Well, we woke up to do more moving to get mom into her new place. Was going to be a "take it easy day" since yesterday was fairly intense getting all of my mom's big furniture moved (Thanks for the help Bear!) In reality, it was, but we did some thinking. Mom's in pretty bad shape, and probably will be for a long time to go, and the only place me and Jess found to move that we could afford would be an hour's drive away, and the three people my mom calls friend, and she'd be willing to call for help will be just as far. So, I had a thought of living in the same complex as mom with mom using some of her backages she got from her disability to pay the diference from what we would be paying. It was more a "It'd be nice" type of thought, not anything I took seriously though. Told Jess about it though, and she agreed that it probably would be a good idea as she had similar worries, and convinced me to propose it to mom. Mom thought on it, and as of a half hour ago, she agreed. I know she was scared to be that far out of touch if something went badly. checking with the property to see if they even have a unit available (downstairs, tyvm) and they have only one, litterally directly below mom's unit. Its almost like its meant.
The pros:
One bedroom apt instead of a studio
Spa
Patio
Less worry about mom
Shared cable/internet with mom.
Has seperate storage for all of my tools! (Was worried about that one!)
The Con's
Farther away from some dear friends
Farther away from shopping
More in the beck and call range of mom.
