As you can imagine, work right now has a bunch of people walking around with dazed expressions. Most of us haven’t considered (at least in the short term) either leaving our job or selling our home, but for most of us, we’ll have to do one or the other. A few folks will be able to go virtual, but I don’t have either the option or disposition. 

I don’t know which way the wind is blowing for us – we are still gathering information in order to make an informed decision. We have eliminated Phoenix as a possibility – Ft. Lauderdale is a drive away, but Phoenix is not. We have too much family in this area to go that far. Not to mention, we’d go nuts living that far from the ocean. 

While there are several permutations within each decision, it boils down to staying here and searching for a new job or moving to Ft. Lauderdale.

 We have a real estate agent coming tomorrow to give us a good idea of what we would likely be able to sell our home for, and what we would have to do to get it ready to be put on the market. We will be making a trip down to Ft. L (hopefully staying with Saunooke’s friend AC) to take a look at the job market and for him to look around the area. The housing market seems to be  a buyer’s paradise, and my dream of a vintage 1950s home with a carport and a pool looks like it would only be a signature away. 

I won’t lie, I’m still in a daze. Fox is taking this much better than I expected. I am trying to focus on the positive and be grateful for the small things that are keepign me sane.  Like beer and chocolate cake.  *lol*
