Hi Carole, I am going to California the end of this month. Taking my Mom to see her 91 year old Sister, (health is failing) her last living sibling. I am trying not to spend a lot of money as I don’t know if I am going to have to buy another condo. I would love to travel somewhere, but I need to be tight with my money right now. It was even hotter later this afternoon, it got up to 111 degrees. It’s good that you had some sleep. My Grandson is still with me, but I am taking a sleeping pill when he leaves. I will get some sleep tonight!! Take care.Seize all the good things in life
Hi Carole, I am glad the cats are getting along together and that your new TV arrived!! Sorry to hear that Kevin’s condition is getting worse. He is so young. It is really tragic for him and the family! I misunderstood about Dale buying the house. I thought he was only buying you out, not the entire house. Maybe you should get your a xray if your foot is still swollen. You may have broken some bones on the top of your foot. My Grandson had a xray of his wrist done yesterday and the doctor is leaving the cast on for 2 more weeks as it is not totally healed yet. He is missing baseball practice but will be able to play when the league starts. Having the cast on has been limiting on what he does, but he has never complained once. It is 108 here now and very humid. We can’t even go swimming because of the cast, but we did our errands and are staying inside where it is cool. Take care of yourself and get some sleep!!!Seize all the good things in life
Hi! Your new life is awesome. Be proud of yourself for leaving (which must of been very hard) and starting a new life. You sound very different now, full of positive energy! Life is too short! Take care and have a great day!!Seize all the good things in life
Hi Carole, It’s good that Ferris has a new brother. Now he has a companion. Sounds like you have been busy. I am glad that you are settling into your new place and adjusting to living alone. Much can be said for living alone, you can do what you want and only have yourself to take care of. It’s good that your gambling urges are reduced living in the city. I haven’t had any urges this week and I have been keeping myself busy. Take care and have a great day!!Seize all the good things in life
Hi Carole, I am sure that there are a lot more adventures for us. I would love to go to the Oregon coast also, one of my favorite places. I have put a stop on my plans for Europe next year till I see how this condo thing is going to work out. The lawyer emailed me the papers that he is sending to my step-daughter on the 12th of this month. We will be joint tenants in common when everything goes through the small probate court. Then I will have to buy her out if I want to remain here. I think I will know what is the right decision for me when the time comes, stay or sell. Otherwise, everything else is good. What you do in your own place is your choice. If you want another cat, get one!!Seize all the good things in life
Carole, I mentioned moving because I don’t know what is going to happen with the probate of the condo. How my step-daughter is going to react. Is she going to let me buy her out or will she want to sell the place? Also, after it goes through probate, I have to get a appraisal done and that is the amount the pay off is based on. (this part of the city, the real estate is much higher) (appraisal minus what is owed and she gets 1/2 of that). I am weighing my options as I will have to pay a lot to get this place renovated. I might be better off just buying another condo that has already been redone and has the inside laundry, more square footage, ect… that I want. Right now I can get a lot for my money in the real estate market. It will all work out. I am waiting for the guy to come about my hot water heater (I think I need a new one). I got more boxes today to help in my downsizing. So, I have been busy today. Take care, talk later!!!Seize all the good things in life
Carole, When we start standing up for ourselves and speak the truth it is a shock to people we know. I am proud of you. Being a people pleaser myself, it took the death of my Husband for me to find my voice. I won’t be pushed around anymore and when someone has said something that hurts me, I will respond. V will either accept what she said and apologize to you or she won’t. I don’t know why she is getting angry. Maybe because she was called on something and doesn’t want to take responsibility. You will have to decide what you want to do with that friendship. I feel you did the right thing regarding Danny. Nothing is going to change with you being in a new location with him. I think he is grasping at straws, trying to keep you. Would he want to go and talk to someone about working on yours and his relationship? I still mourn my relationship with my Husband, it could have been awesome. He wouldn’t seek help for his drinking and didn’t want outside help with our marriage. I went to counseling about both issues by myself. So, I worked on my part but he wouldn’t on his. I still love and miss him, but our marriage had a lot to be desired. One important thing I have learned the last 6 months, stay true to yourself. You do what is good for you not others. If you are happy, you have a different outlook on everything!! Okay, enough of my rambling!! Take care of yourself and do what is good and beneficial for you. Seize all the good things in life
Hi Cat, Congrads on 10 months gamble free! Do something nice for yourself. Indulge in a medi/pedi!!! You deserve it!!Seize all the good things in life
Hi Carole, It’s normal to feel sensitive right now. I felt very sensitive to things that were said about my Husband and his death, but now I have become stronger. Some people don’t have a filter or just don’t stop and think what effect their comments will make on someone else. Just hang in there and it will get better. My Grandson fractured his wrist at the trampoline park about 3 weeks ago. He and I had gone on a Sunday and well, it didn’t turn out real good. He is a little trooper and hasn’t complained once on wearing the cast! Hopefully, only 2 1/2 weeks left so he can return to the sports and normal playing. I am glad that your Granddaughter apologized to you. She a smart girl and knows that you would never do or say anything to hurt her. I hope that you and V can work it out. Real friendships are hard to find. Remember, you are starting a new life, like me. I am telling you, the last 6 months, I have done some real soul-searching and have found some things I like about myself and some things that I am working on. I think it is called growing. LOL!!! Never too late to be the person I want to be!! Take care!!Seize all the good things in life
