Here it is October and I have neglected to post my progress.
We now live in Texas. We are close to getting the basic layout of our new house fixed. How did this happen. Even I don’t know.
Selling the house was a nightmare- I suppose it always is. We got a good price but feel jerked around by real estate agents. Nothing about the process felt good. The buyers were jerks. Their agent was *****. There was no satisfaction at any step. Still on July 2, I put myself on a plane from Sacramento to Long Beach where my son picked me up to drive to Texas. The road trip was my reward for the hell of selling our house, packing and shipping our household and cars and after two days on the road we met up with my wife in San Antonio.
Texas is not home yet. It is beautiful and welcoming. But the future is still creating itself while I try to contribute.
