Wasn’t going to do an entry today but I’m sure I’ll have enough to update on after my appointment tomorrow, so this way I don’t get too backed up and overwhelmed with too much to cover at once.

Got some more beads yesterday and I’m really acquiring a good selection and styles rather quickly! I’ve got clasp beads, toggle clasps, bugle beads, seed beads, glass beads, European beads, lava beads, and these really cool pony beads. They look like translucent plastic in regular indoor lighting, but they actually turn different colors outside in the sunlight. Furthermore, they glow in the dark. So they’re pretty versatile and fun. I also got silver bangles and stoppers, but I haven’t gotten any spacer beads yet. I have some but they’re too small for my bangles.

Aly’s back to being moody. I guess she still has PMS even though she doesn’t have a uterus. She’d have to have a full hysterectomy to get rid of those symptoms. She’s got this thing about weekends. She feels alone and depressed no matter what’s going on.

She says what she thinks is best to say to me on Skype and then what she really has in mind on her secret Twitter account. I guess she somehow thinks I think she’s stupid or reckless when I told her I worried about her getting the virus, and of course I don’t and that’s not what I meant. She did thank me for my concern, however. Not saying she’s going to get it for sure, but she is around more people than I am. But yes, I know she has common sense and isn’t an idiot or anything like that.

I’m doing all I can to make sure she doesn’t catch on that I’m aware of her latest account because I really like knowing what’s really on her mind and what she doesn’t have the guts to tell me directly. I guess she just wants to keep the peace.

Anyway, Tom showed me that old school that’s for sale in Cisco, Texas. It’s actually going for a hundred and 124k. It’s old and completely dumpy inside but OMG! It’s nearly 10k square feet! Oh, the things we could do with that much space. The monthly payments would only be a little over $500. That’s less than half of what we pay here. However, they do get a dusting of snow so that was a big turn-off right there. The place has been on the market for over a year so maybe if Florida doesn’t work out and it’s still available, it might be a good backup.

Also found a great place in central Florida with hardly anyone around and a beautiful 2019 house but the catch to that one is that it’s not even 1000 square feet.

There was a bigger 1979 place that was also appealing close to the coast. I just hope all these ideal places - or that are close enough to ideal - will be available when the time comes! Tom’s been looking regularly to get an idea of what’s around and how often and where and feels confident there will always be something.

I can’t wait! Yes, it’s going to be hard on me and there’s a lot of work to do and the whole thing seems pretty overwhelming because long-distance moves are always a disaster but I’m ready and excited at the same time. At least this time we have money coming in regularly and he doesn’t have to scramble to find a full-time job.
