Well, I've lived in this community for almost two years and it's just not for me: too much interfering with my lifestyle by the HOA, and too little privacy in general. I need to move back to a regular neighborhood where your neighbors ignore you unless you happen to be out in your yards at the same time. We plan to put this house up for sale in Dec. or Jan. and hope to find something else soon after.
In the meantime I'm experiencing my usual impatience at not being able to snap my fingers and, magically, it's all settled. I'm slowly deciding what I can get rid of and what I should keep. At the time of our last move to this house, I pretty much brought everything with me. Now I'm feeling slightly lost, and very much on edge. The old questions keep returning. What do I want to spend my time doing? How much room will I need? Can we find something even remotely similar to what we want and/or need? One day I want to get rid of everything and find a two-room apartment, and the next day I want a four-bedroom house. Hopefully, we'll end up with something half-way in between.
Retirement hasn't turned out the way I thought it would. It never occurred to me that I would still spend too much time doing housework, and too little time having fun. I know it's my own fault. I'm good at organizing everything but myself.
