*shrug*

[drjeff.livejournal.com]

Gah.

[daisydumont.livejournal.com]

well, i wish him an interesting journey, whatever he does, and hope you find ways to manage well without him.

[wuweibaby.livejournal.com]

thank you vicki

it's going to be a challenge

[ravengirl.livejournal.com]

I know things are challenging at the moment and my best thoughts are with you. I myself have just "simplified" and I find it rather serene...on occasion. I mean, I have yet to really adjust, but I can envision my frugal and simple life, and I find it a comfort. Less stuff (physical stuff and stuff like cable TV and fancy cell phones), and more love (the job I now have is full of purpose and love, neither of which pays well in non-profit cat shelter work, but I'm embracing it and seeing where I land.) I'm sayin', it's not perfect, but I plan to perfect what I have, what I have chosen and what has chosen me, and I wish the same for you.
*love*

upps......i´m sorry....it doesn´t sound as if you are happy about the changes....
i hope something good comes out of all that for you

[wuweibaby.livejournal.com]

we will have been housemates for seven years next month, which isn't likely to happen, now

it's been a comfortable situation (mostly) for the both of us, financially and agreeableness.

all things change.

it will be a challenge to hang onto my house, given the givens, but i'm going to give it my best shot.

Shell, I'm feeling you, woman. I've had to make so many changes and pare-downs to be able to stay in my house and make it month to month. I will share any/all ideas that you care to hear from going through this on my own... I know you know how to survive, I just mean like that cel phone plan thing we talked about. That has been a BIG help for me.

And if there's anything else I can do to help. You just holla.

[wuweibaby.livejournal.com]

thanks, i won't hesitate :)

[kaleidoscopeeye.livejournal.com]

*hugs*

I am in your corner. Holler if there is something I can do to help.

[wuweibaby.livejournal.com]

i will, thank you :)

[cheekyassmonkey.livejournal.com]

wow. this is pretty giant. let me know if there's anything i can do. is he joining the french foreign legion?

[wuweibaby.livejournal.com]

he bought a van yesterday, leaves his job at the end of this month, takes off for Maine December 18th or so.

he's spending a few months back there with his son, DIL, and two grand-daughters. after that? no one knows, least of all him.


thank you for the offer. i may take you up on it. <3

[cheekyassmonkey.livejournal.com]

we are willing to help with the shower, too, so you can get a roommate.

[wuweibaby.livejournal.com]

i appreciate it. gots no monies for nuttin, but if things change, well...

[siro-gravity.livejournal.com]

hi shell.
i've been laid up this week. i just decided to click everybody on my f-list to see how they are.

um. this is scary, i think.
do you own that house? can you find another room mate?

for some reason, i thought that dude had a romantic interest in you...could be my brain is playing tricks on me though.

do you have a plan?

[wuweibaby.livejournal.com]

why was you laid up, baby? everything ok?

yeah, this is definitely scary, although spin has moved his departure date to mid december, which is infinitely helpful.

yes, i own (the bank of course) the house. i'm not looking for a new roommate atm, i'ma fly solo for a while, see if i can pull it off.

that's the plan: hunker down, simplify, scale back on out-go $$.
hey, it could happen. especially if i ever go back to work. heh.


yeah, you're brain isn't playing tricks on you, he does have a romantic interest. however, i don't. i gave it a try for one day back in the summer and man i tell ya what, i knew it couldn't happen. it's just not there. we have completely different ways of approaching a relationship. not that either one is right or wrong; just different and incompatible. that said, we've been housemates for seven years. *shrug* and my heart isn't there for him in that way.

wish i didn't need a new roof and bathroom remodel. that would be helpful if i have to bail and try to sell. with the market the way it is i'm afraid i'm upside down. if i'd sold it four years ago i could have left with a slight profit and come away clean. now...

oh well.

'sup wit you?

[siro-gravity.livejournal.com]

hi woman.
one of my students gave me a cootie and i have been SO sick. and it kinda isn't letting up...it's just changing places. i know you know what i mean; everybody's had that thing where the sore throat = an ear ache + fever --> to nose --> chest...don't think it has anywhere else to go after the lungs, tho. so i'm almost done. yep.

december is helpful, but also not a lot of time, thought prolly enough if you're not looking for a new housemate. i LOVE living alone -it'll be interesting to see how you like it after having a room mate for so long.

LOL!!! --> i gave it a try for one day back in the summer... but if it isn't there, it's not there. it's not like one of those things you can go out and get a dozen of, either. do you think his leaving has anything to do with the fact that you're not interested that way?

new roof.
*dreads*
i need one, too. and i'm set to lose a class come spring. roofs are not cheap! if you could just hang on to the place, the market is bound to bounce back. i mean, even if it takes awhile, because that is how things go...round and round. i bought my house at a very good time, right after 9-11, when the market sucked. my house nearly doubled in price before it started to go down again. so i'm ok that way. and i never intended to sell, anyway. i just wanted a home and a place i knew was mine.

anyhow, i hope you like beans and rice. at least they're good for you.

eta: how's the job front for you?

[wuweibaby.livejournal.com]

no, i don't think his leaving has much to do with 'that' situation.
he's retiring, he hasn't spent a christmas with his son's family for probably thirty years, he is in a wandering frame of mind. that's why. and it's good to shake things up once in a while. it's been a good long while for each of us.

yeah, it will definitely be an adjustment living alone again.
i lived alone from '95 to '03 and never thought i could share a living space with another human again. turned out i was wrong. :)


i have this fantastic bean recipe! from dry beans to fully cooked and tender in 75 minutes! i would never have believed it if i hadn't done it myself. twice.

happy to hear all the goodstuff happening in your life, and rolling with the other stuff. <3
