When I was growing up Mama would often take Great Granma Quincy, myself and any of my sisters staying with us up to Ada OK. in a 1955 4 door tank that some refered to as a Buick Special We'd visit the folks still living on farms and the old homesteads. We always stayed at Great Aunt Pets double shotgun house. Now this lady was a prize winning fried chicken cooker. She was a big strong lady who'd catch a chicken wring it's neck and pitch it at us before either we or the poor chicken new what was happening. We'd holler and run around while the chicken just ran around flapping it's wings and not getting anywhere 'til it just fell over.
Lately I think I resemble that chicken :huh: So many things that need doing and I just seem to go in circles without accomplishing much on any one thing. Yet I'm wore plumb out...so far I stop before I fall over :s stumble yes but not fall over so far.
So I'm trying to prioritize and if my brain will kick into gear and I can focus on 1 thing when neccesary maybe I will be able to see that I have /am acutually making some progress.
This is what I've come up with.
1........Do the best I can on the apt in case I'm chosen at random next week as one of 40 apts.for a Federal Hud inspection. T
his is important because if your apt doesn't meet the guidelines it's weeks before you know it and the process of another inspection starts all over.
2.........Go back to clearing out the storage units and start early in the day because it's heating up down here. This is hard for me as I have very erratic sleep habits and often go many days only sleeping 2 to 4 hrs at a time. When I'm not rested I just don't have the energy to do much.
3.........Have the work finished on the Safari startimg March 13.
4.........As a break from storage units finish the work on Aliner and continue clearing out apt. and getting rid of unused Items. I sent a msg. to my niece in FL that if she needs/wants a freezer she can have mine. It takes up space and I can't get in to it half the time anyways.
My goal is that by some time in May I will be ready to move from this apt. complex. I don't know where we're [ Queenie] and I are going....NOT ANOTHER APT ! I have a lot of options with a few personal limitations to consider about this.
I'm so grateful that I found this site in Dec.2015. Also for all the information here and the way people here help one another in so many differents ways.
In 2015 I was in a deep rut thinking "This is life?" Since then I've been lucky enought to not only find a small T.T just big enough for Queenie and I , I also was able purchase it. Not always ez on a fixed income.
So we now we have a Safari and a Aliner and a group of folks that don't look at me like I've lost my mind when I say "I'm gonna sell everything and live in Van". I had planned for years to go fulltime in a RV of some kind. My birthday in July of 2011 was the goal set for that. Well my survivors SS benefits were not what I'd been told they would be and cold feet and fear of the unknown sent my hopes into a " maybe someday" limbo. Hopefully my someday is approaching soon, 6 years late is better than never...ain't it
Jewellann and The Boss.......she's got me trained
PS Any comments, ideas, suggestions are appreciated...I may not agree with 'em....I will consider them. Was that toooo passive agressive :angel:
