Hola all! Those of you who tend to follow me have probably noticed a rather steep drop in my productivity the last few days, and I thought a quick explanation in order to prevent rumors. After several months of chopping things to the bone, and clinging on desperately, this last week it became clear that we could no longer stay in our apartment. Knowing that they would file for eviction on the 20th of the month, we waited until Friday to talk to the property manager, not wanting to give them a heads up and an early start. We had figured that the entire process would take 10-14 days, but here in Nevada, it’s computerized. They’ll file on Monday, and no later than Thursday the sheriff will knock on the door. That left us about 4 days to pack, find storage and a new place, and move…
Fortunately, we appear to have it in hand. Our biggest worry was that there was so little time that we might not be able to find a place to live on that short of notice, and with no car, it could have gotten ugly, especially with the cats. I had already found an affordable storage place on Thursday, we found a new place to stay, and everything will be packed by midnight tonite. We have culled the herd on what we actually need to keep and what can go. We’ll accomplish the move tomorrow, and hopefully by Wednesday I’ll be hooked back up and ready to rock on the events of the day again.
Things happen for a reason, and actually we’re putting a positive spin on this...Our monthly rent is substantially lower, and will allow us to finally put some money away instead of having to scramble nonstop just to cover the basics. The real reson for this diary is because this community has been a bastian of strength and support for me, both emotional and financial. All of you helped to stretch our stay ot by another whole year, allowing us to come to grips, adapt our thoughts, and get this done in about as orderly a process as could come out of a chaotic situation like this. Teri and I want to extend another heartfelt round of thanks. We love you all, and I’ll be back sometime in the middle to late part of this week.
