Living The Normal Life

 I am over fatigue, simply moving out process is very exhausting and expensive too. OMG! I broke my fingernails and smashed my right pinky toe. It was painful for two days because it had been swollen and my toe nail would probably be pulled out. Yuck. Shocking.

Our internet is slow. How could that be? It should be faster because we ordered for more GB bundle and to think that I haven't use my computer for many days now my internet connection is haywire? That is too much to handle right? That gives me headache.

The only consolation is the new house we moved in too is bigger in space. The master bedroom is much bigger in size but the closet is small. I have to use the closet in the second bedroom too or purchase a clothes rack. We have 4 big boxes of linens (beddings, shams, bed covers). Two big boxes of towels. At least there is a 3 tier cabinet in the bathroom for towels. 1 1/2 bathrooms. 3 bedrooms. Smaller yard without garage. But it's okay.

Finally sort out thousands of clothes, some thrown away, other clothes will be given away because they are not worn out nor been used because they are smaller in size. Outgrown sized clothes. The shoes? I don't throw away my shoes. lol. I have 4 pairs of brand new shoes haven't been used yet. One pair of shoes I bought fit me when bought them but don't know why the size is too small now and wont fit. How that happened? 

Hubby threw so many furniture in the landfill such as the : sofa (heavy long couch), recliner, 2 bedside tables, computer desk, swivel chair, etc. and paid $38 for the fee.  Why? Yup, you have to pay at the dumpsite.

 They wont fit in the bedroom and the living room so those furniture are gone.

Downsizing is a must sometimes. 

My sister and brother-in-law came to help and in return we gave them some stuff: 2 pyrex glass (bakeware),  my ceramic planter, my blueberry plant in a large vase, my lilac plant, hydrangea, 2 boxes of big sized jars for canning, bags of fertilizer, etc.

Hey, the good thing about being in this new place is outside, too many people from all walks of life WALK. I mean there are "people." There are people walking without the need to walk their dogs. That is something normal!! I mean it really. It feels like Philippines where humans have to do the walking or else you will lose the ability to walk. We live closer to the downtown area. Unlike before when  we have to drive through the downtown area for more than 15-20 minutes now it is probably 5 minutes only. Closer to many important amenities is a good thing. I think we you get older you must live closer to the hospital, to the Church, to the market and to the place of employment. Still is having a vehicle,  a very important basic need to get to one place to another.

Now it feels normal. We should have done this before instead of being in a secluded place closer to the farm when we are not actually farmers. darn it. Never ever live in country side (rural area) if you like seeing hundreds to thousands of people or else you'll feel alienated. Unless of course you like to concentrate on writing a book (re- The Shining version) then the rural life not the urban life is great for you.

Now the problem is where to store hubby's work tools, tractor and boat. ?

While we are still resting and relaxing, thinking of where to store those big boxes (containers) ?? Suddenly Victorious show featured their episode on "Wanko's" were the cast was trapped inside the big box store. Ha ha! Sure, it's mind boggling crazy funny.
