DIY & Home Improvement

...that's what you're really moving into!

I've thought about houseboats, too, though that would something to consider if relocation out of SoCal is part of the equation...

And yes -- part of what was going on in the old place is that I was struggling to keep up rent on a bigger place, which I had back when my boys were boys, and with me nearly half the time.

And as they grew, and moved into their own lives, and I still had to deal with wacky housemates in the one sublet room in order to swing rent on the house, I started to wonder what I was doing with all that extra space, so much of the time..

In the meantime, I'm in this "middle sized place" now. Not sure where I'll land after this. But I figure sorting and winnowing now can only be good.

Especially after seeing all the stuff both my dad - -and my grandma, before that -- left behind!
