And with that intro, Corin, I think I'll make this a bit more formal, just so y'all can keep a fire lit under me...
It's a new year, and with the new year, I think it's time I finally stop dilly-dallying and complaining about how my current life, job and location aren't working and actually get going. I've done a lot of talking over the past few days to friends both here and in the "real world", and they agree. To that end, I'm going to start actually putting a real plan into effect.
I want to clean up the house, sell it (as is, without redoing wallpaper or anything because I just don't have the cash to do so - hopefully I can get a decent price even so), relocate to Colorado, and find a new job. I'm going to want to give up about every other day, and that's where you folks come in. Slap me if I start saying it isn't possible, OK? ;-) And I can use all the prayer I can get.
I'm also for a certainty going to have to get rid of some things I'd rather not get rid of - my guitar, for one. It's likely a small price to pay in the long run, but I'm going to take flak for it and it's going to be rough. And I hate change and adventure. It won't be easy. I'll try not to drive everyone up the wall...
This ends today's breaking Rosie news...
Great news Rosie. You know I'll be here to nag you. ;-)
The only part I couldn't figger out fer ya was the critters. Jen'll just have to get a bigger apartment.
And, I don't get the selling of the guitar. Wouldn't you plan on driving out? Seems like it would fit in Vansama.
Just a thought.
More important is that you know what you want to do. And that you're committed to doing it.
You have my axe.
You have my bow, such as it is. I'm very good at nagging, though. The hardest part about these big changes is overcoming the inertia of our comfort zone and just doing it.
I was in your shoes right out of college. Packed up, moved across country, took a big new job. It was vey scary. And I'm glad I did it. Have had a lot of wonderful life experiences as a result.
Rosie.... just checking up and I am excited that you are going to make it a go. Super. Good luck getting ready, and stay strong against those who might say it can't be done. I hope you get some help and not hinderance getting the house ready.
People pick up and move all the time, remember that. :~D
Way to go Rosie. I've always found that the hardest part is making the decision to undertake a major life change, and that is behind you now. ;~)
You have all the advice, encouragement, and prayers that I can offer. We're here for ya.
muh pleasure...
And I can use all the prayer I can get.
yuh got'em...
life's an adventure Rosie... if'n yuh need anythin' else, let us know...
