Catch Ups!

 10/ 20/24

Well!  So much has changed in the past month that I found it tough to keep up with. I kept getting emails about how my life was going to change for the better. “yeah” I thought to myself…. “ heard that so many times before “ I don't think about it much, but they kept showing up. Oh well…

 I had been told to move out by the woman I rented the room from. I'd been looking for a good while so it was not a surprise. The trouble was that I couldn't find a place to rent. If it was in my price range, it was a dump. If I liked a place, it was way out the my range. Sighhhhh….

 I was desperate. So I  took a chance and made a post on my Facebook page. There's not much, but I got the expected replies from folks. I checked back later and there was a private response from a pal I knew online and a horsewoman too. I had to be moved out on a Monday and this happened the Saturday before. She said that she didn't know that I was looking for a house.… that they had an empty farmhouse. I sat there stunned. It sounded like a dream coming true.  A farmhouse…on a horse farm! I sat there in tears, it was so hard to believe. Could this really be happening to Me? Nothing good ever happened to me. Not in many years. I called her and made plans to go see the house on Sunday… It was a bit of a drive from where I worked but if it was great,  I decided that I could figure it out. 

It was lovely. Two floors and there is a clear area that can be a craft place upstairs. I fell in love with it. Horses that would not run me over and I could see them from the windows.Big kitchen and country dining area.

                     The area I think that will be a great area for beadwork.

 Needless to say, I said Yes!  There were one and a half days left. I packed and loaded the Escape and drove the miles to the farmhouse four times. 

Needless to say, I was exhausted, but I was out of that house. Just one more carload and I got those things the next day. Luckily she had dumped the rest of my things on the porch. I didn't have to go up those steps 😁. Finally, it was done. On my first night, I didn't get much sleep. The old leather couch that I had to sleep on was not the most comfy. I got used to it though.

It's been a couple of weeks now and  I love this place more every day. It's become a way to leave the world behind for a while. 

Not a new man for long..🤔

Turns out the guy was boring as can be. No, thank you. I just stopped replying or answering the calls. I am not going to play second fiddle to a bunch of records. Such is life, I suppose.

 I had a reply to a dating site that I have decided to not continue. It's a waste of money that I don't have to spare. In the meantime, the man who responded seems very nice… stay tuned.

Autumn is here and I am enjoying it immensely. It's the best time of the year what with the great holidays and winter coming.😊  I used to love to decorate but ever since I was married to a man whose mission was to destroy me, I had stopped. I decorated for Christmas when I lived in the little apartment. But ever since, I just didn't feel Christmas or Yule in me.  That spirit is hard to find anymore.
