For Sale

I put my house on the market. I really don't know where I will go if I sell it, I've been looking on the web for houses but right now it is really moot because I'm not sure what I will be able to afford....I was told to go see someone to get approved for a loan but I still haven't seen this person yet Maybe this coming Monday...Maybe I will qualify for a loan geared to people on low incomes. Maybe I will move in with my Mom for a while, I don't know...I really don't want to because I'd rather not have to move twice...I've been here for 20 years....now you understand why I don't want to move 2 times.
Dad is turning 90 on the first of August...I think that is great...He still does so much for his age...I just hope when I am that old I can get around like he does...He doesn't visit too often because of the stairs to get into the house...so I'm looking for something that is easier to get into...I don't even like the stairs to get into the house. Wish me luck in finding a house to call my home...Oh yeah I want a smaller house but I want enough room for people to move back home to if they need to...I desperatly need to have a yard sale too....

Closing one Door to Open Another

Today was my last day at my job...In some ways I feel like I am leaving a disfunctional family because the company that I just left was referred to as a "family". I have learned a lot there about how businesses work and a lot of other different things. One thing for sure I don't think that I would be taking a different job if I hadn't worked there..The people are the greatest. My co-workers have made me feel that I am worth something. And I felt that I was liked over there. Today was a wonderful example: they got together and gave me flowers and a cake and 2 of them got together and gave me their own goodbye gift. Maybe working for the company isn't the greatest but the co-workers more than make up for the quirky way that management runs the place. Sometimes I felt that it would be great if they would just bend...
I know that everything that has happened in my life in the past 2 years has made me grow as a person and I would never have had the guts to change jobs like this before. Sometimes I feel like a stronger person but then sometimes I don't. It's kinda scarry to start all over in something new but I have to try. I think if I would have stayed there I would have been miserable. I was finding that after I payed the bills, I had nothing left. Hopefully in this new job, it won't be that way.
Next, I am considering downsizing as far as the house goes...Why do I need 3 bedrooms,3 TV's, a futon, a loving seat and two recliners downstairs?
