05-11-22 Questionable Mail
Phew, that was a long busy day. And then I got home to check my mail and find a letter from the government. Apparently when you turn 59 they let you know your pension options. Clearly I will be working until I am 70 so no rush there…
I worry that I am letting people down. It seems I am falling behind in the check in with friends and family who are going through a lot right now. I want to be there for all of them but only have so much time and energy. I believe they know I love and care but I have been shown so much love I just want to respond in kind. It just seems like so many are having surgeries, relationship issues, illnesses and stress. I shall continue to do my best, it’s all I got.
I worry most at the moment about my poor daughter who has found out today her deep tiredness and lethargy are from long Covid. This of course means I need to be cautious who I visit and won’t be able to visit my cousin Donna recovering from surgery in hospital. I promised to make her soup when she gets home as she has done for me.
I have been asked by the coordinator at the college if I would apply to be a home stay host next fall. I decided today that I will give up my room and move to the den and see if a match can be found. The more I thought about it I realized it would be a good mortgage helper and it would be healthy for me to have a roommate for a bit, especially if it pays down debt so I can travel in the future. If anything the last two years has shown it is that I can handle anything for a duration. I am going to apply tomorrow and ask for an early interview. Once they see my space and determine it will work, I will begin the purge and sort with a plan to paint the room and mount the TV on the wall, etc. To get ready. That way if it doesn’t work out, I will have my bedroom done the way I wanted it anyway.
It is good to have something to look forward to. I already have two Airbnb bookings so far as well. I will have to get it all set up when we return from Drumheller.
