I wish I had someone around to help me pack up and move. Of course, I can't even find a place! This darn retirement incom leaves me without enough for first and last month's rent and my shoulder and knee arthritis is so bad lately, I can barely get the boxes packed. I did start physical therapy a month ago which has improved my shoulder range of motion a little bit but I am still in a lot of pain.<br /><br />Have to do something soon, though. I'm thinking of just putting things in storage and renting a room for a few months to get a little more ready cash.RNSANEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02841873957894861725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3211916946754614168.post-81560995813788130452011-05-21T11:47:29.230-07:002011-05-21T11:47:29.230-07:00I wish them much happiness in their new home.
