My Story - Part Ten

The beginning of 2010 started off with a memorial service for my mom. It was a lovely service.

I went and spent a weekend with my best friend at her house.

On Wed., January 20, 2010, I lost Tinkerbell to a seizure. I walked into check on her and she was having a seizure. I tried to revive her but my attempts failed. About thirty minutes later, Tinkerbell died in my arms. I can still see and feel her taking her last breaths. I was devastated beyond belief. Not only had I lost my mom, I had lost my dog.

I spent much of January and February getting the house packed up and ready to sell. We put the house on the market on Fri., March 12th. We had an offer on the house on Thurs., June 3. We closed on the house on July 8th. I was sooo glad to be out of there. I won't delve into the family issues during all of this.

In mid March, I spent a lot of time down at my friends' house. They got an offer on their house around March 19th and closed on their deal on April 12th. They moved out fo their house on April 15th.

I had a lot of issues with people over things that did not have to be complicated. As soon as the house had an offer on it, I was told to find a place to live. None of my family was willing to help me in that regard. I ended up finding my own place to live another suburb.

I moved into my own apartment on Fri., July 2, 2010. When I moved in, I had so much stuff. I eventually weeded thru it and got rid of a bunch of stuff. There is just so much stuff that you can haul around.

After I moved, I started living again. I have gotten to go on a few trips. I went out with my friends. I have had fun.

It is mid July 2011... I am moving in with some friends and looking for work.
