The Only Constant is Change

Some changes we choose. Other changes choose us. Still other changes are somewhere in between.
Things are changing again--at the speed of light. So, I'm back for a while, fumbling my way through a maze of fewer resources, more demands, and the desire to wrangle control from my stuff. It's about life. The stuff should support me, not the other way around.
In time, I'm sure I will be compelled to share the whys but for now I'll just share the journey.

Home Inventory Made Easy

I don't know about you but I've never really done a home inventory. This may surprise you since I've had damage from a hurricane, a fire, and a burst water pipe. Each time the damage was not fully covered because I either didn't have the proper coverage or didn't have my belongings documented properly. Uhg...

I'm hoping that there won't be a next time. If there is, I'll be better prepared.

Several months ago I picked up a digital recorder at a thrift shop. the plan is to go room by room and do a sweep of the room. Recording what's in the room and then doing close-ups on important items. In each room, I'll have to open drawers, closets, and cubbies to expose hidden treasures.

Burning a copy to disk and storing it off site or uploading it to a remote storage site could help me back up any future claims. I'm also marking my calendar to update it twice a year.

The digital recorder can also help validate the shape things are in.

Feeling Frazzled

In my zeal to get more done I've crammed more into a day than Fibber McGee squashed in a closet. I know we all do it.

In an effort to get more done and get more bang for my effort, I'm making an attempt to get an extra hour of sleep a night. There is increasing evidence that getting more sleep can ward off disease, slim our waists, and improve our memory. I could use all three.
