The only reason she can even consider this is the fact that I'm here in Chicago. So it's an opportunity that would not otherwise be really possible for her. So that's good. The biggest disruptor is going to be her cats. Hooboy.
The timing is good too. Our dad is a lot more mobile and self-sufficient in the summer. Well, he's self-sufficient most of the time, but in summer we don't have to worry about him deciding to shovel out the driveway or slipping on the ice. And he likes to spend a lot of time in the Wi house so again, easier for her to break away.
Now I *really* need to get some organizing and decluttering underway.
It's good to be able to help.
Brenda, your sister is lucky to have you. Best of luck to her.
Brenda, I'm currently taking a similar chance - living cheaply and in a different sort of circumstance with people who have my back in order to pursue the career that I actually want.
My vote is completely scary and completely worth it. I've always really liked your sister - tell her I'm rooting for her. For you both.
That will mean a lot to her, Trudy! Thanks for the vote of confidence.
And now I will go out and do some day drinking. It's a minor holiday of some sort around these parts...
Btw shrift I am at Fat Cat in your hood if you are around.
Leap of faith ~ma to your sister, brenda! I did something similar when I moved to New Jersey and it turned out great. You're a good sister!
Sounds cool. There really is no such thing as "security" or "getting ahead" anymore, anyway, might as well have fun with it!
That's exciting Brenda--tell her best of luck, from me!
Sister~ma, brenda. That takes a lot of bravery. It's great she's got you for a sister!
ION, I spent $900 on a new pair of glasses, yesterday. I almost wish I had cataracts, because if I could get my vision to a level where glasses didn't cost this so GD much I would be eternally grateful.
I was pretty lazy this weekend, but at least I had a good excuse in hosting tommyrot for his 50th birthday weekend. There was a lot of watching of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and fun conversation. I got to meet his sister and sister-in-law and their kids at dinner, yesterday. They are a hoot!
