susandennisAt one point last night, I lost $40,000. I thought I'd transferred it to another account AND ALSO wrote a check against it that would now bounce.
After 30 minutes of sheer panic, I looked again and nope. All the pennies were where they should be. But, I knew that it was time to crash. And so I took my fried brain to bed and slept like a rock.
This morning I got up to the scene as it was when I got the news yesterday. I was in the middle of going through all the stuff that I dearly want to hang on to for no good reason. The Tech and Office Supplies. It's so hard. And now that I know exactly what floor plan I am moving into, I need to go back and move some stuff from the save to the scrap pile. :(
I am so looking forward to living with less stuff. It's amazing how freeing it feels but when it comes down to file folders and post its, I'm suffering from OneMoreWon'tHurt syndrome. I don't think it's fatal but it is hard. So hard.
One thing that is helping is that when I was at Timber Ridge on Tuesday, I got a good look at the garbage system. You have a shoot for garbage and a shoot for recycling. If it does not fit into one of those shoots, it's a problem. Now, that's how decisions are getting made. If I take this and then decide I don't want it, will it fit into the shoot? Ok, then it can go. If not, it's a nope.
Today, I need to finish the tech. Actually, I need to finish the living room. That's the goal.
I did spend some time last night re-going over the Timber Ridge marketing stuff. The stuff I glossed over originally. And found more good stuff. I'm wondering, for instance, if maybe I want to change doctors - move to one there in Issaquah. I'm sure I want to change eye doctors. etc. And I spent some time googling around the other day. Last night I read that they will not only help me identify good prospects in medical fields of all kinds, they will set everything up for me if I want.
Oh and, do NOT tell You Know Who and You Know Who BUt.. once a month, a cat groomer comes to clip nails!!
There is no baseball today.
I think I'll get some breakfast and then get to work.

I see the facility has a health center. Do they offer checkups and stuff like that, or offer prescriptions if you get an infection?
Whoa! They have a monthly cat grooming service - so awesome!
Good luck with today's cleanout project.

It strikes me that this would be really useful, and might be as popular as the dastardly groomer of innocent felines.
