Callaluna! Joy in the new exciting book of life. I would say chapter, but book is more appropriate.

Callaluna, I'm glad that it went well. Will you be moving back to ME?

I haven't been able to spend any real time on FB - while I don't have Trump voters in my feed, I do have people who have Trump voters in their feed, so I can't. I am not only angry, I know I am not that nice of a person, so.

Oh, that's true, too -- I see my anti-Trump friends engaging with Trump supporters in the comments of their posts, and it gives me raaaaaaaaaage, so I have to back away.

Wow, Callaluna! Here's hoping for smooth sailing for you.

Callaluna, that's wonderful! I'm glad that part is over!

Steph, New Boy is a painter and a comic books guy who works IT for a bank. (Unfortunately, right now, third shift, which is 10 pm to 8 am, so real-time talking is limited.) We went to the diner, and talked and watched Nosferatu, and did other very fun things, and in the morning we got breakfast and hung out and then went to see Dr. Strange and get ice cream. And do more fun things until I had to leave, since, you know, children, etc. :-)

Y'all, I do not want to work today. I want to bake cookies and watch Parks and Rec all day.

But I'm working. Dang it.

Yay, you! Glad you had a good 24 hours with him!

Let's hear it for New Boy!

I am decluttering my house. The value per Zillow has skyrocketed in the last couple months, like half again as much so we want to strike while the iron is hot. Realtor is coming by this afternoon so we can choose a price point. I want out while the neighborhood is so crazy hot. There is even some possibility of talking DH into living on a boat at this point, which would be awesome. So, cleaning, decluttering, trying to make it as presentable as possible.

Callaluna, I'm glad that it went well. Will you be moving back to ME?

Yes. We will be living with my grandmother for the time being. She is in her eighties and living alone which makes everyone nervous. And she has two spare rooms. So that is the short term plan. I've not allowed myself to make any long term plans because everything was too much up in the air. But I'll be starting over from zero. I have literally nothing. A few possessions. So I'll need a job. A car. A life. Lol But I have nothing but excitement when I think about it. I've had zero control for seven years and now my future is up to me to create!

Thank you guys for all the support!

Oh man, living on a boat sounds so wonderful. Fingers crossed for a quick sale, Laura.

So ... New Boy is coming over today while I work and make beef stew and putter. Which is happy-making. (He has a few days off, because of vacation he needed to take.) I would normally be worried about Too Much, Too Soon, but I'm too happy to be worried today, so.
