Ok, so it's been 2 months now in my new apartment, MY apartment, ALL MINE! And let me tell you, it's AWESOME! I think the nervous breakdown that I had was my body kicking me in the ass, to get me to do what I needed to do, but couldn't because I didn't want to hurt Bobby by leaving him with the house to himself.
But, I am so glad that I got my ass kicked, ok so I could have lived without the breakdown, but it got me to do what needed to be done. I feel like a totally different person. I am "Finding" myself if that makes sense to anyone. I have been living in other peoples houses for so long that I never got the chance to discover myself. It feels good! Almost every day I look around my apartment and think to myself, "Wow, this is MY place and MY stuff". And, a feeling of Euphoria comes over me.
And, thank you so much Paul for advising me not to find a new home for Abbie. I think I would have lost my mind if she weren't here, well, not here in my apartment, but she is still living with Bobby, I go and get her once in a while and take her for walks, hang out with her, etc. She is my shining star! She has so much life and love in her, she just makes me so happy when I am with her. I am hoping to be able to buy a Condo or something in the next year or 2, and then I will be able to keep her with me. If I can't afford it, the people that I rent from have an apartment building in Tyngsboro, about 20 minutes from me, and they allow small dogs there. Worst comes to worst, I will just rent an apartment there when my 1 year lease is up, and I can have her there.
I ended up getting a promotion with pay raise, and a raise on top of that at work, so that helped out a lot. And, by selling most of my Geckos (Thank You to everyone that helped me out with that), I managed to get the apartment and buy everything to furnish/decorate it and not get into debt, as well as pay for half of Abbie's latest surgery.
So, things are turning out good. Just thought I would give a quick update!
