[Magdalen] Life's challenges

[Marion Thompson]

Thanks, Jay and Jim.  Well, clearly I do have to lighten my load 
somewhat, but the scale of this is very big.  Jim took all his stuff 
when he left and so the problem is entirely mine.  Oh, I forgot. There's 
another large Ikea bookcase in the basement filled with my LPs.!  And, y 
es, I have a turntable.

The plan, as I see it, is to deal with Stuff as I can and then wait out 
the selling period, which could well be longer than one might wish.  A 
century house in a hamlet with no WiFi and no natural gas. You have to 
love the idea of being in this historic enclave, which at least is near 
Toronto.  Then when I am out, put the bulk of what's left in storage and 
live somewhere for 6 months while I think it out.  While I am still 
here, in my home, I can't really imagine myself somewhere else.  My 
brother's place is a nice ace up my sleeve in this moment.
