Life Has Been Busy

Tweet

I apologize for my absence. A lot has gone on since my mother passed away, least of all has been my health. Fibromyalgia symptoms have been at an all time high. Shortly after my mother's funeral my husband was told his parents have a room at the seniors residence. It's time for him to buy the house. Suddenly our mortgage has doubled and we will probably be in debt for the rest of our lives. And a wedding on the horizon to boot (our oldest daughter). However, there has been a change in my husband's attitude. I'm not sure whether he told a family member how I was reacting to moving to PEI and gave him a good talking to, or whether my mother's funeral made him realize that it's not all about him. We're going to rent the house out (starting this summer to his brother who will be spending the summer there with his family), and then his niece has shown interest to rent it with some friends. My husband got the bank to lower the price because he insisted it needs a new deck and front window. For us, after retirement, we would spend the summers down there only. We are not moving there altogether. He's also been very attentive and sweet to me lately - whether it's because he is excited about buying the house or other reasons or a combination of reasons, I don't know and don't really care. He has compromised and agrees to go for another tropical vacation in December. Feels like that frying pan finally bonked him on the head. Whatever the reason I am content, though worried about the money situation. HOWEVER, I do have my mother's inheritance money coming my way so we I (and I stress "I" because the inheritance money is mine and mine alone) will have the money for a vacation, some to put aside for the wedding, and will invest some as well. So that's just one chapter of what's been going on. Sorry I've been absent.
