Since dad's death a lot has happened. House had to put up for sale, something we knew that needed to be done. Dad has taken out a reverse mortgage some years before Mom died. House was on the market for about 5 days when we had about 15 offers for the place. Two were real good considering the age and condition of the house. One offer backed out because of wetlands concern. at this time the sale is still pending.

I have since moved out of the house and into the house of a friend's house, some 1200 miles away from where I lived for all of my life. it's surreal to be soo far away from the place i lived and loved. There were moments that i thought i should turn back to CT and find someplace there to live and forgo moving to MO. There were times that i thought it was great to move. now that i am here for a few days, jury is still out on the move.

Friend's house doesn't have a working furnace, has only hot water. my cat is not allowed into the rest of the house. I got here on Saturday and its now Tuesday, been sleeping on the couch and my cat's been in what will be my bedroom. my furniture has not arrived yet. got an email that the movers will be here tuesday. no more sleeping on that damn couch!

Whined to another friend. she said it may just take tome to get adjusted to the new place. if things don't work out with MO, then i can move to other friend's house on the Navajo rez. that friend has heat.
