Well I turned over the key to our house to the credit union. So the home my wife shared with me is no longer in my hands, and I can no longer spend any time there. It is hard on me, but I had to do it. Putting it off would just make it harder, and there was no way that I could keep our home without her.

So now my apartment is my only home, and anything left behind is lost to me. Though I think I got most if not all the things I wanted to hold onto. I hope I didn't forget anything I will really regret. But it doesn't matter, because if so it is too late now.

I'm up late again dreading the though going to sleep tonight. I have no clue why, which I always find strange, when I get to feeling this way. But I think I will take a few days and just try to settle my thoughts and get use to the fact that this is my new reality. Being alone again, settling into an apartment, getting use to being on a super tight budget, and try to figure out how to get some things paid for without losing my precious possessions that I cherish.

Yes I think a few days to just relax and maybe ease some of my stress. I don't need to hurry to do anything right now, and I have plenty of time before I need to try to renew my license.

In TN you can renew your license online. (as long as it's not a CDL). Is it different in NC?

Thank you my friend, I will keep it in mind if I spend the money on an eye exam. But I think my current glasses are likely going to have to do until I can manage to buy bifocals, as I have stigmatism on top of my other eye requirements. I am trying to put off buying glasses til the truck is paid off, to avoid selling a camera or something to pay for glasses. But like I said I will keep your idea in mind, and I thank you my friend.

How much would those bifocals set you back?

I hope today will be a better day for you Bill. This post reminded me of the film "I am Legend" and that made me think of this song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmwue6Jq4KA I hope you don't think I'm trivialising what you've gone through, that's not my intention. The philosophy of this song has helped me at times of stress and worry. Also sorry if you don't like Bob Marley.
Did you get any new video games lately?

Here in Pennsylvania we go to their office and have a new photo taken. No tests. Of course, seeing how some of the people around here drive, it does make me wonder how they got their licenses! ;)

I like the song, thank you. My friend traded me a game called Dead Space, but I didn't really care for it. Lol :)

Well I just had an interesting experience! Lol. The washer drain hose popped out of the drain pipe, and it was a hurrying to stop the flood kind of thing!lol Luckily I heard the different sound and stopped the washer before it flooded into the bedroom carpet! Now I'm having to do a big load of towels that were clean just minutes ago!lol :p

I thought flooding was an outside thing! Lol ;)

I've not played that one. I just bought the first uncharted game with some vouchers I had but I havn't got around to playing it yet.

Glad you were able to stop the flood before it caused too much damage!

Though I miss my wife's and my home, I think it might have been a good thing I couldn't afford to buy it and keep it. If I would have kept the house, I might have just closed up and tried to live in my memories of my wife. I know this might seem unbelievable to you, but she was my everything and shutting down would have been easy for me to do. So being left with no real choice but to move, it has made me go past that point and almost forced me to move foward.

Now here in a new life, I may face several difficulties, but shutting down is no longer an easy option. I have a new momentum and I admit it is in a better direction for my physical and mental welfare. It hasn't really eased my loss, but it kept me from using that loss to choose a self destructive way to live.

My friends here and my wife's wishes have been a big help in moving in the right direction. I thank you all, my friends, for your help and support. If I can get past these few hurdles, getting my license renewed, paying my truck taxes, get my truck inspected and get tags, then I think things should settle in for me so that I can get by until my truck is paid off.:)

So in a few days I will try to get my license renewed, and then start planning how to manage the rest by August.:)

Don't sweat the license renewal Bill. Here, if your license calls for glasses and you are wearing a pair no one bothers to check wether or not they actually work. As long as you can grope your way to the desk and have the right paperwork and fee you will get your new license.

Well I just realized I left my wife's top quality umbrella at the house, and I sure regret that. But I'm not going to the credit union to beg for the key to go get it. One day in the future I will just replace it with another one, if I feel I can afford it again. Darn!

Oh well, I knew no matter what I did, there would be something I would regret forgetting. I went over there this morning to see if I could see it, and tried a couple keys to see it they were an extra to the door. But no luck, and so I gave up.

Since this woke me up early, I am going to go try to renew my license. The place is so full all the time and very slow, I will go an wait for them to open hoping to hear the long wait times.

They open at 8:00am so I will leave in an hour.:)
