Done Since 2023-11-12
So... as of Wednesday, when the sale closed, I am no longer a homeowner, for the first time in almost half a century. So here I am, sitting in a house that is no longer mine, wondering what the hell I am now. ("Cancer patient" comes to mind -- I spent a large fraction of my time this week reading various relevant websites, not to mention other rabbit-holes.)
Now I have to change a lot of mailing addresses. (Already in progress, but more keep coming out of the woodwork.)
And now I have other things to worry about. Like whether R will ever get himself a job, and to what extent my (so-far undetermined) treatments will interfere with our moving plans.
