Hello glassgrl,
How's it going, I don't know, OK I guess.
The house is almost empty of furniture & stuff, but that's about all, the roof, walls & attic are still in the living room.
I suppose they will be tearing it down soon.
What's holding things up is the insurance company said my builders estimate was not complete or high enough so he did it over.
I still need to have plans made for the new house, but want to wait until the check arrives.
I'm miserable living in this mobile home, this one is not meant to live in, too small & I dread the winter while here. I wish I could go to sleep & wake up in the spring & look up on the hill & see my new house. All I see there now is my broken home covered with a bright blue tarp.
I started selling on eBay again & it helps a bit to being doing something. There is a little shed out back of my house & it looks like a cute miniture house & is undamaged. It is now set up with shelves, lights & a kerocene heater & my rubber stamps that I sell on eBay are there. I go up the hill choose some bring them back & then list them, not as many as I used to, but still enough for something to do.
As miserable as I am, I'm OK. I know I can't change what happened & I will get through it. I remember wgm's heartbreaking post about how she lost her home & everything to fire, one of the worst things that can happen & I have to realize what happened to me is nothing compared to that.
I really didn't lose too many things other than my house.
I know I'm not posting much, but I'm still checking in at EO everyday. It's comforting to come here & see all the familiar posters,
I really look forward to it.
My Thanksgiving was very nice, we spent the day at a friends house. I hope yours was nice too.
Thanks so much for asking.

Taken from the door of my trailer, doesn't look too bad from the outside because of the fake roof they built with the tarp, but inside is another story!

Hi McJane!
You have been on my mind so much lately! It's nice to see you post
I am glad you are back to selling - it will help you. I wasn't able to get back to selling for 3 months, so was more preoccupied with everything else. Time is a healer, though
It was a very reflective Thanksgiving for us this year, as I am sure it was for you. We all have so many things to be thankful for. I still have bad times, but I keep telling myself that no matter how hard I have it, there is always someone who has it worse...sort of puts things in perspective for me, but I am still changed if that makes any sense.
Post more often - I know a lot of people here miss you!
