That looks like a nice place your parents are moving into! I'm going through something similar now—our son is moving back in with us until he can find a house. I've been lugging storage bins and furniture down three flights of his apartment stairs and into our house for the past few days. I'm a little afraid to see my numbers during this year's physical. We've been eating more grass-fed red meat than we ever have now. My wife just had her bloodwork done, although her triglycerides are way down (they were historically high in the past) her total cholesterol is up slightly. I expect it'll be the same for me. I'm hearing a lot about how the cholesterol thresholds set by the Heart Association are way too low to encourage more statin prescriptions but a lot of those people saying this are following the carnivore diet and they can be biased. Older vehicles can be a pain sometimes but they're the best. After a while they become like an old friend. I once kept a Saturn SL2 for about twelve years and although it was very basic I loved that car.
Thanks, it's actually my wife's parents. She has an aunt that lives in the same community. It's a lot of people their age, so I hope they will make some good connections. It's just kind of crazy how much stuff you accumulate over the years. My wife and I are pretty minimal when it comes to "stuff", but it would still be a bit of a chore to move it all. My domain in the garage is probably the worst offender.
I kind of knew this was coming with the blood work. My clothes have been getting tighter, so I knew I was going to have to have a come to Jesus moment with myself at some point. Hopefully with my increased activity in the summer and some better portion control I can get things sorted out.
I really love my truck, but I know one day I am going to have to replace it. Later rather than sooner I hope!
Oh, I must have misread that! So this must be in the Dublin area? It is crazy how much we accumulate. We did a massive purge after we sold our home in 2015 to downsize into a smaller space but now have acquired even more stuff than we had before. It's going to be a nightmare the next time we have to move but I'll try not to think about that for a while. : )
Just plain walking helps tremendously. I've been watching the seed oils, sugar, and refined carbs lately and feel so much better cutting that stuff out. My brain is much more clear too.
Our vehicles become almost like family members after a while. I hope your truck lasts for a long time to come. I plan on this Model Y I recently bought being my last vehicle. I think autonomous taxis will become so cheap and prevalent in the next few years buying another vehicle will just won't make sense anymore.
