Pity<br />But at least you have started now!<br />I recognize this feeling of not wanting to do something you know you have to eventually.<br />I had two moving boxes in my hall just behind the front door. Wit things from my parents house. They stood there for over 3 months I saw them every day and every time I went to work I told myself I would unnnnpack them in my next leave....<br />I finally did last friday.<br />It meant I had to let go all these items and memories through my hands again.<br />I cleared out a cupboard to make room. And the most emotional thing was when I found my Fathers Seaman's Discharge book in the box.....that brought me to tears.<br /><br />I think there must be a reason for not wanting to do the things that have to be done....(also crying)<br />You made the first step dear!<br />I know for sure you will find that house which is there waiting for you to buy it and to make it a happy home!<br /><br />love >M<mariannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09285970503295829713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34861243.post-56797650928180047892009-07-04T23:10:05.245-04:002009-07-04T23:10:05.245-04:00I came on earlier but my on the road computer knoc...I came on earlier but my on the road computer knocked me off when I was trying to send you a comment.

Yes, it does feel good to take some further steps. <br /><br />Teri and the cats: I have always thought home buyers should get to stay overnight in a prospective purchase to just feel it out. I mean these things cost so much money one wants to "try it on" as one would a dress before buying.<br /><br />Cris, I have pretty much decided that re: cats they will have to be indoor cats almost anywhere I buy. Either that or i will put up a screened porch for them. Although someone told me they did a coyote kill here a few years ago which has reduced their numbers, we used to have lots of cat killing coyotes here besides the traffic!sukipoethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09351851210507048174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34861243.post-17256154040291914922009-07-03T12:12:55.621-04:002009-07-03T12:12:55.621-04:00Well the noise IS a big consideration...and you ha...Well the noise IS a big consideration...and you have the cats.
