For the first time in a long time, I have a wonderful update. The house we’ve been looking at and thought we lost to another buyer fell back into our laps this morning. As of 5:00 PM EST, it will be a done deal and I will have a place of my own. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry but I’m excited to see something good happen and my life beginning to turn around.
This is a good move for me in many ways; I will be out of this toxic situation and be on my own. In a way, that’s a scary thought because I never thought I would be starting over at 62. It’s also exciting because I won’t have to consult with anyone about where furniture goes or what I cook, etc. Nor will I be on call 24/7 to install software, do tax returns or fix the goose’s computer that he always manages to screw up. The goose can take this job and shove it!!
Things are going to be tough and money is going to be tight, no two ways about that but I will manage. At least, these will be strictly my problems and not someone else’s.
If all goes well, I should be moved to my new home by the end of March at the latest. I won’t know how to act being able to breathe again. I’m relieved! And the goose is cooked! God only knows what he will do when he finally realizes I really am moving.

Thanks Lynn, I'm a happy camper. Just knowing this stress test will soon be over is a great relief. The house is being readied for me and some small repairs but it doesn't look like anything major. Eventually, the major stuff will come but at least for the time being, Lady will have a fenced yard even though she won't be able to meet me at the back door which is actually on the side of the house. We're going to remedy that with some 6' white vinyl gates at the front of the carport overhang and that will also offer me privacy for my Hot Tub. The master bedroom is 10x20, big enough I can actually make my bed without any help and I won't have to use flat sheets anymore. What a blessing this is and a scary but huge relief for me. Maybe Charlie will host a housewarming party for me and invite a slew of friends. Now, I'm praying the part time job comes through so I won't starve to death.

How wonderful! I know it's scary going out on your own. I did it at 43 and it's the best thing I ever did. I'm quite happy being a loner lol! No one making demands on you, or expecting you to rise to their needs!

Hey Wht, I was asked yesterday if I thought I would get lonesome eating alone. I turned around and said not hardly, I've been doing that for years. It is a scary move albeit a necessary one for many reasons. I'm actually looking forward to being in a home of my own and I'm quite comfortable in my skin and enjoy my own company. I just wish the moving part was over with and everything already in it's place. Leaving this house is going to be a massive relief.

Oh Lord! I just moved last May, what a miserable task that was. I was so glad when it was over and I was finally settled in and by myself again. I got my landlord to sign a 2 year lease just so I could be guaranteed that I wouldn't have to do it again for at least 24 months. One of my dreams for the future is getting my settlement, buying a plot of land, plopping a double wide down on it and never having to move again lol!
