The parting in two parts and the way we are now. Oh! and the renos.....

So long.

So long since I posted.
So long to my other camera
So long to my old vacuum

Just a few so longs for the start of this post.  First the the parting in two parts.  (you can giggle now if you choose).

Part 1 (gotta love it).

So I think I mentioned this but I had to part with somethings.  It comes down to this, I have too many things.  Now not all things are bad or unnecessary.  But I had to choose, something.  I had to give way to what I really want and not just have all these other things hanging on the edges.  So in walks my good friend Kijjiji and he ask "can I help you with your stuff?"  Not wanting to be rude, I simply said "what stuff would you need to help me with?"  His reply "the stuff that you need to sell to get what you really want."

Ok enough of that cutting to the chase I sold some of my hobbies.  Yes I parted with stuff that I thought I would never part with.  Why did I do this?  Well two fold and since this is part 1 of 2 I guess it will be A and B of part 1.  So A, I can not allow myself to buy more stuff without looking at the finances.  I have money tied up in things that are not getting used.  B I wanted something that I know I will use.  So what does a person do.  I can not create debt, I can not spend that money I don't have.  So I went to work on selling things.  It was tough I sold my glass beading stuff, not an easy choice but got good money out of it.  I sold my camera, yes you heard right my camera.  I also sold some unused fishing stuff.  So there I parted with stuff.  Now I have cash.

So what then you say?  I now have my new camera.  It is so wonderful, the images are great.  But I also needed a lens, so for now I have only 2 lenses but I figure it is an opportunity to use the lenses I have and enjoy them both.  Trust me I am happy.

I will move past the much anticipated part 2.  It will come later.

The renos.......

Yep totally stalled this past week.  nothing.   I think it is burn out.  We did manage to get the bathroom finished up and we are really down to the finishing work.  Plus on the up side the kitchen designer is here next week very interested in what she can offer us.

So in the big picture we are simply enjoying some time off the renos.  We will start up again this week. But it was nice to just not work on stuff!

So we come that other part, part 2 of the parting.  We are now 2 weeks away from Sinclaire heading out to school and Lyndon starting high school.  Big changes and lots of things that will change as people grow up and need less of Mom and Dad.  I am proud to see my children grow up and take on their own challenges.  It is after what we strive for as parents, to teach our children to become people and adults.  So in part 2 it is a parting of a sort.  Not that we are ever that far it is just that we are apart.  I will miss the energy and the humour that Sinclaire brings.  I feel worse for Lyndon as he is left to deal with his parents......

Ah the fun we will have.

Well take care and make sure you live life it is worth it.
