Hi everyone! Thank you for all the wonderfully sweet messages, good thoughts and prayers. I have been home since the 15th although it has not been all rest. Once I returned I decided it was finally time to let go of my apartment. I have long debated "sloughing off the old" and making room for the new, always too afraid to take the plunge but I have since set the wheels in motion. Notice has been given, yard sales have been had (my first EVER!) and furniture/stuff is either being given away or chucked. Don't worry, I haven't completely lost it *hehe* In fact, I have a plan and my counselor found it to be solid and positive. Mostly, it consists of starting over, fresh and the way I always wanted too. I am not leaving the state or even the city just this apartment.
Much work has taken place in the bathroom, including the death of major mold, the shower surround being ripped out and replaced along with the valve and shower head. The bathroom is much needed cleaning after two days of repairman using saws, glue and creating dust. There is much more to say but not now, I am still working on stuff today and time is a wasting!
