Im almost completely moved out of my old house in the woods now. I dont like going there at all without my dogs. The house just doesnt seem right without them there to greet me. Its especially different now that its empty, all but the garage and 2 closets.
Tomorrow I will finish cleaning it out, lock the doors and not go back. That chapter is over. I have my bike and live right next to a large park where I had taken my children many times when they were little. In a few minutes, Im going out for a bike ride to ease my mind.
My jaw is sore and swollen now. It hurts just to touch my cheek. This makes me worried, which I need to take my own advice ...worrying wont change anything. I will see my doc in a few days, not much can be done right now anyway. I have pain meds and magic mouthwash. I still refuse to waste my day, I will have plenty of time later to sit around not feeling well.
Thanks to everyone for their well wishes. Its something that encourages me to keep going. Im a very strong person, but sometimes even the strongest people can be weak.
