I thought about MrBond and Accuray’s comments.

MrBond, it’s making sense now. I know I was told to do things for ME, easier said than done sometimes. I am glad you brought it to my attention because I think you helped me realize that I am overlooking that piece.
I also thought about Accuray’s comments about the email from W not being negative, your right! I’ve been told that having patience is critically important. I guess I was a bit taken back by the timeline but that can always change and there’s never any guarantee’s. Reflecting on things, it could’ve been worse! Sometimes I just don’t see these things in clarity without the help from others.

I also took the advice and didn’t respond to the last email from W. All of you gave me the impression that a response wasn’t important. I agree and I think that was a great idea.

A couple other recent developments-

I met with a financial advisor, WOW, what an eye opener. That was a much needed meeting!!!

I’ve also been going back and forth on my living situation. Well, I did a lot of work on my budget and it looks like I will be able to remain in the house and stay within a decent budget. I can’t guarantee it will be a long term thing but I know I will be living there for the time being, which is great. It will also allow me to keep my awesome Labrador!!! I am soooo happy about this.
