Sarah Hoyt Speaks

With Open Eyes

October 30 2023

Hi folks. Just visiting my page here, stumbled in by accident really, but why not update while I’m here.

Since selling the ranch a couple years back I’ve actually started enjoying living in town. The convenient shopping, ER five minutes away, and snug little house and definitely a plus.

i miss my ranges, the beautiful kitchen, and the freedom to wander 19 acres of my very own land. Waking up dreaming I’m still there can be kinda depressing.

I’ll admit I got totally fucked over on the deal. Gave up a little bit of paradise for nothing worthwhile.

Admitting I saw it coming and did it anyway makes it on me though, and living with the consequences of my stupidity is part for the course in life.

I actually like the house. It’s well designed to be used. The layout is efficient and the construction first rate. At ten degrees outside the furnace only cycles a few times an hour.

I miss the knotty alder cabinets and walnut floor in the old kitchen, but the layout, decent cabinets, and great appliances make cooking in the new place a joy.

My basement lair is full of cardboard boxes. I’ve, for reasons I don’t understand, leet them pile up. It’s cold down there and most of the time I enjoy the light, decor, and warmth upstairs.

Kathy doesn’t like my clutter… I’m using 6×8 feet ofmspace in the living room and one wall of the bedroom. Apparently too much to ask to be where she is… so I’m moving everything to the basement this month and setting up my music, office,and shop rooms to be usable.

She banished me to the den downstairs long ago. I’ve got musical instruments in there that need to be hung on the wall. Patches that need repair on the floor, and then nice flooring to install the brighten up the room.

Today’s schedule includes introspection, depression, and comfort eating. Accomplishing anything else will be a definite plus.

MAYBE writing updates more often will help me cope with the constant stress of being told I fucked up moving here and demands I accept another compromise to “make things better”

The real problem is that I had EXACTLY what i wanted and gave it up expecting a better life here. Hasn’t happened yet. I’m satisfied with what I’ve got and she isn’t happy with anything as far as I can tell. “Dream Job” or not this is where I followed her desires and she had better make it work.

I’ve got this terrific WP site… just not using it as I should.  Guess I’ll have to think of something interesting and just add a bit each week/day/hour…

Something Entirely Different

To paraphrase the Monty Python crew, and now for something not completely different.
I’m starting my own blog page, more or less to insure that folks who don’t follow the discussions on CIS Political forums and friends that don’t hold strong political views will feel comfortable visiting.
