Thanks, Alex. My sister is on the other side of the continent. Honestly, as much as I miss being far from my family, the rest of whom are in/about Toronto, Canada, we are quite an "at arms' length" group. The more time I spend with them, the lonelier I get.
I like the idea of making my moves incremental, if only for the sake of not too many changes at once. Living nearby while the wheels of divorce grind their way through let's me keep my doctors, bank, therapist. Then I can make the next step. I do have a women's' support group that helps me emotionally.
My cat Psycho comes with me. She's 13 or 14 years old and a constant companion.
I found an apartment that has offered an expensive, but one time lease offer that would take care of me for the next 7 months. Whether that is practicle in terms of how long a divorce takes, I have no idea. Will ask my lawyer this AM.
The other thing I have realized is that because of my spouse's propensity for secrets and silence, I actually do have a number of friends around here already. He just dislikes them all and calls them crazy. HELLO!
There is a lot to figure out.
And to Poet: cyber slap happily accepted.
