A failed experiment... possibly

[Crankin]

NY, your hives story is very interesting. I had chronic hives during the period I was having the asthma issues, when I was about 34-35. But, after I moved back here, and I was generally healthier, I had them again, on and off for 2 years. No one found any cause, and they were concerned because my mom had them all of her life and she died of an autoimmune liver disease. But, my tests for that were fine. I've come to the conclusion it was stress, coupled with peri-menopause, which for me, started at about age 39 (yes, 7.5 years of hell).

The decision is made, we will be moving home. The only question left is when; we're going home for a week in late July and will look at a couple of condos and apartments, if we find something we like we will go when the opportunity presents (closing date or availability date). If we don't find anything we'll keep looking from afar; our latest date to go home will be May of 2017 (10 months from now) if my asthma cooperates, but I'm betting it won't be that long before we go.

I am sure you are relieved to have the decision made. Sometimes, it's a lesson in being flexible when things do not go as we thought they would.
Here's to happy future adventures.

What Crankin said! I know I feel better once a decision is made (the "J" part of my Myers-Briggs personality type), so I, at least, would be relieved just to have that part behind me. I hope you'll keep posting about how your move plans go. Wishing you happy trails and smooth sailing ahead, Pax!

(And I hope you don't have to move north during the winter!!!)

Thanks Crankin, the relief in our home is palpable. I feel bad for my honey since she loves being outside so much, but she's even ready to throw in the towel because of the bigots.

Emily, it's another adventure! I'll post in this thread as things progress.

We're going to open bank accounts while we're home, and get pre-qual'd for a mortgage. That way if we find something we like we can buy and just have our lawyer handle it while we're in FL.

I'll miss you, but it sounds like it's for the best.

Happy house hunting.

Thanks, Oak, I'll miss you too. Although I may be here for one more snowbird season.
