GlennM's Journal, 18 May 2010

Very busy today - I wasn't home until just a little while ago, so I will do two words tomorrow. I am making plans to move, I am going to start selling possessions - what little I have and put them in the paper for low prices. I will get an OK from my landlord for tag sales too. Rainy and cool. I am doing well emotionally I think. I am not close to any family here really - my twin sister a bit but she has ten people in her house total so she is busy. My friends usually just call to get gas money if they're on the way someplace, except for one really. And so I realize a move for me far away is not going to change anyone's life really but mine, and it will be for the better. I am going to have someone I know start selling my extra books for an account to leave. If I have some money it will help. A veteran's shelter is a step above a regular one believe me, I've been in one of those before when I moved to Hawaii, yikes! All I really need is an off-line computer for my writing and a bed and some clothes and I'll be fine, my health is important to me more than anything else and it will be good not to have to do lots of housework, it will possibly take me years to acquire lots of junk that just needs housekeeping to be done, not my favorite of tasks... :) Hope everyone is well. Avoid that sugar and you should all be fine in the long run... :)

A move can be an exciting opportunity Glen...I once read an article online about a guy who ditched almost everything he owned...he decided to live simply with no more than 100 things...count forks, plates, socks, books etc...and it soon quickly adds up...If he purchased soemthing - something else had to go...glad you're day was busy and active...have a good evening....hugggs

Hi drd3775 - I don't have much now - less than a few hundred dollars worth of stuff if I sold it all, a few TVs, books, furniture that isn't worth anything. I am looking forward to going, it is a step in the right direction. Most people my age have acquired a house, land and a car or cars and often have maid service or kids for maid service ;) and I realize that I have so little now that I'm not leaving anything of value really. I will be living at a veteran's shelter for months until I get an apartment and will be using their computers so may be able to get on daily at least here. I am looking forward to the nice weather. I am leaning toward Tucson long-term, but if Phoenix is nice I will stay there. My sister will hold my music CDs and some clothes and books until I'm settled in. I do eventually plan to have a full apartment but that may take years, but I am not coming back here to live again of that I am certain. As far as dieting goes I will be fed I'm sure plentiful amounts of food at the veteran's shelter so I will limit portion sizes for certain. I am ready to move now but have to take my time planning this, so I am ready in the autumn to go. I sometimes think I am sort of a materialistic person but I have so little so I guess I'm not. I was born in the year 1962 on a day and time when in astrology Saturn and Neptune were exactly square zero degrees, zero minutes. Supposedly it means I can live more easily than most without material things. Even if I have success late in life as a writer I doubt I will accumulate much... Have a great night...
