Well…today actually wasn’t that bad. Yes, A was sick-ish. And, yes…my first day back in over a week was hard. But, all in all, there was no major issue that needed handling, and it was relatively peaceful.
Until I got home. Where I learned that we have been given 60 days to find a new place to live. Yup. 60 days.
Why? You may ask. Well…the owner of our home (who, for the record has been really absent) has decided to give this place to her son. Yeah, I get it…times are hard. Families are being displaced. And now, so are we. Displaced. We’ve made this house our home for the last two and half years. We’ve put our own money, our own time, and our own effort in to it. We planned on staying a while longer. Until today.
Now, we have to pinch hit. Again. And Jess’s first reaction is that we will not be okay, and that the dog is the issue. Yes, it’s going to be hard. As hell. And yes, Einstein is certainly a consideration we need to make.
Right now, I am so stressed that I cannot eat. Now I know why we didn’t get pregnant. And here I was thinking somehow I’d done something wrong.
I honestly do not know what to do. I’m scared. I know somehow we will end up okay, and all together.
Housing is ridiculous where we live right now. It’s outrageous and ridiculous.
It’s too much for way too little.
Yet, here…we can get married. And, here, we have diversity, sunshine…and the Governator. Oh yes…I went there. A little levity.
I need to live on the West Coast. I’d love to live on the East, but honestly…I’m not cut out for that. Last time I was in Boston I took a one hour detour because I was trying to get “home” (back to the hotel) and I knew Boston was by the water, so I went West. Yes…I did.
I’m also “very Californian”. I say “Dood” a lot. And, haven’t ever lived in humidity or any place where the beach was more than an hour away.
On that note, FL is way too conservative for our two mommy, plus daddy family. Hurricanes scare me. Earthquakes do not.
Hell.
Bloody hell.
I get it though…this will be a catalyst. This will change us, and make a difference in our lives. It will be all good. Somehow. Someway.
There will be some peace. And we will have central heating. We will have a great rental. And, we will be happy. Together.
