D broke up with her boyfriend in CA? There seems to be a lot of frustration and stress all over that house in CA. Notice I did not call it a home.
I like your GAL stuff. GAL does not = spend money. I think it's doing things that bring you peace, contentment, joy. Sometimes for me that's as simple as listening to the horses munch their hay.
Live your life while you are still living. Riding the trail less traveled.
