Thanks everyone, ciluzen, job, FY, bttrfly, Sotto, 2T!

Sotto, I’m so happy that you have decided on the new car. It will be a great D present, for sure!

Job, I am smiling every time I get in my new car! I’m still not decided what I want to do with my old car. My mutual friend at the vacation home wanted to buy it 2 years, when I first mentioned that I wanted a new car. I will ask him if he still wants it. On the other hand, this car made it to the vacation home just fine. It doesn’t have much value, maybe about 1500 at the most, insurance on it cheap, Mexico insurance is also cheap. So, I don’t really know… I am just afraid that if something breaks, it will cost a lot of money (like transmission), and I don’t want to put any more money into that car. I will see.

Some updates. I drove to the vacation home last night. I was a bit nervous about how I would take the changes and redecorating that H did at the condo. So, when I came in, first things I saw were the window coverings. He also painted a couple of walls in a different color (accent walls) and around the fire place to match with other colors. I actually like it. This is something that goes along with my taste. The window curtains are nice. The only thing I would do different is the curtains on the three top small windows. They look a bit too busy. H also put the mirror on one of the walls in the living room. Yes, that mirror he had in his car when he “wanted” to pick up the storage chest from my house, and it didn’t fit in the car, LOL.

There are no changes in the bedrooms. All my stuff is still in place, not a single thing got moved.

A couple of “strange” things… There are lots of scented candles in different shapes and containers. Probably the influence of that crazy woman, his friend. I’m not even sure if H can actually smell anything. He had this issue for a long time. He lost his sense of smell because of his allergies and polyps. He regained the sense of smell after his first surgery for polyp’s removal. He had the second surgery a year after the BD, so I don’t know what the result of it was.

Another thing is, he removed all the personal pictures from the living room. That includes a couple of my and my sons pictures, but also all his pictures. He moved them to the spare bedroom. I don’t know, maybe he is planning to rent the condo when he is not here. I haven’t heard anything like that yet.

And… he covered two small windows that are above the stairway to the second floor with some colored paper. These window are way high, and facing the roof top of the neighbor’s condo. There is no privacy concern. Maybe he did it, so they would not show all the dirt that accumulated on the outside of them. Also, the curtains on the top small windows in the living room are not necessary for privacy concerns. I don’t think there is much view of anything from outside. It kind of gives me an impressing that H is trying to hide from the outside world.

Overall, I was surprised that all these changes actually don’t bother me. I feel very comfortable here. I have a feeling that H actually wants me to stay here. This is very strange.
