This morning I signed the final paper to close on the condo. That part of my journey is over with. I have a friend who lives in the condos and with whom I have lunch with every month, so I will still be able to see the community. The city isn’t for me anymore. Too much traffic and people rushing about. Today after school, my Grandson and I will be going to my place for the weekend as my Daughter is working on a big project for work. In the aftermath of reducing the workforce and cutting hours at her employment, she has landed 2 huge accounts for the company and is working her butt off. She was drained by the time I got here yesterday. I took over so she could get some sleep and re-group as she was stressing out (stomach problems). She was in a much better mood this morning. I am doing some laundry, ect…so she doesn’t have to deal with that and she can concentrate on her work business. The woman at the title company was very nice and personable. She lost her Father last year to cancer and she talked to me about it and I talked to her about losing my Husband. It is good to be able to talk about it now without falling to pieces. I am looking into things for us to do in Sante Fe. They have a huge Folklore Museum and Children’s Museum that I think that we would all enjoy. There is a lot to experience there. I asked my Daughter and Grandson to come with me as we all need to just get away and de-stress and explore some place new!!! I am excited! I am going to be able to tuck away my proceeds from the sell of the condo and not touch it. If I was gambling and had that money it would be a disaster!!! I respect my money now and I realize how my Husband had to work hard for everything that he left me. Taking trips, ect…is something that I will have memories of not blowing it at a casino!!! I was pleasantly surprised yesterday when my Daughter commented on how I look like I have lost some weight. I think it is more that I have lost a few inches around my waist area. I am working hard on it and this time I feel like I have really mentally committed myself on exercising and eating right. Just another page of my journey! Sometimes it takes me awhile to get it right!!!! Have a great day everyone!!
