Pack it Up ~ The Final Move

 Looking for Senior housing communities! It's time for the last move. I will be 60 this year. God has blessed me to surpass all the doctors expectations and make it this far. I hope to go at least another 40. 

With my brothers both suddenly passing last fall, just a few months apart, it has shaken my plans. My brother and I talked daily, 'still being here' was a goal we were grateful for every day. And now he's gone. He went somewhat fast. Just a couple weeks before Christmas he stopped the daily texts. Just before the New Year he went into the hospital and passed on the 6th of January. 

Tim's health has been a challenge and now the heart doctors are involved. More prescriptions and more appointments.... He's Birthday is coming up in February, he's not getting any younger either. 

It's time to simplify lives. I'm hoping to help him sell the house and get moved into a mobile home community closer to where his son lives. Perhaps that will help bring them 'closer' together for the next few years. His last few years. Plus it would be nice to get closer to the doctor appointments since there are so many now. 

Me - I've downsized everything I owned. Sold off things that I really didn't want to move again. Lost my storage a while back when I had to leave the RV so I've taken advantage of the spare room, to save on monthly expenses for me. 

The kids and grandkids are all getting to the place that they don't need me to watch the kids so much anymore, and I've been more busy helping Tim get transformed into retirement, and now hopefully retired living. I'm hoping my next transition gets me to a place where I get to spend more time with my horse.

Star Bright has been lingering at the gate when I'm leaving the past few days. The weather is beautiful today {For the end of January weather} I'm hoping to go out and give her a good brush out, graze on the fresh grass while I do it. She loves to roll in the mud, so she's been looking pretty scrub lately. 

I don't know yet if she's going to be moving too. It really depends on where I end up. If the distance to where she is - is within reason, she'll stay at the paradise that she's at. If not, I'll have to look for something that will work that is closer. 

One step at a time....

  • House listed for sale.
  • Everything packed to a minimal use status.
  • Deep clean and minor 'touch up' repairs, inside and out.
  • Showings - Social media ads - Sharing -Advertise!!
  • Sell house!
  • Storage and moving truck.
  • Pet Friendly hotel, while paying bills and searching for house.
  • Find house to buy, place to live
  • Close deal and start moving!
