    A woman “of a certain age”….oh never mind…..I’m getting freakin old! Loving life, stymied by the world we’re living, and laughing all the way down the road to the end!
    I am endlessly optimistic (when I’m not being pessimistic) and way too excitable by just about everything.

    Aww Happy Belated Birthday Our Sweet Margaret. I too have been so very irritable and that’s not me. But I’ve been sick all week and my furr baby is driving me crazy. Now Margaret, this is what you e been wanting since before you retired. Change is so hard, especially at our age. Keep telling yourself, this is only temporary and before your know it, you will be in the House you designed. You better make sure it’s exactly what you’re gonna be happy with. lol🫤🤦🏼‍♀️😳🫣🥰🙈. You need to kick back, watch The Book Club. And have a good tummy laugh. We love ya. Relax, take a deep breath and be patient. You’re where you wanted to be. We are here for you.

    Dear Margaret, have I ever been in a foul mood for no apparent reason? Well, it is a beautiful summer day here, and I started my Saturday enthusiastically, but it fettered out quickly. I turned very sour, didn't finish a single task, and I don't know why. I couldn't even enjoy crocheting in front of the television which is one of my favorite things to do. It is 4:30 in the afternoon, I just had a shower and I put myself in bed with a few books and my laptop. Tomorrow is another day. Thank you for being keeping it real.

    I hear you and completely understand! I moved today from a spacious house to a lovely but oh so small condo. I had a couple melt downs today because my furniture doesn’t fit and I have more stuff than places to put them. I know it’ll all turn out fine, but yes I think it’s ok to be upset a little. I’m just trying to remind myself that I’ve gained more freedom and let go of a lot of house and yard responsibilities. We can do this Margaret!

    Moving is always hard...and leaving a place that has been your home for decades makes it even harder...keep telling yourself 'this too shall pass'...you'll figure out how to get more space from a small footprint by going 'up the wall'..haha..like you've done using your stand alone pantry cabinet.....a tiny kitchen can be very frustrating exp after having had more space, but you'll adjust b/c you're Margaret and you're a fighter, you're an overcomer..btw...can you fit a smaller trash can under your sink? We moved two years ago and that's what I did b/c there was no floor space the one I had in the kitchen...I know you know it will all work out but sometimes it helps for someone else to state the obvious b/c you know they've been there too and totally understand. Hang in there, great days are straight ahead!!

    Margaret, you are entitled to feeling low, it’s winter too and that doesn’t help either and to move from a place that was very comforting for years would do this to anyone especially to an older person. Just take baby steps and relax when you want and reflect on your progress over the years and sip on your tea as you do and things will fall into place….

    I understand exactly what you’re going through. We moved from our home of 35 years, I WANTED to move, I was excited about it. I cried the first two weeks! I couldn’t understand it either but looking back it was the change- this isn’t where I put things, where is the store, I don’t like this!! But after a few weeks things settled down and I calmed down, met some lovely neighbors and now I can’t imagine living anywhere else. It’s a process- it’s going to be ok!

Finally we did ...when things started to wear out ..needing a new kitchen and central heating boiler to name a couple Finally having had a good clear out and all the excitement of buying all new furniture etc for the new place, I felt the same as you do and realised it was sheer tiredness and the excitement that had worn me out totally,

    Harshly. You've been working relentlessly towards an end goal and you've reached it now and it's not the end goal. You may be just catching up with feelings you didn't give yourself time to process before now. Thankyou for your honesty. I think I would feel exactly the same. ButI do think in a couple of weeks you'll feel more settled and, as spring comes, and you're looking out at that lovely garden, you'll feel nore like getting out and exploring the area. I think that will make you feel more grounded. ❤❤❤

