Well, I paid my property taxes last week. So, I guess we can
continue living in the house for another year. That’s nice. I’d hate to move.
Too much stuff. Too much work. Pretty sure my wife wouldn’t be happy at the
prospect either, especially since I just installed her new floor.
Besides, moving seems like such a hassle. It’s been a while
since I’ve done it but I remember the routine. The endless packing, loading,
unloading, carrying boxes and other items up steps, down steps, through narrow
doorways and halls is work. And smashing fingers and elbows while lifting heavy
objects isn’t exactly fun either. And the cleaning—of both houses—is a
never-ending job. Then there’s the canceling of utilities, (and setting them up
at the new place), address changes, (which involves notifying half the population
of the planet) and a whole lot of other stuff, I’ve gladly forgotten!
And invariably, something—usually a prized possession—gets
broken. Or, some important items, say birth certificates, get lost. Yes, I
speak from experience on that last one. We once lost the birth certificates for
the entire family. No worries though, the losing of a birth certificate doesn’t
automatically end one’s status as a living entity. All five of us are, in fact,
still very much alive! It did cost me almost $200 for replacement “official”
birth certificates, though.
But aside from all that, and even without such a fiasco as
losing birth certificates, moving costs money. Lots of money. So even if I
wanted to, I really can’t afford to move—I just paid my taxes! ~
