My husband and I do the snowbird thing! Keeping up with two houses can get rough. My husband and I do everything we can to make everything straight-forward. The two of us have yearly Heating, Ventilation, and A/C repair done to both houses. The two of us have a lanw guy in each location. I have hired out a ton of work love roof repair, plumbing maintenance and modern window installation. I have gotten rid of the gardens and extra work that isn’t necessary. I want it so that my husband and I can relax no matter our location, and each section has its perks… Our northern house is much bigger. I have a sizable ploy of land and everything I want is right in town. My parents are up north too. My southern house is smaller and easier to clean. I have a bike path that I can ride for a workout. I am also across the street from my boy. I recently found another perk to the southern location, recreational weed. My northern house is in a medical cannabis only state, however you need to get a special cannabis card and pay a fee. I have lots of concerns that weed could help with. I have boiling flashes due to menopause. I have concerns sleeping at night. I have arthritis in my hand. I also have seasonal depression. Medical marijuana could help with all of those. I am too lazy to get the doctor’s appointment and too cheap to purchase the card. I don’t love the method that I would have to renew it too… Finding out that my other location is recreational cannabis friendly has changed my life.
