A Place of my Own - YouLookFab Forum

I am now in my own apartment and it feels good. I got the keys on the 1st and started moving the fragile stuff. The hubster got his men to moved the big stuff and furniture on the 2nd. I originally planned on moving into a small house or a duplex so I could continue my gardening but I developed more health issues over the last summer and was unable to work more than a half hour without my blood pressure going very, very high. The cardiologist thinks it is a blocked renal artery. I still need to schedule the test. Once I came to my senses I made the logical decision to move into an apartment and I found one in Roseville, not far from my old home and close to my daughter that takes dogs up to 75 lbs. Zeus and I are happy here. Now that I am out of the house the attorney can do his thing. For those new to my situation I posted about it here. I did seek the help of a psychiatrist for the episodic anxiety (his words) I was having. He gave me Xanax, a very low dose, .25 mg which I only take half, so my blood pressure does not sky rocket. I saw him again today and all is good. I am slowly unpacking and filling my bookcases with my beloved books and getting my closet in order. As soon as I have it the way I want it I will post pictures. I am so glad my wardrobe is in such fantastic shape because it is one less thing I need to worry about. I look damn good if I do say so myself. My thanks to all my YLF friends for that. I will let you know how things progress but as of right now, I am good.

love to all of you, deb

Yay! I was thinking about you today. I am so happy for you that you now have a place of your own. I was damn near giddy when I moved into my own place after my divorce. I could make dinner...or not (when the kids were at their dad's). I could have complete control of the remote (which meant I could keep the darned thing OFF). I could set the thermostat at "my" temp. I could decorate without compromise. I could read in bed as late as I wanted. I had the WHOLE DAMN CLOSET. (In my case...) I could work as late as I wanted without anyone getting their panties in a wad. Pure bliss in my book:-)

Just let the lawyer do his thing and enjoy your much deserved new-found freedom.

Yay is right. I've been thinking about you and I'm so happy to hear that you are in a good place (and in good company) during this tumultuous time. Looking forward to seeing the new place

The Xanax sounds like a good move. Ok but now the important stuff: decorating time!!

Gigi

Yes, a new apartment and a new start. I hope that you will feel safe here and will be able to begin the healing process. I'm glad that you have Zeus as your companion!

Deborah

Deb thanks for the update. Its hard to know what to say in situations like this. You are a beautiful, smart woman and this is a new beginning. You are in my thoughts and I can't wait to see your new place.

Adelfa

I love having my own apartment. It is my first. It sounds like you will love it also. I too had to find a complex that would take my 77 pound Borzoi. But before him I had poodles so I love your dogs. I'm glad you are enjoying getting everything in order.

So glad to know that you're doing well, have a new place, and a new fur baby. I'm sure things will shape up nicely from here on. You're a brace, beautiful, strong woman, Deb. I look forward to seeing some photos soon!!!

Deb!!! I missed your original post. (This new site format makes me forget about Off Topic.)

A new apartment, a new pup, and a new life -- what could be better? You sound strong and positive, and we're all cheering for you! So glad to get such a great update.

Deb, I didn't realize...thank you for the update. I am very impressed by your strength and determination. You've made great strides forward already and I hope this next stage of life is a positive and rewarding one for you. <hugs>

Congrats to you for being decisive and taking the needed steps for your own health and well being. Thank you for the update and keep us posted, decorating and closet pics are in order!

I want to talk home decor and furniture placement! Hehe. Sorry. I LOVE decorating time. My cousin says I have a problem, and he's an architect who makes this stuff his living...

Sal

Thanks for letting us know, take care of yourself with lots of hugs with your family and puppy.

Summer

That's a good, positive step, Deb. All the best for making a fresh start for yourself and Zeus. Take care.

missvee

Glad to hear that you're making some good progress and looking after yourself. It's a long process, so try not to get discouraged at the ' bumps in the road '.

SarahTheWhite

I'm glad you are taking care of yourself... I can't wait to see pics of the new apartment. Sending lots of hugs.

Style Fan

You do look great. I can't wait to see pictures of your new apartment. I have been thinking about you. Hugs.

Janet

Sounds like a good fresh start, and I'm so glad you have Zeus with you. Pets can be such a huge comfort. Enjoy getting your new place sorted and decorated -- maybe that can be a bit of a solution to your lack of gardening opportunity there! Continuing to send support and hugs your way.

Eliza

Deb- thanks for the update. While the process is major, I hope you can allow yourself a moment to notice how much you have accomplished in a relatively short time-frame. All good thoughts being sent your way!

Happy place of your own.

Jules

I'm impressed. Way to go girl, seriously.
