Goodbye
House
June 21, 2013
To say that a lot has transpired in the last five
months would be an understatement. Where do I even begin?
I have been busy since last fall preparing the house to
be sold; I have been packing up my stuff slowly since then and have been
getting it all ready when the house sells. It is amazing how much stuff I have
been able to get rid of while I pack. I feel like I am working towards a clean
slate as I continue to fix things that need to be fixed in the house. Sadly,
this is a task that I have had to take on alone, the Ex Mr. is nowhere to be
found and despite our amicable break-up, I am soooooooooo over the notion of us
ever
being friends.
Not only have I been tasked with packing mine and his
sh*t up, I am also in the process of taking care of my mom (which has taken a
turn for the worse) and working full time. I swear I do not know how I am even
functioning, I am being pulled from every angle and it is starting to take its
toll.
Needless to say, in all of this mess and chaos…I was
able to sell the house. Turns out, not only did I stage, de-clutter and fix
everything in the house to sell it. I was also taking care of my ailing mother,
working full time and trying to have a life at the same time. Who needs a
man?!?! (That last statement was aimed towards my Ex)
Now that I have sold the house and need to be out of
here by the end of August, I am a little sad. This house was suppose to be my
‘forever’ house. It was my labour of love and I bought it at a time when I
thought that to be true.
Sadly, here I sit…happy that I sold the house because
it will be the last thing that binds me to the Ex. Also sad as this represented
a completely different lifestyle that I thought I would be living. I guess
sometimes, happily ever after just is not always in the cards.
This house was good to me and I do have some good
memories here. I will always think of this as my labour of love home and will
cherish it forever. Therefore, goodbye house and I hope you will be as good to
the new owners as you were to me.
So much for the 'We Found It' blog post. http://lifeafter30withtan.blogspot.com/2008/08/we-found-it.html
