Sickeningly Grateful

susandennisYesterday I was thinking about what if I hadn't moved. I put my mind back in the condo and my stress level went up about 4000%. From little things (the oh so annoying building manager) to big things (what would I do on my own in a big earthquake), everything was harder and some kind of scary. I would have way more money. And easy access to Mariner games and the Goodwill Store. But, really, those are the only two things I could think of on the PRO side. And, honestly, I do not miss going to the Mariner games one single bit.
Money is not tight right now but access to it is. I have plenty in investments but most is tied up by tax laws so that to get to it, I'd have to forfeit most to taxes. I still have enough to live on but I do need to be careful. When the condo sells, I'll be fine. And that could be by the end of the year so not even a legit worry. Also if the asshole in Oklahoma ever seems to give us the rest of my cousin's estate, I'll be fine but I gave up counting on him a long time ago. We could sue successfully, probably, but that would be complicated and expensive so basically, I'm just assuming it will never happen.
But every single other bit of my life is better here. And I am so grateful.
I got an eye mask from Amazon which is comfortable and works wonderfully. This morning, I woke up to the usual sounds of Julio running everywhere and Biggie knocking stuff off to get my attention. I lay there in the dark for a while enjoying the sounds. It was lovely. Then I lifted the corner of my mask and OMG put it back fast! the sun was painfully bright. I threw covers over my head to diffuse it until my eyes could adjust but damn, that mask does its job!
No swimming today and no excuse. I just didn't wanna.
I can't remember if I documented the latest Spiriva situation. I had a few cough attacks and was using the Albuterol inhaler more and then had a couple of days of just feeling crappy. (not to mention the Dr. Fitbit AFib report) so I caved. One puff instead of two every day and am doing it at night instead of the morning. It's probably all psychosomatic but it's working perfectly. After 3 days I feel good and fine. And using half a dose, I have about a year's worth on hand and another year's worth coming for free from Humana before I kick them to the curb.
Today I have an Amazon return to drop off at UPS and then I need tangerines and ice cream and white thread. Once back here, I need to finish the puzzle. We made great progress yesterday. And it would be great to get it done before elbow coffee tomorrow.
And the ballgame is at 4.
