This Week

So now you all know that we finally sold our home. And that we sold our home by ourselves once we got rid of the agent we’d been with for months. I tell you, it was quite an experience. We’re happy it’s all over. And busy packing. Also, purging. Because no matter how much I don’t like moving, it’s a wonderful opportunity to get rid of stuff.

The new owners are taking possession at the end of February. We’re excited about the sale of our home but not about moving this time of year. It’s hard to predict what kind of weather we’re going to have around that time. But I won’t moan and groan. We are hardy Canadians and we’ve dealt with our fair share of tough winters. When we start moving, we’ll deal with whatever is going on at the time. (If I say this enough times, I’ll start to believe it.)

Some of you have inquired about whether we have another place in mind. As of right now we are homeless. We’re packing up our stuff but we have nowhere to take it. This isn’t the best time of year to be looking for a house. Spring would be better. We’d like to find a small home but if we don’t, we’ll rent a place and park ourselves there short term while we continue to search. It’s anyone’s guess how this will play out. We’ll take it one day at a time. (By the way, do you have a spare couch we can crash on?)

We have another big change coming up that I will write about at another time; hopefully early next week. One that I am so excited about I could burst. Do I enjoy keeping you in suspense? Maybe just a little. But also, this news needs a post of its own, so it has to wait.

In the meantime, I wish you all a beautiful weekend. And I thank you again for all your support, kind words, encouragement...and for being so awesome! You all rock.
