Has It Been That Long??

Good Grief! I can't believe I have hid away for nearly two years. I thought about just starting a new blog, but you know what? I like the name SewMurkot. I will stay here with this blog and just try to be a good poster from now on.

So what have I been doing? You wouldn't believe. I actually moved to the upper peninsula, and from that moment on my disillusionment began. I don't mind living alone at all, but somehow I was terribly depressed there. After nearly a year and a half, I decided to move. I moved to the Dallas area to live with my daughter. That didn't work out. I was there two months. Two long months. She was a doll. It just wasn't where I was supposed to be, I guess.

I left there and moved in with my sister and her husband in NW North Carolina. It's beautiful here. A very small town of 2,000. Of course it's larger than the UP city where I lived. But we won't count that.

Now it's time to move again. Mind you, I'm merely looking for where should I be? And why did the Lord allow me to trot around the country like this anyway? For what in the world purpose. Do you know how much a moving truck..a UHaul..costs from the UP to Dallas? $1400 one way. Yes I am serious.

So now I am looking at Houston long and hard. Was it so bad? I don't think it was. Of course now my funds are limited. I am on the high end for SS payments, but not for general living. And are you relieved to hear that the cost of living didn't even advance last year? I know this is true because the president said it. That's the reason SS isn't getting a Cost of Living increase this year.

I am still in a quandary of what to do. So all I can do right now is look.
