Planning for the Move and Making Changes

As you know we're planning to move. I want to move by the end of the year but I'm afraid that isn't going to be possible with all the expenses that we have. Yesterday I increased my phone bill from $21.80 a month to $32.70 a month so that I could have 1500 anytime minutes, unlimited data, text messaging and web usage during the month. I'm on the go a lot and sometimes need to access stuff away from my computer. Now to purchase a new phone out of next years tax return provided that we get one so I can do more from my phone.

I'm thinking of making my Internet pre-paid but at the moment I can't justify the slight increase in cost for an unlimited portable connection. So far the last year found me cutting off my cable which thanks to my outdoor antenna and increased number of channels (even though they only come in sometimes) with the digital transition I don't miss it that much. Of course I have Internet to watch shows on so I'm not that deprived.

The cost of moving includes deposits, pet deposits, gas for moving our things and transferring the lights. I can get boxes for free or go ahead and find some storage containers and just move things in what there new homes will be. I have no idea where I'd like to move I just know that for the moment I'd like to be in town since it's closer to the schools and to therapy. I want to move to a different city and since the local Autism clinic has moved I think I just might. Provided we can do something about the cars.

My other half would need a new job but if we move out of town I'll have to get one outside the home too. Oh well plans are plans and they can be changed.

C is for Calm

It's been so long that I'm not sure what it is anymore but I think I'm beginning to find calm. It is the feeling that allows you to find contentment in the smallest things. It does not have to be something major, it can be something as simple as a gentle breeze. There are a number of things that have a calming effect; I look forward to being able to do them. What are they? I'll tell you in no particular order. Walking on the beach. Drinking a beer by a bonfire. Sitting in front of a fireplace. Reading a book. Spending time alone just thinking or writing just to write. Calm is a nice feeling, and one that has been missed the last few years. Slowly it is returning that is why C is for calm.

Flash in the Pan Playing Along Still

The pages were bent and ragged from years of use, covers worn out from hands rubbing over them. There were bowls everywhere, the oven was still hot. She tasted it again, something wasn’t right. It was sweet, tangy but not right. What was missing? She scanned the room again to see. Onions maybe? No, but what could it be? She hit her head on the cabinet. A pepper that was it!