    Margaret you're human like the rest of us. Just having a moment which can last a few hours or day, it's ok. I must say in the middle of it you've smiled quite a bit. You're inspiring, really. Look at all you've accomplished!!! 👏👏👏👏. I know it feels ucky not to have everything in semi place and lack of room. You're used to a clear kitchen. This is only for a time. A step to awesome in the meantime you get to be with your precious granddaughter, your baby. Aside from the move you visited, bday celebrations, had company; yay for Debbie & Mike. Yay for your sisters & friends. You won't be the midpoint of the girls so now you'll see they're visits as being more intentional. Seems like 1 more thing to deal with on Comcast. You'll get through this also. I think in my tiny cottage as they call it I may even have less room than you in the kitchen (the rest also). It stinks but we make do. Where there's lemons we make lemon meringue pie. You're even trying to conquer the dark basement. Starting with lights is great. I know you'll come up with something else too eventually. You've come a long way Margaret ❤.
    And Happy Birthday 🎂 🤗🎊🎈🎉 be good to yourself for a whole month. Be kind to yourself. Wishing a great rest of your week, it's Friday so weekend! 💕

    Hello Margaret. Belated happy birthday! When I retired, even though I had looked forward to it, I was up and down, more sad and scared than happy. You know the “what have I done?” You not only retired, you sold a business that was your life for many years, you also moved, and it wasn’t to your new dream house. Your stress-o-meter has to be out of sight. It will work out, but it’s going to take time. Trust me, I shed a lot of tears I was so overwhelmed and today I look back and wonder what the problem was.

    @A.L.I.S.O.N 7 місяців тому +6

    All of the things you mentioned are 100% valid & totally normal. I've spent my life moving around. 2 towns I moved around multiple times within before moving away, so I can kinda get the long term comfort. I can somewhat combine the crap husband dump somewhere you thought you'd leave together from, etc. I'm in that now after 20yrs married. So many major life circumstances associated to one place. There are unconscious emotional triggers tied to you, the place, change, "things", etc. You will probably run the gamut of emotions for a time period bc your body and subconscious has to let go one at a time, or in groups of shared emotional events. It's why you are feeling this emotion so intensely but have no conscious reason why. It's many reasons that are taking the back route so you can continue moving forward in your tasks. So...don't worry that you're going to be an emotional teenage for a bit. Just take your little bits of peace, happiness, comfort to help you through it here and there. Coffee is my go to & chocolate. ☺️👌 If you take baths, awesome time for one just before bed...or shower. Maybe add something with a nice scent to it. One thing I used to do was use a heating pad on the back of my neck & shoulders which helped a lot. Yes, I had the ac on high and fan blowing nearby, lol. It will all pan out a bit at a time. You know that we love you unconditionally😁 Love that you shared this 😘♥️☕

    Hi, Margaret! You are only human and you're entitled to be a little out of sorts now and then. Particularly after your life just got turned upside down though in a good way. I think we've all experienced being cranky just "because". You're not alone there. Your little home is so charming. After my divorce, I lived in what was intended to be a temporary apartment and I ended up living there for three years due to circumstances beyond my control. It was way too small and I had cartons stacked up behind the couch, under my art table, in my bedroom (like you do). Furniture placement was creative to say the least. I stacked some of the sturdier boxes behind the recliner and turned them into a console table with a tablecloth draped over them. I had no room for a chest of drawers in the bedroom so it was placed against one wall in the kitchen. By the time I could move from there, it had become "home" to me in a strange way. The paintings I'm most proud of were painted in that cramped little apartment. Have a great weekend! See you next time!

    I can sympathize with you. I have moved twice in the last four months. Twice. I am 80 years old and did all the packing myself. But had family do the physical moving. So I have had some of your feelings and thoughts myself. It does get better as we all know, it is the meantime that is so darn hard to deal with. I have just started watching your channel and find you very interesting. Good luck with it all.

