Thinking of selling and doing the condo thing
By: dinkleburg Date: June 15, 2021, 11:16 am
---------------------------------------------------------
As much as I love the privacy and whatnot that Chez Dinkleberg
provides, this poor old house is in need of quite a bit of $$
and attention in the not too distant future. This, coupled with
this damn neuropathy crap I'm going through, has me considering
downsizing to an apartment style condo.
Not really able to wrap my head around this right now. I
wouldn't do anything about it until next summer, at any rate,
but it's a big step and does mean the loss of a place suitable
for making saxophone type music. OTOH, I haven't really played
the horn in over a year anyway because it seems to really
aggravate the neuropathy thing.
Gettin' old sucks sometimes. :(

Can relate. I need this 2 story house like I need a hole in the
head. I’d like to sell it and get house, 1 story, about 1500 sq.
feet total. But until I get this whole health nightmare dealt
with, I’m not going to take on something as stressful and
draining like a move. Lord. The crap you accumulate is mine
boggling. There is 35 years of crap here.
😞

Yeah, I'm in an older 1080 square foot place with a finished
basement so effectively around 1800 or so. It's way more than I
need, and perhaps in the future, way more than I'll be able to
properly look after/clean etc. I also have 22 years worth of
crap, and frankly, the prospect of trying to get rid of some of
it seems a bit overwhelming. I'm not really a buy-sell kinda
guy. I just don't have the personality for it. OTOH, I really
hate to just toss some of it or give it away, but a lot of my
furniture is wore out and shabby and definitely will be getting
shit canned if I move. This place has more than doubled in value
from what I got it for, and coupled with the move to a cheaper
condo there should be enough $$ for new things. I may just rent
for a while if I can afford it. Still time to figure things out,
anyway.
After the talk with the neurologist today, I'm not exactly
feeling optimistic at the moment. I fear that when push comes to
shove, I'm gonna crippled with the big D again. If that's the
case, I dunno how I'm gonna manage a move and the stress that
goes with buying and selling a piece of property. Feeling a bit
down at the moment, I'm afraid.
Sorry for dumping this out here, bro. I know that you have your
own much more serious issues to deal with.
Love you, man. :-*

A friend talking about painful things in their life is
not”dumping” Dan. I’m glad you and I can talk about these
things, frankly and honesty. Makes me feel closer to you.
I hope both of us make some positive headway in our mutual
health issues soon.
I love you too Brother.

little note.

I seem to recall some life changing issues for you in the past
that I'm not sure I would have been able to cope with. I wish I
had a bit of your positiveness. I dunno how you do it, tbh.
Michael J Fox once said, "We all have our bag of hammers to
carry around." I couldn't agree more.
I'm glad you're here with us, Dude! :-*

on a positive note... i got to play music in front of living
humans a couple of weeks ago!!! i regularly perform gong
meditations for floridas permaculture society. one of my
regular gigs is “world naked gardening day” at camp wildcat
creek alternative education center. im a regular there as the
owner and i are good friends and the creek swimming hole has
always been clothing optional... no big deal... but i did
think of you guys... and how you would never believe.. lol..
amanda, a 32yr old yoga instructor from nyc flew in because she
heard i was going to perform... brought a girlfriend from lynn
mass, where i used to live because she figured she would love it
too... isabella wants to come live with me... 23yr old wood
nymph from costa rica... i mean can you imagine standing in a
spring fed creek in the forest... ferns, palm trees... crystal
clear water so pure you can drink it from your hands... the
sunlight streaming through the lush green canopy... a green
glow reflected on three smiling faces as they ask permission to
join me as the vibration of a 30 inch and 22 inch singing bowl
tingles the nerves of everything within touch of the water...
“come on in, the waters been waiting to be this fine”...
