Re: Yay!

[siberian_skys]

I have a feeling that my house is going to stay a sty, because I'm going to be writing. I should probably roll up my sleeves in the morning and at least get the living room cleaned-up and the kitchen counters wiped down before I start writing or it will be another day without cleaning. I've got to do that done. I think if I make a dent, I might make some progress in the rest of the house.

You can have a spotless house, or a writing career. Rarely both, unless someone else is doing the housework.

My house is messy, but I write up a storm. That's not a failing; it is a lifestyle choice.

Messy doesn't bother me. I always said that messy is a sign of a creative mind. It's just completely out of control. And I still have to donate the rest of my Mom's stuff that I'm not keeping. And eventually I want out of Florida, but I don't know to where. I also promised a friend that I won't make any huge decisions for at least a year. I know she's' right. I just spend a lot of time being tired.

Some people find it easier to get rid of all at once, but most need to do it in small sections. This closet, that room; or the clothes, the dishes, etc.

There are a lot of better places than that.

This disaster map shows that some places in the Great Plains and around the Great Lakes are low-risk for various natural disasters.

This one adds volcanoes and tsunamis.

Here's a list of low-risk areas.

That is wise advice.

*hugs offered*

Grief is exhausting. Dealing with the social expectations after a death is hard work. Of course you're tired.

I know I"m one of the people who need time to donate my Mom's stuff. She was a pack rat, bless her heart. I did make a huge dent early on, but dropped the ball later on. And then there was the stuff I wasn't sure what to do about. It's not like I'm going anywhere anytime soon. I know there are a lot of people who feel perfectly safe moving in a pandemic, but I'm not one of them.

Thank you for the links. I've been worried about feeling safe wherever I move to. That's the reason I want out of Florida. I've never felt safe.

Accepts hug. :-) Offers one in return.

I think it would help if I slept better and wasn't living through a pandemic, especially in an area full of people with a serious lack of common sense.
