The Basement

We gotta wear swimsuits? 

i hope you guys realize i dont chime in much on these because most of the time i feel like ive got nothing to say that would help...  we all have issues but in comparison, mine are of little note. 

Thanks, Jim.

I appreciate you lending an ear.
Take care my friend.

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 **** 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.
