Lika’s Log

Anyone whose known me for a long long time knows my feelings about moving. Don’t ask. I’ll go off. LOL

But crap happens. Long story short, we need to move again. Soon. Like the end of the month. Don’t exactly know where but I’ll let you know when I know. I have moved so many times you would think I have it down to a science. Not even close. The ideal move to me would be to just pack a suitcase and go. But to pack up 30 plus years of stuff is another story. Everytime I think I got rid of stuff, there’s still plenny stuff. What’s up with all this stuff.

In that sense I have to give credit to people who know how to get along/live with the least amount of stuff. Scarey thing is I think I/we have downsized considerably but yet there are still a lot of stuff. Ok, so I’m part packrat. I’ve gotten rid of a lot of stuff. Evidently not enough because there is much to do and pack and trash.

The last move I gave a way a ton of books. Why do I need these books. Reference. Yeah well I’ve downsized, really. I’m down to 1 bin. Ok 1.5 bins of books. Do you know how heavy a bin/box of books are. Luckily I’ve found a bookstore that sells/buys used books, CDs, DVD’s and such. Bookman’s ~ love that store. Bad thing is I sell my books and magazines to them and then I buy used books & magazines. I do read them. But its a vicious cycle. LOL

I like to think I’ve gotten a better attitude about this whole gypsy thing. So now that I’ve adjusted my mind, my body is the one that feels it. Use to be the other way around; the physical part was easy the mental part was insane. Now the mental part is easy, the physical part is painful.

I know I ain’t no spring chicken, but I still like to think that I can still spring!*L*
