April 30    Dear Diary,

Great day today.  It is almost time for me to leave this area.  Finally, I am acknowledging to myself I have worked and survived in a field unrelated to Real Estate for over a year.  Since January of 2011 I have worked in the circulation department for the Daily Astorian.  It’s been fun, challenging, no where near the pay from Real Estate but part of my education in another world.   Today, I finished a successful sale for a project that will fund 30,000 newspapers.

Got an email response from my blog today too, reminding me of the family reunion near Manchester, Ky, for descendants of Aunt Josie Jackson Sizemore, my great grandmother, whose legacy inspires me.

I have lists covering the table tonight.  They include list to pack in different containers, an order for unpacking, a question for WHEN do I leave?  Time to try on for size and downsize to my permanent residence,  the little house!
