Coly23 - That's a bet that I'm sure to lose but am willing to try my best. I "am" very competitive so the challenge cannot be passed up. Mind you, I'm posting this on your thread so that when I eventually lose it won't be seen on mine ;-)
Thanks for making me one of the "girls". At this time of year I usually have a big bushy beard for the winter but am clean-shaven still. Not sure if I'm going to grow one this year or not. Movember (a great cause) is coming up but the usual team is silent. So - try not to notice the stubble and we can gossip about the neighbours and trade self-care tips.
WRT the "stuff" - it helped me to be able to pack it all away out of sight. It makes the house feel more "mine". Over nearly 30 years I'm sure you can imagine how it is scattered everywhere. One junk drawer took me over 1/2 hour to do. This way I don't feel like I've abandoned W (did I just lose already?) and am staying true to when I promised to take care of her stuff. A big challenge has been pictures. Much of the artwork that we had collected left including a number of originals by unknowns. I've filled in the empty hooks mostly with family pictures that I found stuffed in various drawers. I was joking with a friend today that if any potential NG shows up in the house they won't be threatened because in almost all those pics were from a trip we took to Disney about 10 years ago when W was probably around 180 lbs at 4' 11"" (why do I feel like Hagrid in Harry Potter who kept repeating "I shouldn't have said that" - lost again?) Yes - she looked good to me then and still does.
I like your current title even if I don't completely understand it. Especially earlier in my journey I tried to focus on one step at a time, one day at a time. We'll get there GF - we just have to practice looking forward. We'll see the future that way.
