Where do you want to grow old?

That vacation house sounds like a plan. I am hearing that people are trying to figure out a good place to retire. We have gone west coast to east coast and are most likely heading back West to start out renting first. (Call it a vacation house). We came back here with our 3 year old pooch thinking my anxiety and depression would improve. I am on Effexor x2 every morning. I am 62 hubby is 68. I am trying to mentally block out regrets and move on in the future. I may have inherited this “crap” from my sister (bipolar) and grandfather with (depression). I know this is alot to think of. Our kids (both) over 40 may think we are nuts. it is a lil tougher with inclement weather. I am excited about our plans. . 😊

Ps. I am planning on writing a book about this in the near future. I hope that these issues for others as well as myself will find resolve. There is so much modern medicine out there but hopefully some new info will surface on anxiety…etc….to help.

I am excited to share some news. We have found a rental 15 min from our son’s rental in Santa Barbara. He looked at it yesterday, and we did FaceTime. If this works out (prayer in here), we would have it by 3/1 (which isn’t too far away. We would head out with our pup on or around 3/15, again another journey. We would sell our house here with most of stuff in it. We asked about fencing over there, and it is allowed for Xyla. I feel bad for our pup and moving back. I have learned that all this old furniture is just stuff and has been dragged literally all over the country. I am nervous as we are in the 60’s and it is again a large undertaking. We haven’t rented for a while. I will continue taking my Effexor every morning. My husband is a Saint, and I don’t know how he puts up with me.
Our car plates will still be intact when we get there, I feel bad having to leave our daughter here on the East. We did get to see her a few times. She has two kids, whom we also saw. I hope that this will be a nice place to grow old.
Happy Saturday !!
