Sometimes we do not want to do things, but we should, yet, they are put off and put off for various reasons. I was in that predicament. My basement was full and I really needed to sort through the stuff and start getting rid of it, but I always found reasons not to. Then the recession came along and I was forced to close the bed and breakfast and move to the big house. Putting two households into one is a challenge. What to keep? So many clothes? Then the decision to go back to work was made and that means keeping some clothes that I have not worn since I moved here. I, once again will have to be dressed decently for school.
So, out of necessity, because I had to, I have begun to liquify my belongings. Selling antiques here is not feasible though, so I am not sure what I will do with them. In the end, when I am ready to go, I plan to have an estate sale, but hey, why do I have to wait until the end? If I move back to the my little house with only the things I want to keep, the rest will be ready to go. New idea….estate sale sooner than later. But, also it depends on whether I can rent the top floor of the bed and breakfast to my friend or whether I rent the little house out at all. I am thinking I am just going to move back there and not rent either house if my friend does not take it. I will be working in the new year, so will be able to support both houses, that is until the big house is empty. I finished grouting the Mexican tile in the little house today, a job that has been waiting for me since moving here. I did not want to do it, because unlike regular tile, hand painted hand made tile is irregular in size and depth which makes it difficult to do a good job with the grout. I did it though, because I had to. See?
There are blessings in messes. When we don't want to do something and circumstances dictate otherwise, it can be a blessing. In my case, this is so and I am now doing what I should have been doing all along, though now it is because I have to.
Oy!
