Decisions

OMG, BFF, LOL - not for me-I'm going to write in just plain English. I hope it's understandable!

Anyway, it's been a while (5 months!) but the time has taken us from dreary rain to beautiful sun and lovely fresh breezes. I'm such a sun seeker that I have to get out into that beauty as soon as I can. The doors are open, the curtains are up and I'm smiling-sort of.
The weather can only do so much and then it's up to me to make my day, but I'm trying to think of fun and inspiring things to do.

I titled this blog - Decision - because it seems like I'm always having to make decisions about things that are either not important or are too important and it's wearing me down. I'm sure this is not an uncommon feeling and I will get beyond it. I'm hoping for some free time to think, as soon as my retirement happens. The plan is to have May 25 be my last day, but it looks like I may be working a bit in June and also helping to train Judy when she starts. She's not available until June 11.
That all means I can't really relax until the middle of June and then we have John's party, Goldcrest garage sale and probably 3 or 4 other things I have forgotten.
The garage sale seems insurmountable right now. We have to haul stuff to Thess/Seth's and find a place to put it until the sale. I really can't move most of the big things myself, so I end up either not moving anything or having to ask someone to help-and I hate that. Do I even know what to sell? Do I want to sell stuff and if not, how to get rid of some good things and some bad things?

My computer needs updating or replaced, and I can't decide what to do. There are a lot of factors involved in making that decision.
Do I want to watch movies via Netflix on my computer-if so I need a new one with an intel chip
Is 1G of memory enough for the old computer - to do what I want (1 G is all it will take)
Should I ask friends/family to help put new memory/drive in my old computer or take it somewhere to be done

Organizing the house for Thess to move in. I hope that happens soon and she can continue the momentum of her soap making and also so Seth can paint and arrange the house for his family. I need to move furniture and stuff around here to make it work for a John and I and Thess - that part is exciting but frustrating because I have to move things to see if I like them that way and I can't move things myself - argh! I'll figure it out.

How do I wrap my head around what to do with Robbie's house. Debbie and Joe want some money by the end of the year. I guess I just need to take some time to really make a decision about keeping it or selling (trying to sell) it. If I keep it I tie up a lot of money, but I want a place for Seth and the kids to have a home and Seth seems to want to put time and energy into it - that's a good thing.
and on and on

For the summer, all I really want to do is sit on the porch and read, drink wine, have a snack and walk downtown every once in a while to window shop and have a cup of coffee. Doesn't that sound easy enough!

I'm heading out to the porch right now, to think! Wish me good thoughts and I wish them to you!
