well, things r finally looking up.

i’ve been a ball of anxiety for most of the last couple years now. i’ve had a lot of covid related financial problems. i’ve been something of a mess.

but at least my financial woes r over. i sold a rental sf house, and i did rly well.
broke my heart to sell it. bought it a wreck, fixed it up w a couple of friends. we did a great job. a dream come true. but i need to cut back on both work and woes, and i needed the money.
my hood is very undervalued, cuz it’s the most diverse hood in the city. we also have a lot of social services/businesses like nursing homes and rehab places. cuz that’s who we roll.
but it’s a great hood, w lots of transit, parks, good schools, retail, restaurants and entertainment. even have beaches. yet, it’s cheap here.

well, this little place is adorable, and in about 1/4 of the hoods in the city would be worth a min of twice what i got. so i sorta put my foot down about what it is worth. i went through 3 realtors. the 1 who sold it was srsly skeptical, but she couldnt argue w the facts. we started high, and held our breath. well, it only took 3 wks to get more than anyone thought i could. i appreciate the money, but more than that i did a bit to fix an unjust system.
the folks who live here know their biggest asset will be undervalued. and they accept that. but they shouldnt have to. it shouldnt cost u money to be a good person.

it’s been quite a while since i did a good thing. b4 the plague i had a volunteer gig that went a long way to heal after my divorce. but the plague stopped that. it feels super good to do good again.

i’ve been putting so much into the- after i sell the house- pile. not looking forward to that reckoning, but…
i’ve been doing better lately. yoga has been going very, very well. and my new puppy is just the best.

now if i can just figure out how to not be all alone for the rest of my life….
