@ess77 Oh Elizabeth, I think I'd like to hire you to come to my place and help me downsize almost EVERYTHING belonging to my past life in preparation for transitioning from a suite in Assisted Living to a small bedroom and 2 piece bathroom ( sink and toilet) at Long Term Care in a different city 10 hours away! I'm feeling entirely overwhelmed, especially since being so ill with severe IBS and a heart attack in July.

However, I'm blessed with 3 sons and their wives who have promised to arrive and take over for me, which is a big relief. I'll begin on a small scale myself by starting to shred multi bunches of paper receipts, etc., and have already gathered up all my beloved books for pickup and delivery to our seniors' residence library. 😥

I admire your tenacity as you face the challenge of your own huge downsize!

Wishing you much love and good luck with your upcoming surgery.

Hugs from Laurie

Laurie, good for you, getting this done and thank goodness you have family to help. Lend them to me , please.

This is a big move, Laurie. Didn't realize you'd made that decision. Are you at peace with your decision? I think it sounds lovely, sort of. How far from the family?
Horizon, diff err on furniture
I basically live upstairs now most of the time . Have it set up pretty comfy, but will be really happy after we empty the storage and get that finished. I think the sitting room in the extra bedroom, will give me different furniture and comfy place to stay. I hope I can have good days upstairs, until I need to move to a small apt in retirement community. We'll see...one day, one project at a time...

Glad you're getting things done, decisions made, moving on. Keep that precious smile from so deep inside. Life is heading in a different direction for sure.

Bless you, my friend. Enjoy the new digs! Elizabeth
