Back to Life, Back to the Thriftiness, Back to the Here and Now


My new year got off to a bit of a slow start this year. Over the holiday my back ached so badly that no amount of pain medicine or heating pads seemed to appease the pain, and after about three days of work, my back hurt so bad I was unable to walk or sit for more than a few minutes without incredible spasms in the right side of my body. No fun! Come to find out that my right hip decides it just wants to go out of alignment every now and again for no explanation at all. What's a girl to do? 

Well, I did a lot of sleeping, and a lot of list making, just getting ready for the day that I could race out of the starting gate again, and get back to life, and more specifically thrifting. I had plans to get my Etsy store packed solid of all the items I have been collecting throughout my life with the intention of selling, and the disability put a severe cramp in my ability to do that. I could imagine while laying on the couch where everything was in my vast studio of boxes and bags, and started to at least map out where I wanted to start first. I am happy to say that I have begun to make considerable progress, and feel that I've made a small gain on where I planned to be. So here I am back again! I'm ready to start the thrifty new year right. Here are some of the few items I've already added to my store. There's more to come and I couldn't be more excited about it! I plan on rewarding my last six visits to the Physical Therapist with a trip to the thrift store right afterward. I'll promise to keep you all updated on the progress from here on out!
