HOME SWEET HOME!

Thought I should at least update once a month when I get time.. I truly miss my blogging time a lot. Journaling time has been cut too and that is just not good for me
as I tend to forget a whole lot these days with so much going on.  Here is the picture of the house we used to own. NOW that I don't LIVE there any more I can finally show you it and all it's glory.  Three floors including the basement! Sixty years of STUFF! 
It is finally empty! Took a lot of time to do and lots of sweat and black and blue spots to prove it. Looks a lot better from a distance but I assure you up close you would see
all it's problems. To the side is a large double driveway in dire need of sealcoating and a two car garage. YES, it was full of STUFF too. NO, I didn't call it junk, because it had some very useful things in it.  Imagine trying to get all that stuff into a small house or apt.. no way!! So many sales and donating had to occur to help out. Don't ask me where things are right now.. I have NO IDEA.. put all urgent stuff in a shoe box and pray I don't lose it. 
I find myself very tired these days and want to sleep a lot. WONDER WHY??? I think it will take weeks to be able to walk through my small apt and not stumble upon some thing that is in my path. This too shall pass, they say, and sometime soon I will feel settled in a new place.. can't come fast enough for me!!

I know how you feel. I'm going back over to my mom's house to work on stuff again today. Most of the stuff is gone due to the estate sale and donating. Still have an organ and swing set to try and get rid of. This job never seems to end. Getting a new roof and paint done soon. More bushes to trim first though. I hope you have a nice weekend!

Sis, it makes me very sad to read this. I had similar feelings when I moved here. Things will get better for you, I am sure of that.

Your house was very nice looking.

HUGS!!!

You've been through so much. Hopefully you'll soon be in a new routine with a new job to go with your new apt.

Happy Housewarming! I sure wish that I lived closer to you, I'm not very good at unpacking... but I could certainly throw you quite the housewarming party. Slowly and surely, you will settle in and may joy and contentment move in with you.
BTW - what nice photos of your former home. Fond memories no doubt.

I'm sorry to hear that you have not been feeling up to par. My thoughts are with you... some pretty darn good thoughts too. *wink wink* Just know... that you have the support of all us.

All my thoughts were written by our friends above my comment. You now must look toward a new adventure I am told. I had to do that a few times and each time things did become better. Stay on the sunny side and we'll be here for you always. Hugs

We've missed you here too, but knew you were busy. It's a daunting feeling change. Sad and hard to feel like keeping going even though we know we must. Hope you feel better soon. Big Hug.
