Home deposit?

Today I hope to pay the deposit on the new "sleeping mat" - in other words my new dwelling.

My lovely financial adviser came to see me yesterday and we juggled and juggled and have finally worked out the best way to do this. It still frightens me but he managed to bring my stress level down considerably. 

Perhaps it helps when he knows me well enough to make his own coffee? (Strong instant coffee - "the good stuff is wasted on me".) 

Then my wonderful friend S... called me and said, "It is going to be much too hot for you to pedal all that distance Cat. I am taking you and there will be no arguments." I gave in because the forecast is for 36' and P... will be here giving some things a final scrub.

The new carpet went in yesterday too. It almost makes me wish I could stay here. The rooms look bare. I keep imagining how I could fill them, how I could arrange the books and more. 

I am still feeling anxious...I don't like this major upheaval to my life...but I know I am fortunate. I will still be in the community I know. I went very briefly into the library yesterday and one of the staff said, "You know we are all pleased. Nobody here wanted to see you go." That was so nice. It makes me feel as if I can purr...just a little bit.
