It was a cathartic downsizing and a benefit too many who became receipients of our excesses.
I do remembering promising myself that after all of that packing moving and driving I was done and that would be my last move.
I will admit that i still get itichy feet because I loved moving around the country in the day.
Now a day I pace myself and adhere more to the Greeks admonition of moderation in all things.
Time for my mid-morning nap  |
That's the trouble........how do we do it all "around and between" our morning and afternoon naps????????
Like you and your spouse, we also have always been in synch and super organized..........but the past few years have definitely "slowed down".
This springtime we are replacing all the carpeting (this is a tri level huge home).......we're doing it for resale value.......just the thought of emptying the entire china cabinet in the dining room and where to put all the furniture when they are ripping out the carpeting, pads, etc......to install the new............I know they do it......but it's all just mind boggling.
Ditto for all the closets......which need painting on the interior.....the carpeting put inside on the floor of the closets..........and then all the clothes returned. Again, just a lot of work. Mornings is when we do our most strenuous tasks as we are morning folks.
Thanks again. Appreciate your comments.
Again, the energy level is NOT what it used to be.....now that we are 67 & 68.
The last time we moved to Florida we were 49 years old.........turned 50 when we returned to Vermont.
There is truly a vast difference between 49/50 and pushing 70.....in energy.
