Wow, over a month since I wrote in my blog. I officially started "on the floor" April 1st. (At Boooking.com). It's been a whirlwind! Lot's to learn even after training. It's going good so far.
Ray's sisters, Marguerite and Grace stopped by yesterday for a brief visit. It was so nice to see both of them together. I wish we could have had more time but Grace had to get back to Detroit and return a pick-up she borrowed. She purchased the old pump organ from me.
The weather is getting so nice out. Drew and I spent some time this weekend doing yard work. Took Harley for a nice long walk. Went to Tom and Mary's for dinner last night. It was a great weekend.
I don't really have any sentimental feelings as I drive past Kirby House. Ray and I always knew it was a step to our next venture in life. We always felt it as hour temporary home, a place that was our home but mosty our business. I guess it never really felt like "our home." It felt as if we were the current caretakers. It was supposed to be our investment for our retirement. Who knew the financial crisis would hurt so many people and it trickled down to us three and a half years ago. The only reason I could keep up the Kirby House for another three years was because of life insurance. I just kept hoping the economy would pick up. It didn't pick up quick enough and I dumped everything into it I could until everything ran out. Kinda sucks! No, it really sucks, but as Ray would always tell me..."don't worry there is nothing you can do about it." That's easy to say until it really hits this bad.
My emotions still have to be kept in check. I've had huge life changing events in the last four months. Moving out, moving into a new place, getting a new job, signing the house over to the bank, and now trying to get my personal bankruptcy going. Each one of these is a huge emotional undertaking. So, there are many days I just feel exhausted from my emotions.
Well, I've got to get to work. - Chow, Jimmy
