Map to the Simple Life

March 30, 2017

It has been a while since I’ve posted.  I handed my business over to one of my staff and walked away from it on January 31, 2017.  It is nice to be done with it.

Wish I could say I have gotten a ton of things done since but I haven’t.  I ended up coming down with the new and improved 2017 flu and then the new and improved 2017 stomach flu.  It has been just fabulous!  But it was nice to have time off work to recover.  I haven’t had that for 7 years.  Owning your own business is very tiring and unforgiving.

I started writing grants for a small non-profit organization located in East Harlem that offers free dance classes and experience in real life productions.  Their name is Keep Rising to the Top.

I started a new job in an office for a couple days a week.  Just to try the office thing again.  So far so good.  Hahaha.  It will be over by the time we drive off into the sunset in June.

I scanned in all our millions of books and shipped out the ones that are actually worth something and am currently working on cleaning up the guest house and prepping it for an Estate Sale.  No one has actually died so it isn’t technically an Estate Sale but in this neighborhood one doesn’t have a Yard Sale.  Hahahaha.  The guest house is a mess so it will be a while before I actually am able to start pricing things and placing them over there but it is a great place out of the weather to sell crap.   Alex did not leave it as pristine as I would have liked when she moved out.  Sigh.  Frankly I’ve never had much luck with anyone that stays over there.  Always a mess to clean up.  Another longer sigh.

I’m tired of selling stuff on craigslist.  People don’t show up and you end up living your life around when they can get their crap together enough to show up.  I don’t have that kind of patience anymore.

Things removed from my life:  Books.

91 Days and counting.
