Mad me laugh, but I can relate whole heartedly. My human contact consisted of waving to the neighbor as he drove down his driveway while I was feeding the steers tonight. Some days I don't even have that much.
When I retired I owned 40 acres in Wyoming that I planned on retiring but that didn't work out. Another story and its a long one. But I still had a piece of property with the X and that didn't get settled until almost two years after I retired and almost 10 years after the divorce. Yea I know and thats another story too!! When all was settled an I sold all the properties I bought the place I have now. I decided that I was going to simplify everything. Fixed this place up to my likings (not complete but getting there) and I can't tell you how much stuff I thru away and hauled to good will and sold the rest. I don't have pictures hanging in the house, no carpet to vacuum, no curtains just shades, no junk laying around that I don't use. I pulled every piece of scrubs around the house so no trimming. Everything I do and think of doing anymore I think how much upkeep is this going to need in the future and do I really need it. I can't tell you how much better life is without all the stuff I had and things I use to have to do. My brother came and visited me this summer and I loaded him up with lots of stuff I didn't use or really had time for anymore. Next time he comes which should be next summer I'm getting a load ready for him again. Makes him happy and tickles me to death. I myself raise my own pigs, chickens and beef to eat. Have a garden in the summer. I like to fill my belly, sit on the front porch and drink coffee. I like simple with a touch of stuff and not complicated with lots of stuff. Lots less to worry about.
