Forecast says “possible thunderstorms” for the whole SE of Texas, and we had overcast yesterday. Cool weather too. I expect today to be similar, and maybe tomorrow too. I’m hoping that it is dry though, since my intent is outdoor tasks.
Since I got nothing done yesterday. I woke with really severe lower back pain and stiffness. It was bad enough to make me nauseous. But it improved throughout the day to the point where I almost felt back to normal but was still moving cautiously.
Today, if I’m feeling ok, I’ll mess it all up again by moving more stuff out of my storage unit. That is my main goal. Where and how we spend this week and the holiday is still a bit fluid and up for grabs, but W and the kids will be home today and tomorrow for D1 to work her new job. IDK if I’ll head up tomorrow during the day, or wait for later. It will depend on if I can load the truck without getting wet.
I had plans for this week at the BOL, mostly involving electrical and networking in the attic, but now with less time there, and possible pain, we’ll have to just play it by ear. I really need to get stuff done up there, and it’s stuff that takes more than a day at a time.
Owning any property puts extra stress on you and your resources. Owning a remote property increases both. Owning multiple properties, and being older and beat up makes it even more difficult and painful. Something to keep in mind when looking for BOL property, or even a retirement property.
On the other hand, it’s kinda hard to complain about owning multiple properties. It’s a fortunate position to be in, and one we actively pursued. It does have challenges though, and that is simple truth.
Do what you can, where you are, with what you have. And stack.