    Hi Margaret Happy Belated Birthday Wishes. It's Ok to be a bit cranky you've been pushing yourself so hard and hadn't had much time to relax or adjust yet. I'm thinking its all not up to your standards yet and it's getting the best of you. You will get there and will feel calmer as you get the ranch home set up the way you want it. It is a Huge change. Hang in there we are hanging in there for you as well. Your showing some of us what we may be in for and it's helping us to see it's not going to be easy but it can all be worth it. When one door closes another one Opens. Pat yourself on the back for all that you have accomplished in such a short amount of time. You have been on a long roller coaster ride and your at a pit stop for now. Bigger & better things are just around the corner. Enjoy all the tea & chocolates you want and take a breather. Thank you for sharing with us I enjoy your videos. Sending you a big hug from Northeast Pennsylvania 🤗💕

    Margaret, it's ok to vent. We all have bad days. Statistics show that moving is one of the top stressors that one can experience. My husband and I moved into our new home last fall. All of my belongings were in 5 different locations. (long story). Anyway, at the end of our move week, I was what I call "cry baby tired". The littlest things would set me off and I was very weepy during that week. It took weeks to adjust and transition, but now, we have pictures on the wall and I've found a place for most of my stuff. AND, I'm aware that I had a hubby to help me with the things that I couldn't do, like putting a cabinet together! Whoa. You rock. I admire your tenacity to keep going.This parenthesis time will soon pass and before long, you will have your own nest just the way you want it. In the meantime, I will pray that you will have peace under pressure. Hang in there friend. Thanks for keepin' it real. And don't worry, God's got this! (PS A belated happy birthday to you!)

    Margaret, I sold my first house in 2022. I bought that as a single parent with 3 children and raised them there. I had the same neighbors for 35 years. I bought a home just over a mile from my daughter in a nice neighborhood, but a large city. People here are busy coming and going, raising children, and doing their own thing. I'm almost 84, and use a wheelchair and/or rollator to get around so I'm unable to visit people due to lack of ability to get up steps. I have one wonderful neighbor that sends delicious meals at times. But they also have a home outside the USA and are gone for months at a time. My grandchildren moved to another city so it is just me and my daughter. My daughter is busy driving to my former home county - to help with her grandchildren. It is best I moved here where there is better medical care, and a mile from my daughter, just in case. But - home? No - it isn't where the memories are made. It is quite an adjustment for sure.

Hope l'm not coming across too preachey, but l do remember being in your predicament on more than one occasion and it isn't fun but it is all apart of the new chapter.

I want/need to sell the house of 30 years and move to flat ground/no steps, and the thought of doing it physically and mentally makes me sit down and cry so hard. I hope I can be half as happy as you are!! I’m not able to do even half of what you do physically! I’m 63. I’m also a stylist of 44 years who had to give it up, and I just miss EVERYTHING.

I have two sisters and we always enjoy getting to spend time together. Everything will all work out. Look at all you’ve accomplished! You sold your home quickly and got moved out rather quickly too. You like things to be organized but you have plenty of time to settle in. Wait until you start construction on your new apartment. We built this house back in 1973…That was almost 51 years ago and I still remember all the problems and delays we had. We were supposed to move in about two months that turned into six months. Our oldest son was a year old and we were both working. It all worked out and now we’ve been married 54 years. Where has all the time gone? We have to crawl before we walk and soon all these days of frustration will just be a memory. ❤

    Margaret, you're entitled to vent. My gosh, you've had a huge few weeks! And I think you told us you were in your old home for 45 years (give or take). Just think what a shock this is to your system. I'm convinced our brains take time to catch up with huge changes. When my husband and I downsized and moved, I felt like a zombie, but then every day got better. We moved in order to take care of our little grand daughters, and as soon as we got back on schedule and I saw those little beauties and kissed those chubby cheeks, I was back in 7th heaven. I'm staying tuned to see what a week brings you.

    Happy Birthday! I get suspicious of people who are always upbeat and happy, makes me think they are phony, because I know everybody has bad days. Why don’t you give yourself a break, and hire a professional organizer to help you? Relax and remember to breathe. 😊

    Hi M, it's called a transition. People don't often understand the complexities of transitions until they look back and can understand that there was a disruption to their rhythm.

    omg, I am going through the same exact mood changes as you. My challenge is a tiny ADU rental I moved to from a 2-bedroom home. The details of paper work and space are driving me nuts. So, hang in there Margaret...you're not alone...of course that's no consolation is it?

