Eight month later. My life is completely changed.
Sold my house. Moved 1000 miles. New job. Traveling a lot. New apartment in a cool, new downtown building.
A few years I joked with a friend: I want to reduce my life to four boxes. Wow, I'm a heck of a lot closer to that now. I emptied my house where I'd lived for twenty years. Now I'm in a 750 sf one bedroom apartment. I'll move in March. I haven't bought anything other than food.....I don't want to move it. I'm cautiously looking at houses. I think 1500 sf is plenty. Not a single family house. I don't want to cut the grass or do yard work. I'm looking at condos and townhouses.
It's hard to re-establish in a new city. I'm here by myself. I don't know anyone. My extended family is 700 miles north.
I like my new job and the people I'm working with. The weather is great too. I just feel like I don't know anyone.
Harry and I are still in a long distance relationship. I'm periodically going to Toronto to see him. It's hard to do this. We'll see what happens.
Am I happier? I think so. But that's a never ending journey.
