Moving Sucks!!

Our adorable new house

My room is a shit show of boxes right now.

Not as bad as the kids' room though.

Did you miss me? I've been in the trenches of moving hell. I hate to see what my discord messages look like. Even my Steemit replies must be a scene. We don't yet have internet in the new house, so I'm just writing this up from my bed in my new house. I'm currently surrounded in boxes! Moving is sort of like having a baby in that you don't really remember how intense birth or tiny babies are, so you lose your mind and decide to do it again. This was a quick move, so it's been extra intense. Eleven days from the first time I saw it to the day we moved. It's also a divorce move, so, yeah.

There are twenty something of these beautiful, old cashew trees here!

Before it got too crazy!

Now we are here, though, and it's so incredible. The house is lovely. My ex will be in his own place soon, and we are in a really fabulous new village. Our new location has so much more to offer, including faster internet. There are more shops and a nicer park. Soon I'll do a photo tour, so you can see just how wonderful our new spot is. We are only a block from the beach, but there are lots of gorgeous trees and a fabulous breeze.

My lovely landlady!

The back room as it was getting finished up

I'm really glad to be on the other side of this transition. There's still a whole lot to do, but we now have the stove and fridge hooked up, and I have figured out the very complicated water situation. I am really looking forward to this new chapter in my life. I am excited for it to be just me and the kids. I am so glad for them to have their own room and have a proper kitchen. I can say for certain I am now more grateful for the very simplest of things. We have been living in a one room house with no kitchen sink and no counters for more than two years. I am so glad to be beyond that.

Kitchen is almost set up

Little homey touches. We are making progress!

In any case I have missed all y'all! I've missed reading and learning and writing and especially our conversations. I'm glad I buckled down and busted this move out quickly, but it's strange how attached I have become to all of this. It's also weird how crazy out of practice I feel. Of course I'm also dog tired and physically beat down, so that could be a piece of it. In fact I really must sleep. So good to be back to my Steemit fam.

Much love, y’all!
