It's a big move so it won't be for several months, maybe a year. I am going back to Washington State Just need some things to fall into place before I can leave Ohio. I started today on getting my house ready to sell. We also need to sell my mom's house for her estate. Both things are really important, sell both houses and we all know that can take some time.

I have lived in Washington before, I'm going back to the same area. I love it so much. It was the best time of my life, living there. I moved back to Ohio in 05 because my Dad was sick, I was here when he passed. Now that my mom and dad are both gone, well, I realized a while back that nothing, except Jennifer, is keeping me here. I love my daughter more than anything in the world but she is moving out soon, out of my town and into a new apartment. She has a partner of 2 years, she is really happy, she has a really good job. If I could take her with me, I would but she needs her own life and I realized that I do too.

I'm just not happy in Ohio and it's time for me to be happy.
 
Congratulations on getting out of Ohio.

On a serious note, hope the move goes well and everything works out for you.
 
Take an umbrella :D

But it seriously is a beautiful part of the country when the sun is shining. Those 3 days are spectacular.

OK seriously again.....good luck with the move. Snow sux.
 
Washington State sounds like a great place to me. I have never been there but a good friend of mine is from there and he is always saying he will retire there. Plus the things I have seen on TV look pretty cool.

Oh c'mon Clutch...snow is cool (no pun intended)...having grown up further North and now living in Atlanta...I miss it.

You have sledding, snow ice cream (snow, a bit of sugar, a drop or two of vanilla extract), exciting driving, snowballs, etc.

The part of the state I am moving to is actually desert. I will be in the lower part of Washington, close to Oregon.

Thanks Clutch. :)

I love it. I will be very close to several mountain ranges and the second largest river, The Columbia, plus the Snake River, both will be right out my front door. We don't have those in Ohio. lol
 
I talked to Jennifer last night, I wasn't going to right now but the minute she walked in the door I started crying. I explained I wasn't happy and was planning on moving, she cried, I cried.

This morning she called in to work, she had come downstair crying. She said she couldn't stop.


I feel like the worst mother.

Don't! You gotta do for you!

She can come visit!
 
Welcome back. Your neighbor on the wet side of the mountains.

Thanks, Yoda. I fell today, bad. I slipped on clothes on the floor. I was going through them to determine what I am taking with me.


My left knee is screwed. :(

I am, however, still excited about this adventure.

I know, right? What a time to mess it up. I can hardly get up off the couch.


I'll be alright, the damn thing is all bruised and swollen. I probably should put something cold on it. It will be better in a couple of days. :)

Up in the northern part of the state is quite dry I thought around the Okanagan.
I see you the US misspells it to Okanogan. Weird. :D

Looks like the Columbia would dry up if Canada ever turns off the tap. :D
 
The Columbia and Snake rivers meet right where I will be living. We used to jet ski and go camping all the time, so much fun.

Good for you as the easiest thing to do is nothing and just stay put. I hope the houses sell soon and you can get back out west. I spend some time in the SeaTac/Vancouver Portland area and it is nice country and you can smoke grass until your heart is content.......................:D

LOL I have spent some of my best days in SeaTac, sleeping overnight because I missed my flight to Pasco.


I've been to Portland Oregon. This is one thing I plan on doing this time around, traveling WA more. :)
 
Congrats, always nice to live somewhere you love. My goal is to move back to Vermont someday, I fell in love in college and can't wait to go back.

I certainly will.

I talked to family today, my sister, my sister in law and my brother. They all took it pretty well, although, my sister doesn't think I should leave my daughter. I do feel guilty but I'm unhappy here. Jennifer is moving into her own place next week, she has a partner and a good job in the town beside us. She cried when I told her how unhappy I was.

I haven't told my other sister yet. She will give me hell and be pissed at me. I'll let you know how that goes.
 
Going through stuff is kinda fun. It brings back a lot of fun memories.


I've got about 5 bags of trash and old musty clothes, out on my porch. Wednesday is trash day.
 
I missed this. Good luck to you Lisa. Have a purge. I hate to admit it but when we moved about 10 years ago I filled a 20 yard dumpster........ to the top.

Hey sweetie. :) Holy crap, you had a lot of stuff. I felt quite satisfied with what I got done, yesterday.

I'm keeping my furniture, my mom's cherry bedroom set and putting them in a storage unit here. I don't mind paying the storage every month. I'll move them out west later, when I have the money. I've already looked at moving companies and prices. I am going to try to give away a couple of furniture items, my Christmas items and trees are, hopefully, going to Jennifer. Those kinds of things I just don't have room for. I'm taking my tv in my car. It's big but I think it'll fit. I refuse to buy a new tv, this one I have is nice.


I'd like to move by the end of the year so i've got plenty of time to get rid of stuff. I've started already, it keeps my frustration at bay. If I could I'd move this minute. I'm ready to move on with my life so sometimes I get frustrated at being stuck here. I am making plans for what to do with my things.


I have to find a Dr, a therapist, a mental health physician, a pharmacy, and a neurologist. I've already looked at some apartments online but it's way to early to do anything about that. I'm going to apply and get an apartment before I leave Ohio. I am also going to try to get my electric turned on before I leave here. I need the electric on for my cpap machine. The other things I can get turned on after I get there.

I am so sorry for blabbering. It's just kinda nice to write out what needs done.
 
Frustration, yeah, today is a bad ass day. I feel like what I desire is going to take forever to happen. I am so down. Usually I’m pretty good patience wise but not today. I just want to get the hell out of here and onto my new life.
 
Jennifer took her cats yesterday, they are going to live with her now. She has her own place, she is no longer living with me.
I am going to miss Ruby like crazy, she was my little peanut. Although, she's technically Jennifer's kitty, I took care of her for 3 years while Jennifer was in college. Ruby knows me as momma lisa. I stroked and stroked her yesterday, told her how much i loved her and to please not forget me. I cried off and on all afternoon.

I talked to Jennifer about giving her power of attorney so that after I got my house ready to sell, she could sign the papers for me, when it sold. She said she would.


I am going to go through more stuff today, making decisions on what I am keeping and what I am throwing away.
 
Good luck on your move, I hope it all works out for you.
 
My friend Robin wants to drive with me to Washington, stay a couple of days and then fly home. I have known her since 1986, she lives in Michigan right now. We'll have to see if things work out, hopefully, she can ride out there with me. :)

I'd take Kurt to the end of the world with me but Ashley might have a fit.


I had an appt with my therapist today. She was very supportive of my plans to move. She said it sounded to her that I have given this much thought and also said, she would help me find another therapist and med Dr in Kennewick. :)
 
Today is one of those days when I am frustrated. I want to get out of here now. I hate it here and want to get on the road to my new life. I am also scared about leaving Jennifer. Man, I love that girl more than life itself and it scares me, can I function without her.

I want to cry so hard.
