An in-between phase

I hope to keep popping back to see mum and maybe being able to do some work shifts @Sun_Addict but it's not the same as being a member of the community, and I am so sad to be leaving this lovely block where all the neighbours are so peaceful and nice and we all look out for each other
Anyway, tis what it is so trying to focus on onwards and upwards, just in a bit of a grieving stage for all that I'm losing before I move onto being dedicated to smashing it making new place and area brilliant
Also though the architect was a d*ck and did such a bad job, I keep staring out of our large windows here at the trees and birds and butterflies and moon, and fervently hoping that new place isn't going to feel like a cell with its really small windows and no direct sunlight

Sounds like you are going through a grieving process. Understandable in the circumstances. It’s a huge, forced life change that you don’t want but have to go for, to gain long term security. It’s a tough one and it’s not surprising it is bringing up a lot of feelings.
