The big physical move was mid April. DH has been going back every weekend to move more stuff, prep home aka 'Ranch' for sale, We did end up moving his mom to a facility here in Reno...Atria....late April. Put her homes up for sale...she has/had 3. So, DH had to oversee the prep and moves for her homes. Let's see...he has been one busy and stressed out fellow. BUT as of today, 2 of her homes have sold. 1 s/b on market this week...and ours should go on market mid June.
Home #1, pending
Home #2, sold
Home #3, not quite listed (old Zillow)
This has been a rough time for DH, so busy and stressful. He has been managing everything for his mom since her stroke...about 2 years ago? or was it only 1? With the home sales and her at Atria, he will be down to one check...instead of having to use 3 accounts to manage the bills of 3 homes.
He is out there this week...to finish the last bit of our home...all is moved except the tractor and the horse. The horse is 'staying' with a good friend. We will need to wait till our home sells...as we are double mortgage right now...to build her barn and bring her here. Praying for a quick sell, that someone is looking for country, horse property. Did I mention they 'beiged' my house? Yeah, I knew even as I was choosing my colors that they would. Just cuz I like a different color in every room, doesn't mean everybody does. They 'beiged' my family room, kitchen and nook and the scraproom (in law quarters)...such a pale beautiful blue and they 'beiged' it. siiiiigh.
Am I enjoying the life of unemployment and having my own time? Not sure...The scraproom is finished out here...
scraproom tour part 1
scraproom tour part 2
these are on facebook, so not sure if the links will work.
So, I have my scraproom and can create...and have been. The first few weeks were spent unpacking and sorting the whole house....I'll post pics another time. It has been fun, crazy,... all the above. And I do think I lost a bit of weight from the physical work . BUT did 3 days in Texas with Adriana over the holiday weekend...and think I gained it all back. (what can I say, the food is so good out there)
I'm settling into a routine, We have visited a church...that we like. …. found some good restarants...most important a good (excellent) Mexican food one...but not at 'enjoying' yet.
Just miss my friends and life I had...yes, it was busy, the nanny job was from 7:30 in the morning to 5 pm in the evening... and with the boys starting potty training the last month was messy...but I miss them all so much. Thank goodness for FaceTime. I have had the chance to see Livermore grands a couple of times, they came up here my and ddil's b-day weekend...and I stayed with them before/after the Texas trip..but it is not enough.
I do have days where I don't change from my pj's. (today will probably be one). I can do more household things...I can start to cook (been years, honestly) ...read more...craft more. Binge watch tv shows...can we just talk about Turn??!!! Is Abe the worst spy ever??? Brave but ...tsk tsk. Luckily surrounded by smart, brave, loyal people. But that series ending had me in ugly tears.
Okay, enough, catch up. and links...ha!
