Experts say that some of the most stressful life events include moving and death. In 2015, I moved or will move (I have one more to go) three times. My much loved cat Gracie died. And lets not talk about the trauma over selling my house in Texas, selling my Mom's house, and building a new house from scratch!
My Texas home finally closed, and the money has been transferred to my new mortgage. Mom's house closed Tuesday, but there's a new North Dakota law that says that the buyer gets three days to back out of the deal, so our checks won't be mailed to us until Monday. Some of that money will go to my new mortgage, as well as paying off debt so I can afford the new mortgage payment.
We were shooting for before Christmas to move in to my new house, but that's not going to happen now. Soon after though I hope. I'm hoping this will be the last move of my life.
So two houses sold this year, one house built, and two kittens adopted (so far; another one is in foster care just waiting for me to move into my new house) that bring me great joy. I've started writing a new blog for the local online newspapers, and have been volunteering on average 4 hours a week at the animal shelter. The Wellbutrin I asked for to combat my seasonal depression is working great, and my Christmas shopping is all done.
So here's to 2016 and a new start. Things are definitely looking up for this girl!
