Unhappy After 50 yrs

We have lived at this addy that long,but in 2 diff houses,next door to each other.So,yes,it's going to be very diff.Also,we'll be moving from country to suburb of a city.This house is super close to neighbors & has almost no yard,compared to the 2 acres we have here.

Main reason for moving,is being closer to our DD.She lives with her hub & son just 7 miles from new place.Right now,it's 130 miles rd trip.We're getting rid of a ton of stuff.....but still have too much.Hope to move within a couple mos.


The economy/less jobs is everywhere.A friend's son hasn't found work & grad last yr as an engineer.

It's a diff world for sure!

Boy, Pat. I can't even imagine moving after being in a house for 50 yrs.
We certainly don't need snow today here in western Wisconsin but I guess we don't have a choice.
I've been slipping a bit with my diet and exercise. Yesterday was the first time I got in my 10,000 steps since I left Texas 2 weeks ago. I AM going to make it to a WW meeting this week to get me inspired.
I think my hubby is trying to make me crazy. After 6 years I have finally adjusted to my winters in Texas and even found a weekly quilt group that I am very fond of. His sister bought a house not too far from us so I would actually have relatives to do things with and I like her. He's not much for socializing but he would spend time with his sister. Now he is looking at a new job in the Twin Cities area. We would still keep our WI home and he would get a condo or apt. Darn it! I was actually looking forward to next winter.
On a happier note, my daughter is applying for jobs in our area since there are no pharmacy jobs in Madison. Can you believe this stupid economy has made jobs scarce for pharmacists? That is one field that I thought would always be in demand but they just aren't retiring since they lost their retirement savings in the stock market.
Well, that's not so happy either. I'll try to be more upbeat in my next posting.[/QUOTE]
