2 July 2023

A good friend came visiting this previous week to assist me take care of a yellow jacket nest in my yard (found by the landscaper when he was slicing the grass.) Coping with the nest was simple sufficient…wait till nightfall and pour gasoline down the opening we had recognized because the entry option to the underground nest.

He additionally took the time to sit down and take heed to me simply “diarrhea of the mouth” about life, loss, and challenges. We’re simply that kind of pals. We had been sitting out on the deck.

And there was my sizzling tub. My splurge of final summer season. Paid in full, money.

For months, it gave me a lot pleasure. I had this image in my head final summer season, a totally totally different actuality than what I’m residing now. My fiancé and I ended issues on the finish of November, all the youngsters determined to maneuver (okay, I knew that was coming however not all this summer season,) my job that was to go from contract to fulltime led to February, and so forth and so forth. Life could be very totally different than what I anticipated after I bought this splurge.

And now, in mild of all the pieces, I’ve a little bit of purchaser’s regret.

As I wander round the home within the afternoons, I see increasingly more that I don’t have any attachment too. I believe it’s time for one more main purge.

I want the cash. However I additionally need to watch out that I don’t purge issues that my children will need later…most of our furnishings is from my grandparent’s properties.

However the sizzling tub…nicely, I believe I’m able to let that go. I do know I gained’t get close to what I paid for it. I’m unsure what the resale on lower than 12 months outdated sizzling tubs is, nevertheless it’s price a shot.
