small living..or is it really?

the energy seems to come in waves. i had a whole bunch of it...right up until now. work is an absolute stressful event. upon my already doing job, i have been asked to make sure all of the things that i do in my job have been translated to 'steps'. people. the last 'steps' that were ever recorded...well. yeah. i'm using videos, tho. that has had its ups and downs.

because of the videos my door is closed. noise factor, you know. but it hasn't helped with the feelings of already being left out. i float between hurt/anger which really does not help my attitude. i literally had to say out loud this morning, "i don't work for __________, i work for God."

there is so much to wrap up here. i have money in a health account which is a use or loose by 22 april. i have been working on getting my teeth fixed. the snag in all that is the billing clerk is not familiar with my dental plan and i received an additional $400 bill - making my total payout $1k. well, after reviewing the dental provider's statements the $400 is basically 'hey, resubmit this with the correct film/paperwork'. um, yeah.

brooke is not doing well with everything. for her so many things have lumped themselves into one event. her physical issues, her dad got married, her dad is coming to town with new wife and the wife's daughter (which, really...i can understand that pain in that one. he pretty much takes same age not his offspring everywhere they go. but not his own.). the announcement of the new baby, my announcement that i'm leaving...my announcement that i'm leaving earlier than expected...each on their own is challenging. but for her they are all balled up.

and, i think i have a new, new update since i last blogged. i have an apartment. did i tell you that? get back to that in a moment. had to move packers, truck, driver, etc -- leaving here on may 3rd - arriving in the big 'ol state of texASS (hahaha...there's this scene in miss congeniality where miss texas is getting on the bus and the perv says that..helllooooo texxaaasssss. that's all i ever here in my head).

where was i? who knows. whatever. new (in which i just typed knew) apartment is 500 sq ft. say that really loud in your head 500 SQUARE FEET. the upside to this all is that for the past, probably, two years i've been studying and watching with interest the small living movement.

boy, do they get touchy. there are small living people - because they choose to based on where they want to live, small living people because they want to be better off financially, minimalists who like to say their life fits in a suitcase or they only have 100 items at a time, or medium-ists. not the clairvoyant type, just the somewhere in between all that. and very diverse. straight out of college, way in debt, empty nesters, singles and even family of FOUR LIVING IN LESS THAN 500 SQUARE FEET. in my world someone would die in that situation.

point is - please do not confuse these types.

whatever.

i am going to live in 500 square feet. that doesn't mean i'll have everything stored on every available wall space, over the door, under the bed, up to the ceiling way. i have been doing the marie kondo way. and i will keep at it. also trying to see items through "make sure it has more than one purpose" rule.

this will stun you but i am actually 'culling' my mirror collection. i took pride in how many mirrors i owned. all the different shapes and sizes - being able to make a "wall of mirrors" -- really, quite awesome. but after looking at each one individually, on it's own merit, i can live without a few. three are already gone and two more have been ID'd to go.

i only have 20 minutes left of lunch. need to eat and take a walk. before someone gets hurt.

bye!!
