Day 40 of Tiny Living! (Temporary Tiny Place for Two!)

-

It's day 40 of living in what I've titled the Temporary Tiny Place for Two!

The Temporary Tiny Place for Two is a CONDO on the second floor of a building built in the same year I was born (1963). 

First and foremost, I've decided this place is temporary because the one thing I've learned in this my one life is any and most everything is temporary, so I'm dealing with this issue of permanence, right out front.

Secondly, I've deemed this place as temporary, because it's a condo on the second floor of a building and dealing with groceries and such on stairs at 59 is not only not practical, but potentially dangerous to one who is so, gracious like myself. 

So, I moved into the Tiny Place on November 29th, after working all day, the Mister and me dragged most of my personal possessions up the steps to unit # 23. And then, after Christmas on Tuesday, December 28th, most of my other possessions were moved by me, the Mister, my son and my brother-in-law, from Franklin. 

Y'all stairs are super hard on this almost sixty year old body!

It's day 40 of living in what I've titled the Temporary Tiny Place for Two! The Mister is not yet living here, with me full time as he still has much work to do in regards to cleaning up his firewood lot in Franklin. 

I was  called suddenly from Franklin, by my niece, to work a temporary job on the night of October 13, 2021. The Mister drove me to the Boro on October 14, 2021 and I started working that very day! Commuting was not an option as I currently do not own a car and using the Mister's work truck was not an option either, as it uses a lot of fuel.  

As of this writing, the Mister has been here for over a week this month, and living in a super tiny space on the second floor of a building, with your husband who smokes is a great challenged. We've yet to purchase any furnishings, but the blow up mattress, two folding chairs and a folding table have added greatly to the daily comfort and convience of Tiny Place Living.

It's day 40 of living in what I've titled the Temporary Tiny Place for Two and I've made another earth shattering decision! Although, my initial design rendering is still, somewhat on point, I've decided to design the living portion of this space like a boxing ring with four corners. I've decided to create four zones for four activities, in this the boxing ring portion of the space. The four activities are listed below.

  1. Sitting
  2. Sleeping
  3. Working 
  4. Hospitality
So, the boxing ring will be devided into four quadrants! 




I'm really excited about implementing this new Tiny Living, design plan and I have already started with the walls!

We are CELEBRATING 150 YEARS of READING & WRITING for the entire month of July (2020) 31 Black Women Breaking Man's Laws For Living Life And Legacy

We are CELEBRATING 150 YEARS of READING & WRITING for the entire month of July! Part of our celebration includes the sharing of 31 Black Women Writers for 31 Days of July! And, please, please be not surprised when you find me closing out the pack and the month, as not only a writer but a publisher, a photographer and a production artist extraordinaire for the cause of Christ Jesus. This is how we do it!  I did some research and it seams to me, it's been somewhat legal for black folks to read and or write for right at one hundred and fifty years or at least since 1870! Praise be to God, Anti-literacy laws are no longer  prevalent here in the land of plenty! Also, please know and understand many white people sacrificed much in opposition to the law of the day, to teach black people to read and write.  And finally, please know and understand, it's a one-sided thing to read the thoughts and  ideas of others, while it's a whole other animal to form thoughts, ideas an...

I adopted my One Word 365 for the year 2024!

  The other day, I adopted my one word for the year. This is a practice I have participated in since 2009. Sadly, most years I selected one word which pertained to something I wanted to accomplish. And, there was even a year, I selected one word of the name of a person I wanted my year to focus on. But, this year I am intentionally turning my focus to who I currently am in Christ Jesus! Since returning to the city of Murfreesboro on 15 October of 2021, I have come to understand and realize the nature of my departure (Covid Times) and the true nature of my return. Since, I was working at Screen Art, I though working there was the reason for my return, until I found myself surprisingly not fired, but replaced without reason, on January 6th of 2023. This replacement without reason, exactly a month from the date of my sister's surgery, all but destroyed our finances, as we had also just moved into a larger condo. But, the Lord was with us and thankfully we were moved by the spirit to p...

These Days: I'm learning: How to Design a Screen Printed T-Shirt in Adobe Illustrator ! And it's so much more than this! As the language is different. I learned the basics of Adobe Illustrator while a student at Nashville State, twenty years ago. Then I used those basic skills, while working in the newspaper industry. Then, back in 2008, I started blogging. Well, here we are.  The first thing I need to get a handle on is all of the basic positions a design can be placed on a shirt! Y'all, I had no idea, there were so many!
