I know if I were to follow right away it would definitely seem like pursuing. I should have added. I'm looking at a minimum 6 months at the earliest to move.
I have some renos to do and the economy here is crap right now. If I were to just move now I would get soaked on my house if I could sell it and probably have no job to go to. I want the house to get as much as it can for me and have a job lined up before I move. I'm going to handle this properly. There is a lot of factors that will decide when and if I can move. How long does it take to fix up the house. How long does it take to sell. Do I have a satisfying job lined up for my career. All of that play a factor. And right now in Alberta ( where I live) a job is like gold. Things are tough and may/will get worse before it gets better.

Irish. Thank you for posting and sharing your insight. I find myself still doing some things for her like that shelf. But I have plans to put it up on an accent wall and surround it by pictures of me and my kids. By restoring that shelf tho. It gave me the confidence to do it to other pieces for myself. Like a cheap dresser I got for myself. The focus is shifting to me. I trick myself into thinking I'm further along than I am tho. And the reality check is tough
