Taking Charge

One of the things we forgot to do when we moved was update our address a few places. In general, this isn’t a bad thing, but when it comes to my Mom’s Medicare plan, it was a bad thing. They were refusing to pay for some of the bills because they were coming from a [...]

Happiness is feeling at peace in your own home. For the first time in a very long time, I am at peace. I’m not worried about getting sick, not worried about what the next problem is going to be, not worried about anything. Life isn’t perfect, but who’s life is?I was reading the birth announcements [...]

I did 5 loads of laundry. Wash. Dry. Fold. Made the hubby put it away.I’m flat broke and have way too much that requires money to do. Tempted to get payday loans, but resisting so far.Not really feeling all that well, but settling in finally. It’s been two weeks, so it’s starting to feel like [...]

God I love living somewhere near people. I don’t really mind the traffic or the noise. I also don’t mind the loud music. The only thing I miss is my neighbors. That’s really all that I miss. No more being responsible for fixing the heat if it dies. No more having to wonder how to [...]

We’re about half done with our move. I’m trying to figure out where we got so much stuff. It seems like it will never end. We’re seriously only about half done. We have about 10 days to finish. I’m not stressing out. Not at all. *snort*I want to take a vacation. Outer Banks beach rentals [...]

So we’ve done a little more packing and this time, we found family pictures. You would have thought we’d found a bushnell spotting scope from the reaction to the pictures. We took way longer looking through them that we should have, but it was nice to see what was there. We’re still in a holding [...]

One thing we’ve been trying to do while moving is consolidating. As part of the consolidation, we’re bundling services. For instance, we’ve had DirecTV since 2003, but with our phone services, we can have Dish Network, so we’re going to be doing that. We need renter’s insurance when we move, so I’ve been looking to [...]

I do not like moving. Gods I hate it with such a fiery passion. The packing, the purging, the need to pare down. I don’t want to do it, but when this move is over it’ll be nice. I want to get a couple stainless steel barrels and have a fire. Sadly, they’re no longer [...]

Boxes and packing and moving. That’s the story of my life. I’d rather be searching for tech jobs than packing! I can’t wait for the whole process to be done, to be perfectly honest with you. I want to get moved and be somewhere that the roof isn’t leaking. I don’t want to have to [...]
