I didn&#8217;t think that would ever end, but it did and now I&#8217;ve got one free night to myself before I have to plunge back into the wonderful world of working to earn money so I can level up my adulting. It&#8217;s not an exciting life, but it is my life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, I spent my time going through boxes, getting out old electronics and stuff that I haven&#8217;t used in a really long time. I grabbed my old iPhone and Apple Watch out of my desk. The batteries were dead. I thought that I might try to sell some of the old stuff lying around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But then I remembered how much I hate dealing with people about selling stuff online. I&#8217;m not too fond of the general stupidity of people on marketplaces. I powered it all up, activated a new line on my old phone, and then told myself it was okay because I needed a dedicated line for my business that I had done nothing with lately. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I do like my old iPhone though. The size is nice. It still functions just fine, but I really can&#8217;t be holding on to all these gadgets forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the short time I&#8217;ve had two phones, I have to say that I don&#8217;t know how people do it. I think my husband totes around three of them for some reason. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I also dug out all my Philips Hue stuff. Set it all up, then realised that to power it, I needed to plug in an old Apple router, connect the Hue Bridge, and then plug in a light. That&#8217;s a lot of wasted energy. About 20 minutes later, I disconnected it and threw it into a box. I guess I just couldn&#8217;t be bothered anymore. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I think about it sometimes and think I should enjoy this freedom from everything while I can. In less than a year, my husband and I are moving into a new house and to be frankly honest, it still scares me a bit because I liked the freedom of not having to work my fingers to the bone for money. I feel like I will need to be an adult and act like one finally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I guess that&#8217;s it from me for now. I think I&#8217;m just thankful to be in my own space so I can do my own thing in as few clothes as possible. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Finally, it is done, and I am back home.
