some of the furniture I'm keeping in the 3rd bedroom making myself a sitting room so I can get out of my bedroom if I need to stay upstairs after hospital or whatever. I love my bedroom w/recliner, tv, etc and windows with the live oaks...but need to get out of the BR for healthier outlook.

Plumbers are tearing down walls and cast iron pipe from upstairs 2 baths to downstairs 1/2 bath and dining room. It's going to be a mess, pretty big, and cost an arm, so, closing the storage unit will help pay the plumbers!

I'm also thinking all this will make it easier when/if I move into a retirement apartment that's much smaller. Trying to think it through.......Tired. Time to rest a bit, then downstairs to ck on my flying feathered friends and hang the new skeeter zapper. Goody!
Be well and know you are sooooo blessed. elizabeth

Elizabeth - the Energizer Bunny needs new batteries. It has been a tough few weeks, where we lost one of our best friends, but we got a chance to travel to Illinois to say good-bye.
This weekend I had a great picker-upper, we got to have an in-person visit with my cousin this morning over brunch after 2 years apart! I am delighted to see her health improved by moving to her daughter's home, where she has good care and healthy food. She is in a wheelchair, and has health issues, and her ex was verbally berating and physically neglecting her to the point of abuse. None of us, including her daughter, knew what was going on. Since the move she is a different person.
My daughter is healing well, able to work and starting more physical work on her house, but still living here.

I am happy to hear you have decided to begin to down-size - it's hard to let go at first, but as you do more, it becomes so much easier.
Take care and enjoy those birds!
Sue
