Last year’s blogging effort sort of petered out
ignominiously, didn’t it?
I honestly don’t know why I’m having such a hard time
writing. I suspect it has something to
do with the all-pervasive political pall that has fallen over our world. I have been overwhelmed…buried by the endless
stream of catastrophic bullshit emanating from the bullshitter-in-chief, his
cult following and his sycophants in Congress.
It seems like there is nothing good or pure or innocently exciting under
the sun.
And in this heavy, poisonous atmosphere, I am preparing to
embark upon a shiny new chapter of life.
Doesn’t bode too well, does it?
Yet…here I am, clickety-clacking away in my new home, ink
barely dry on the official documents, and house #1 in Scappoose still having
not quite yet made its debut on the affordable-housing-hungry market in greater
PDX.
A little scary…yes, indeed.
But things have been moving forward inexorably; while not as rapidly as
my impatient heart would desire, certainly as quickly as this old girl and her
old guy are able to assimilate the changes.
Our first goal was to reduce our inventory of vehicles to one each (plus
the bus), all paid for and titles in hand. That
was a process! But eventually we were
able to declare “Mission Accomplished” and had put ourselves on better
financial footing to begin our house hunt.
So…I am going to attempt to re-invigorate my blog with tales
of the ups and downs of setting ourselves up for retirement. If I’m too overwhelmed by the sheer volume of
heavy political crap to formulate decent essays on that subject, I can, at the
very least, maintain the “historical record of my life” aspect of the
blog.
Stay tuned, if you’re interested…
