Well done, Brandon!

@Katie McCarthy Exactly.

This is an older post, but my response is fresh. If you checked out my blog at bazmorris.com then you will see that I am about to undergo transition. Just to recap less than a year ago, I downsized from a three bedroom two bath townhome to a one bedroom one bath apartment. I really like the complex here and I love my apartment. However, not being a millionaire, I’ve never owned any property and thus I find myself on a fixed income that doesn’t afford me much wiggle room. So I am researching and committing to purchasing a used cargo van, probably a Dodge Pro, master, and then building out the interior to be a single dwelling. That only that allow me to rain in expenses like rent, utilities, etc., but it’ll also stretch the income. I do have a lot further. Plus, I haven’t seen my children who live in distant states in over five years because travel is expensive and I don’t have the budget to afford that. So I’m going to transition into a tiny van home on wheels within the next year.

I’ve always been a morning person. I get up very early if I sleep in it means I’m sleeping in until 730 or 8 AM. But as I near 70 my sleep patterns or anything but routine. For example, sometimes I have what I called doughnut nights where I’m asleep for four hours. I wake up for two and then go back to sleep for another two. But lately I’ve been going to sleep around 8:00 PM due to a medication change and then I wake up at 2 o’clock fully rested. It’s a bit frustrating because by noon I feel like I need a nap and my restless legs usually don’t allow that. But such as life. Fighting it doesn’t help so I choose to simply be with it.
