Killing time
Nov. 27th, 2017 07:19 pmI'm hungry, but can't eat dinner for another few minutes because my Progrf med has to be taken on an empty stomach an hour before I can eat dinner. Blergh.
Thanksgiving weekend was beautiful, if about 10 degrees too warm. Ick. That's something I won't miss when I do finally leave Texas. It's just too gorram hot for me, and it's only getting worse as time goes by.
I just hope I can get a lot more decluttering done before I go. The STUFF limits me - and it makes it far more expensive to maintain. I was captivated by the Minimalist Movement for a couple months this past summer, but I've gotten over that. Yes, the idea of 'less stuff' sounds great, but not to the lengths some people take it. I WILL NOT give up toilet paper or underwear. That thought is just ridiculous for hygiene reasons. I just was never an extremist, and that is certainly extreme. So - decluttering, yes. Conscious Spending, yes. Sepending more on experiences than stuff, absolutely. But give up things I use to stay and keep clean?? Oh HELL no!!
The main probelm I'm having now is that I've reached the point where I've gotten rid of all the 'easy' stuff. I'm now at the point where it's getting more difficult to decide to let go. I'm not willing to declutter my 'fantasy life', because I know that in order to HAVE my 'fantasy' life, I have to BE and DO the things I see in my fantasies. And that is only more difficult if I get rid of the accessories to reach that life. I know it's as simple as DOING what you want to do in your fantasy. So that's my main stumbling block on downsizing. Annoying.
But first - the silly food thing.