    Dear Margaret, you are not complaining at all, just saying what is going on with you. You have been through a very busy time and I can well understand how you feel that you can't just feel at home right now, even though you prefer to be at the transition house. Who can we talk to as women, if we can't talk to each other. I feel like I want to give you a big hug. A belated Happy Birthday to you and lots of love from Ireland x

    Happy belated birthday 🎂 🎉! That’s a chocolate cake because if you’re a chocolate lover, it’s the only kind to have! Could your mood be more about the birthday than the jumble in the house? I’m at the point I hate having a birthday. But I also don’t like moving because of the before and after messes. Give yourself a get out of jail (bad mood) free card knowing the mood will pass and just wallow in it for today. Drinking tea and eating chocolate cherry cordials is a great start! 👍
    I wasn’t going to tell you, since you first showed a bit of the house I really liked it. After seeing the yard and a full tour (without the basement), and hearing it’s on a dead end street…my heart is aching because it’s basically what I have been looking for. But it doesn’t exist in decent condition with a price in my budget where I live. By that I mean a 10-15 mile radius around the nearest town I currently live 10 miles from. What I have realized from your journey is that everyone has different hopes, dreams, expectations and tolerances. Thank goodness, otherwise we would all be robots living in identical cubes! So for the rest of your stay in that place, make the adaptions necessary to maintain your sanity and a moderately good mood and then actively ignore what you don’t like. Kind of like a horse with blinders. This too shall pass. 😉💕💕💕

    First of all, Happy Birthday! 🎉 I completely understand how you feel! You’re frustrated because your daily routine is gone. Moving into a new place is tormenting! I had to move from a 3200 square foot farmhouse into an 1100 square foot townhouse! Ugh!! I had a beautiful kitchen, now I have a galley kitchen. So, I understand how to put 10 lbs of peanuts in a 5 lb bag! May I suggest, Be careful of the money you’re spending on temporary things. Example: The cabinets your putting on that wall for storage. Will those go with you in your newly built home? Could Michael reuse them after his renovation? As I said, I know what you’re going through. But remember this is temporary for you. From experience, you’ll get used to it. You have better days coming!💕🤗

    • @MargaretbeingMargaret

    Belated happy birthday to you! It sounds like you had a lovely day with sisters and friends. You don't need me to tell you but I will! Moving is stressful. Selling a house is stressful. Dealing with phone companies is more stressful than the two put together 😂
    You'll be fine, a little down time, a good lock on the cellar😬, and you'll be right as rain again! 💪🏼😊

    Oh my goodness, Margaret, you have to be the hardest working woman I know…actually watch! Happy belated birthday to you and I hope you realize with each new year it is not only a gift but a richness of knowledge and wisdom we gain. I’m sure you already know this and truly don’t need a strange lady telling you this… Anyway, I think it’s humanistic to feel what you’re feeling. Change no matter where we are in life is always an adjustment. Allow yourself only those things that create peace in your life. I think that’s all we really want in life..right? I’m looking at 72 on the 29th…yeah I’m a leap year baby, actually 18…but I know better. However, looking at a new year full of changes too…and probably a new home. Changes…got to love them! Love the beautiful landscape peeking out the back door. Pretty! Be well and try to pace yourself and don’t forget to be kind to yourself. Visit again soon. Xo

    I second what everyone has been telling you. Even though this is what you want it's hard to leave what you had for so many years. Give yourself some time and it will all be good Remember that That flowers don't bloom without a little rain. You mentioned your coffee pot and not being able to lift the lid. I had the same issue and I bought a Kitchen Cady from amazon. It has a sliding tray and it works great. Maybe this will help. Hang in there things will settle down. Oh yes and Happy Birthday🎂
