The House Sold!

For less than we wanted, but still. We now have money for things like building out my living area -- I refuse the suggestion that I would be fine with a hammock in the backyard -- and putting in a few raised beds to see if gardening gives us fresh vegetables. My thumb isn't at all green, so maybe not. I am hopeful, though.

Sis started teaching again today. I'm doing laundry, ordering food, and trying to get a general appointment with my doctor. I need referrals for an allergist, a pulmonologist, and possibly an orthopedist/rheumatologist. I do have a therapist which is good.

Happy New Year to all.

What a New Year

My uncle had two wives and two sets of kids. His youngest son (second son by second wife) just had a daughter whom I got to meet over the holidays. The older son by the second wife is getting married in early May.

Uncle only has one daughter who was born halfway between me and Sis. She had a kid in the 1980s by her first husband and has a son by her second husband at the same time her eldest was having a daughter.

Girl!Cousin's eldest son was killed in a car accident on the 101 in California just three hours ago.

I'm heartbroken for her.
