[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 745228, member: 18958"] I will tackle some hard stuff next week. These are the biggest dragons to slay: I will gather up M's stuff in the living room. (Not so bad). The front bedroom is filled with stuff "to sell on eBay." Most is stuff I bought online in the first two years after my mom died. It is a disaster. The garage. M said he'll help me clear out some space (by moving out some furniture and loads of boxes ). He's unavailable until Thursday. (Mon and Tues I can't work either.)So we can do that Thursday. So actually reading what I just wrote next week is not planning out to do anything big. I could clear the living room and maybe do one box in the front bedroom (where the eBay stuff is.) In addition to working in the garage 1 day. Now. I have two dilemnas. I have 5 computers. One is new and arrived not working and I did not realize it until past the return interval. The four laptops I paid to have fixed and the guy did not repair them adequately. M is of the opinion I should cut my losses and not throw good money after bad. To just junk all of them and buy a new one. This was $500! (Not counting the cost of the new one.)i have to keep moving forward. What do you think? There is also the decision about the eBay selling, to recoup some of the money I spent on all this stuff. The thing is I'm old. Do I really want to spend months selling junk? I did that buying to save my life at the lowest period of my life .it was literally to keep living that I bought that stuff. I knew no other way to get through each hour Do I really want to sell on eBay or dance tango in Brasil and go to Greece? And work. I have never used drugs .I've worked hard in my life. Part of me feels like I deserved to go off the deep end as i mourned my mother and grieved so many losses and so much pain in my life. That this was money well spent, if it gave me room to heal. But it was lots of money. And I bought stuff I would never use like a snow wardrobe with 4 pairs of snow boots. And two pairs for m. AND a pair for my son. (We live where it's mostly warm) And silver jeweled cowboy belts. (2) ??? I'm not a cowgirl . What was i thinking. The room is filled to the ceiling. Sadly. I did not care what I spent. Completely untethered to reality. For mes that will never exist. Sad. So that's where I am. I am grateful to each of you. [/QUOTE]
