ok, i'm still being negative... but i'm finally looking for some positives. bottom line is that life goes on. i may be upset, angry, frustrated, confused, and emotionally unbalanced...but i'm not dead or sick or blind or in a wheelchair.
it's time to look forward, time to accept that we will be living in this new house for the next six months. i use "hell hole" affectionately; the place may be old, dirty and a relic from the 50's, but we could have done a LOT worse. the cat has adjusted, the appliances work (fingers crossed), the neighborhood is the same and the rent is reasonable.
today my high point was that i finally got all the tv boxes connected and working. we can watch all those episodes of "house" that are piling up. the computer works, and i have new monitors (old ones didn't survive the move.) granted, there is no food in the refrigerator and i haven't yet faced taking a shower here (much easier to do that at the gym with the luxury of a steam room and sauna thrown in). i'm lost without a garbage disposal and ice maker, but that's just cause i'm obviously spoiled.
hey, life is good and getting better. we don't get stronger without these icky little life pitfalls. we get spoiled, and then get real, when forced to deal with things the old school way. back in my college days i lived in some pretty nasty situations; no reason i can't do that again. maybe it will make me younger :-).
so...the worst is over. time to look forward.
