At the close of the day–6 pm– and I no longer own my home.

I am feeling a little uprooted, with no sure place for my roots. I better put them in some water so at least they will not dry out and die.

I ordered these “pods” (not the kind from my wisteria) but containers for all that I own– my important stuff of life, and many memories. This is a new way of moving, in that I do not have to rent a truck or hire a big moving company.   Instead the Pod company drops  off these containers called “pods” for me to fill up and then they will store them until at such time I know where I am going.

So, that’s kind of like putting my roots–or my stuff in a bucket of water to keep.

Where will I live?

I know the area is up north, El Dorado Hills or Folsom I think. But should I buy or should I rent now?

What is on the horizon for home prices and the economy?

I still have a teen aged son, and still want him to have a feeling of life, stability and home–with a good group of kids at seminary and his teacher’s quorum (Mormon stuff).

I’m a little sad because my daughter just moved back here, and my granddaughter and son in law. And she is pregnant and suffering my most miserable DNA that I passed on to her–all-day and night nausea, weakness, and yes, barfing. I am so sorry for her and want to be able to help. So going north is a little sad in that respect. My hope is that she, uprooted as well from their home in Utah and now living with her mother in law, will relocate up north by me. 🙂

My sister Talee is probably to be uprooted, due to foreclosure. My mom too, due to living expenses. My hometeacher is uprooted–he left today, his home selling in a day.

When my husband was informed by his high priest group leader of the need to reassign  a new home teacher to us,  Gene smiled and said, “no need to, we have our house up for sale too.”  Russ has been our home teacher for as long as I can remember–and before that our bishop. He would not be easily replaced.

So, there are many of us uprooted. We are renting back a couple of weeks, escrow was sooo short.

It is really a blessing, I know. We got a high price, we can pay off our debt, we are not sinking.

But it is still a little sad, a little difficult, and for me, I am displaced with no home yet.
