To update the new abode, and pack out of the studio has been the chore for the past 6 weeks. Its been a sprint, between painting, floor layer, bathroom redux, and living in one space, while supervising the work at another...working and trying to have a semblance of normalcy...
What happened? Mom and stepfather decided to retire part time in the Philippines. Leaving me with the Porto Bello condo, one which I acquired for them back in '99, the good ole days. To maintain my "studio" rental and their one bedroom was not an option.
Have given and will continue to give away more stuff to the Goodwill and St. Vincent De Paul, left my 2 fellow warehouse tenant/friends with dividers partitions/closets (pics in earlier post when I moved in 2 years ago) and selling stuff on Craigslist. My hands are full.

Meanwhile as I started to arrange the furniture in the new home, everything is out of scale....now liquidating old stuff to go towards smallish sectional for seating, rethink dining area (most social of spaces), and reconsider the work space allocation again. Pics included.
Dealing with construction dust, finding limited storage spaces for non-priority boxes to be unpacked.... ahhh condo ownership, downsizing and moving....
I am thankful for having these challenges in our time of hardship for many.
