Itโ€™s 4 am and Iโ€™ve been up a couple of hours now! My brain kicked on after Fable woke me up to go to the bathroom. ๐Ÿฅด Now, I canโ€™t get it to turn off!

Iโ€™ve been painting and packing for 3 weeks straight without a day off to rest. But, weโ€™re finally starting to see the end of the tunnel. This downsizing isnโ€™t easy and Iโ€™ve learned a lot about myself while doing it. Iโ€™m so ready for this to be over with.

In the meantime Iโ€™ve had to replace the a/c in the house a few weeks ago. Iโ€™m just gonna say Cahhhh Ching $$$$. Along with my car dying on me while I was driving to work. The clutch went out and with all the expenseโ€™s Iโ€™ve had this year it might be a bit before I get it fixed. The estimate $1250.

Iโ€™m laying here thinking thereโ€™s a reason why my car quit before I had a chance to sale my house. ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค” Without a way to work now I could lose my job., Iโ€™m praying that doesnโ€™t happen. I had someone contact me about a job I wanted but couldnโ€™t make it because I had no way of getting there. ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Man, when it rains it pours sometimes. Grab a towel and get back up! You canโ€™t let life stop you and every time it bucks you off get back on and ride it like thereโ€™s no tomorrow. Because it might not be there.

Hugzzzz and Love, miss yโ€™allโ€ฆ โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ

WOW, Sis! And I thought I was running fast!

Reminds me of the old saying, "Time flies when you're having fun!" However, what you've relayed doesn't sound like fun. Maybe you could try the froggy remix of this saying, "Time's sure fun when you're having flies!"

I suppose that's how some wag came up with the advice, "Maybe we could be like frogs, and eat what bugs us!" Frankly, I don't think I'd like the taste, and I wouldn't want to eat anything, that can eat back.

I pray, that the first part of Proverbs 17:22, KJV, has been a help to both of us, today. "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones."
I read most of my emails I thought and didnโ€™t realize that I was gifted a new yearly membership!

Thank you so much! Because this comes to me when I needed a pick me up the most. I was driving to work and 4 miles outside the town I work in my beloved Mustang starts to break down. The clutch goes out by that time we limped 2 more miles. Now, I have no car.
To top it off I received a text from an application from 2 weeks ago for tomorrow morning. I tried to reschedule it for Wednesday because my boss is coming to get me and take me to work. Kinda hard to say โ€œHey, is there anyway you can take me to a job interview?โ€ Then an hour later my son gets a job lead as well. After not having work for over a year! He wrecked (totaled) his car 10 months ago. Not, a good time to have no wheels between us.

Iโ€™m almost done getting the house ready to sell. Please, send prayers for us. They are much appreciated, I thank you from the bottom of my heart ๐Ÿ’!

Going for now Jeremy and I are going to try and come up with a plan for the next few days.

Love yโ€™all โค๏ธ๐Ÿฅฐโค๏ธ

Not sure if you can afford it but have you looked at rental cars for the short period of time needed, to get to the interview for both of you?
TheBusmanPoet Author Icon - yes sir! I canโ€™t even afford to rent a car. Iโ€™m not sure how, where or when. Itโ€™s gonna have to be quick, within the next week.
Legendaryโค๏ธMask Author Icon - Sorry to hear. ๐Ÿ˜”

I hope this finds everyone doing well. Iโ€™ve been doing a lot of research and thinking about my future. Iโ€™m planning on selling my house and moving into a tiny home!

Yes, a Tiny Home! No, not an RV, I hate those although they are great for camping and temporary accommodations. I want a home and a Tiny Home is my choice. I feel comfortable and confident about my choice. This should help me get my life back on track with my goals for more time with God, Fable, and family. The expenses of owning a conventional home has become more than I can afford and handle at this time of my life.

Talk about Fable she just crawled up on my stomach and is wanting attention so, I gotta go. Love you guys. Talk to you soon! โค๏ธ

Ninja's United! Author Icon - not sure but maybe once I get settled we can find out! โค๏ธ
โ™ฅtHiNgโ™ฅ Author Icon - yes very much so. I have tons to downsize. Like almost all my furniture! ๐Ÿฅด๐Ÿ˜ญ
Legendaryโค๏ธMask Author Icon - I think more and more this is the wave of the future. Plus, you will probably have many tiny house neighbors to meet. It sounds very exciting, maybe you can write about all your new experiences and adventures!! *Heart*

Sending a special message for the Secret Ninja gift points that was given to me.

Aweโ€ฆ. Thank you so much for the gift points! I just realized that my yearly subscription is coming up and Iโ€™m going to be very short on gift points and may lose it this year. Thank you for the reminder.

Hugzzzz and love, Teresaโค๏ธ

Iโ€™m truly sorry to announce this today of all days, his birthday! I just received an email from Lynn Jones his sister. She hesitated to send it to me. The barrier of bad news. I do understand the wait.

Update: Well, the new job didnโ€™t pan out! Iโ€™m at square one again for jobs. Iโ€™m keeping hopeful that God has โ€œGREATERโ€ plans for me! ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป
In the meantime selling my house, so I can get a car and a smaller place to live in. I need to find something that is energy efficient, low maintenance and TINY. It will only be Fable and I. Besides, I donโ€™t want a roommate or roommates!๐Ÿฅด

I been praying for you and will continue to do so. Love you.
Keeping you in prayer. *Heart*
Sis, maybe the series, Living Big in a Tiny House, can give you some inspiration. Whether you have it built or find one readymade, it could be just right for you and Fable. https://youtu.be/7UrZVGJVuRQ?si=1Rz-LkArTFJw3gor
Thank you everyone for the messages and well wishes for my WdC anniversary! My apologies for being almost a month late. I last wrote on April 18th. It hasnโ€™t been a pleasant ride. Work is literally doing me in. Who would think putting out greeting cards would be exhausting. We change out for each season. We had Easter, Motherโ€™s Day, Graduation and Fatherโ€™s Day all wrapped up into a monstrous 6 weeks and on top of it we had 72 Walmart revisions. We would go in and change out the WHOLE department in two to three days. The whole LR district of Merchandiserโ€™s are an elite team of ladies and one gentleman who did an outstanding job in keeping up with all their own stores and help each other when their store came up for the revision. There was a couple of times that I totally had melt downs on my days off. It got so bad I lost two and half days of memory, I slept the whole time.

I have neglected to do much but, work. It had gotten so bad that I admitted myself to two ER visits that scared me. I had a bad reaction to a morphine shot which the 1st ER doctor recommended due to the severe pain I was in. The 2nd ER visit was enlightening. Mind you two different towns, two different ERs and doctors.

Iโ€™m done with doctors well at least ER onesโ€ฆ ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿฅด I know when I see my regular doctors they will have some questions for me as well as I have some for them.

I hope everyone is doing well. Iโ€™m currently looking for a new job one that isnโ€™t so hard on my body. Keep me in your prayers please I need a change. This week is Fatherโ€™s Day push and next week. I will be working 7 straight days this bodyโ€™s not used to it.
Hugzzzz and love to you all.

P.S. Thank you for the trinket and MB it was a beautiful anniversary y'all โค๏ธ๐Ÿ’โค๏ธ
