I’m not the same person I was 14 months ago. Things that I was “ride or die” about, mean very little to me now. I have lost interest in a lot of projects and interests. It’s not that I can’t do them, it’s that I don’t want to do them without Rick. Losing your spouse changes your life completely. It is time to let some things go and try to figure out what I am going to do for the rest of my life.
In the next few months, I will be downsizing both mine and Rick’s personal assets. I will be auctioning off/marketplace some items from my store (furniture, wall décor, sporting goods, tools, etc.), some of our personal items (Vinyl, Vinyl cutter, Tonka Trucks, Dartboard from the American Legion, Tool boxes, Arcade table, Motorcycle helmets with Bluetooth, Scaffolding, Outdoor Heaters, Etc), items that I have been collecting for the banquet room that I was planning on opening (100+ piece Plate sets, cups, glasses, stemware, floral, centerpieces, columns, wedding décor, etc), items form Olive Branch church (windows, candelabras, pews, pulpit, woodwork, etc), and some of Rick’s guns. I will only be selling a few things on Marketplace, and I will share those listings once I get them in order. Please don’t ask for a price for stuff before it goes to auction. I will not be selling it like that. You will have to bid!! I will also entertaining offers for the Gas Station, the Martin St lot, and the rental house. I already have people interested in all of these but will advertise if we can’t agree on a price. I have already listed the 5th Wheel camper and a few cars and tow trucks. I will also be selling my minivan and truck (not Rick’s). There is probably some other stuff I forgot.
I will NOT be selling any other properties!!
I am not doing this because I need money. I’m doing it because I don’t need all this stuff!!! It is true that Rick has a few bills against his estate, but it is not anything that I can’t handle. I have a couple of new business interests, and I still plan to tour Europe by train and that ain’t cheap!! And I also want a cow, so I’m going to have to move to the country because cows aren’t allowed in town. Not that I need a barn because he is going to live inside the house with me!
