(((El)) I know it will be tough to leave, but just think of the exciting new times ahead. Does this mean you sold your property or had you just set a date to move? Glad you got some rain...
Morandir... hope your day gets better...
Pretty much the same here they are saying 80's next week..that would be nice. There is also some chance for rain over the weekend. Can't do much about it so I just try to hide out in the ac as much as possible.

Eleanor, awww, it'll be ok. Your "walls" may change, but we'll still be here and so will all the important people in your life.

Morandir, you smiling or are we still having a craptastic day? (Gawd I love that word!)

[keyzygirl]

Eleanor are you okay? Try to see the positive side of this.Its like a whole new adventure for you.

[BHam]

El we're all here for ya. Change like that is hard. It happen to someone here at work but we all came together as a family to support them. Just know you got us.

Morandir don't let the craptasticness get to ya. Head out to the casino tonight and just go wild man. Let loose.

Have a set moving date. House not sold yet.

I know that intellectually, but I appreciate your support. Ironically, I'm moving to the same small city where some of the most important people in my life already live. But I have to get over what I'm leaving behind before I can appreciate that.

Yes and no. It's silly to be so attached to "stuff" -- i.e., my beautiful house. But crown molding and hardwood floors comfort me! Even worse (far worse, actually) are all the people I will be losing, never to see again: my best friends, their parents, their kids, our whole "circle" of friends, my dear priests, the people at the parishes I attend, my fantastic and dear neighbors, my housekeeper, my doctors, my deli guys, my butcher, my baker, my candlestick maker . . . and so it goes. There are a whole LOT of holes in my heart that will need to be filled up again.

On the bright side, I'll see my brother and a sister and their families every WEEK at least, and once I get my own place, I'll finally be able to get another CAT!

[Morandir835]

Lady Eleanor at least you can have a cat again...

[Iowa Gal]

El I've never moved out of the town I grew up in..but can sort of relate in regards to work. When I quit to to join hubby at the shop I left many friends to work with the same 4 guys every day. Work is work... a home is a home..it's the people we miss.

[EleanorR]

Amen, brother!

Sounds pathetic, I know, but that "carrot" dangling at the end of the stick has been the No. 1 motivator for me to get everything accomplished for this move! Otherwise, I'm pretty sure I would've just given up by now and pulled the covers over my head . . .

Try USA Blackjack or USA Bandit Berry.

Also looking for a new flavor as an all day vape. I'm burnt out on blueberry. Throw me some suggestions guys.

Any of the "B" flavors are good. Beach Bum, Banana Breeze, Blackjack, Bandit Berry, Black Licorice
I have a love for the Breeze

Oh Eleanor





Moving is a huge event in one's life, whatever the reason. And yes, the saying goodbye to everyone & everything can be heart-breaking. As you said, there will be holes in your heart - but filling them up with the new will be rewarding long-term.
It's a brave thing to do, especially if you're not a gypsy like I have been, moving every couple of years on average. (been here 10 years though).

Maybe you could have more than one cat .... less holes for immediate filling? Just a thought.

And as SAG said, we're still here for you
