Hello World....
With all of the craziness going on, I just want to get to the "other side of through". I'm 90% sure that I have a new place to live. It's a lot of money going out with the move and then my car but I think I'm almost to the other side of this...I can feel it happening.
I'll just thank the ancestors right now and continue working/packing.
Peace and love...love and peace...I'm out!
Hello World!
Who knew that the next time I would journal would be a whole year later! Wow! I've had aLOT going on in 2022. The job is ok, I will say that. On a personal level:
My health is still "ok". No more reproductive issues, the procedure that I had in January took care of that. I am in menopause tho and that's not fun at all. Especially trying to sleep at night and sometimes when moving around during the day. I do still have the hyperthyroid issue, it's making my hair thin out.....like REALLY thin out. It's crazy when I look back at pictures to see who much it's currently thinned out. Presently, I wear more wigs to cover versus any braids or pony tail/puff ball attachments. I have used several hair growth products and at first they seemed to be working but I don't think so. There is this one process that I had looked into that measure the hormones or something. I stopped the process but I'd like to look into it again. It may open up some doors.
Secondly, our townhome building got sold and the new owner originally said he wouldn't do anything for the year, then November 2022 he gave all of the residents a notice to vacate. All of us had been here for YEARS so giving us 60 days to 1. pack all of our belongings 2. Find somewhere to live. That's not a fair thing to do. Now he did say that he would give us the month of January if needed, we'd have to pay rent BUT we'd have that extra time. So I said to myself "self, we are going to buy a house." here's the kicker, I was planning to buy one later, like start June 2023 but it got pushed up waaay early. So I'd already contacted my realtor friend who has a brokerage and she immediately put me in contact with her team. So I contacted her once we got the notice to vacate and we started into action. My credit score was NOT where I wanted it to be to handle THIS, so I had to do some quick tricks to get it to a certain point. I ended up going through this lease to own program. I'd heard about them but hadn't REALLY looked into it. I teamed up with my realtor team and we looked for houses. Mostly doing online searches and picking the ones that fit my budget and the qualifications of the program. I finally found one and just recently put an offer in and TODAY 1.4.23 it was accepted. Now the next steps are for the company (Divvy Homes) to do all of their due diligence and with every box checked, I will close on 1.20.23. It will be a move to a different county, a little further south but not too far from the office AND it's about the same distance to the airport, maybe 5 minutes more.
I am excited! I will be a first time home owner! At 50....a 1st time home buyer. To be honest, I didn't WANT to buy a house until now. This time around because of the way that this building got bought I said that I NEVER want to be put into this situation again where I was at the mercy of another individual to tell me to get out. So I said this time, I'm buying....and I am.
I celebrate in advance! I thank the Universe in advance! I'd already reached out to my interior design friends to be on the lookout for me. Lord, now I have to order more curtains. Geesh! I'm going to wait until we get closer to closing to make any major moves. Thank you Jesus!
I'll actually come back and do an update. Lemme get my housewarming list together on Amazon. :-D
that is it for now...
Thank you for reading.
