m_d_hI woke with plenty of time to do the Monday morning chores, and I'd done some of them ahead of time Sunday night. Cats were rounded up without incident, I was out of the house at 7:55am. T was in a good mood throughout. It is regularly the most stressful period of my life, whether that sounds silly to the rest of you or not. These biweekly Monday mornings.
Traffic to the condo was pretty darn busy, didn't feel like a city under Quarantine at all.
Upon arrival I did a 43-minute dance video, since then I've mostly been attending work meetings via Skype or Zoom, and I've got another work meeting in 15 minutes. Then I'll head back to the house to cook dinner.
I've had some time to get used to my amateur hair self-cut, and my OCD fingers have found a few irregularities that I've corrected with scissors. I think I'll do a better job next time, will probably be a bit more brave and take the top down to #7 and the sides down to #4, with some sort of attempt at tapering in between.
As I drove here this morning I was wondering -- if I were to move out of the house for whatever reason, say next summer, would I want to live at this condo? Probably the main issue would be whether I could downsize my personal property to fit -- abandoning the greater share of my board games and remaining books. There are no toys I have at the house that I don't also have at the condo. I'm not big on having lots of clothes or shoes, those would easily fit if K were to remove more of his stuff.
I know ideally I'd want a little more space, and perhaps a different location closer to running trails. But this condo is a known and beloved place with lots of fun memories and an emotional connection with K, and I feel utterly safe here.
Well, I don't have to decide that today. One important thing to keep in mind is that I can get inexpensive senior living housing once I'm 55, which is just 19 months away. So if the time frame is next summer anyway, I may as well wait until I'm 55 toward the end of the summer, and buy senior housing then. Yeah, next summer I'll be 5 years from retirement. Sounds so close when I put it that way.
Oh, I'm leaving the frozen keys here in the freezer ... won't be back here until at least Friday ... three-day weekend so I should get two nights to self again!
