All of the difficulty of making numerous 300+ mile six-hour each way trips to the old homestead were happening, starting just over a year ago. There were myriad chores: external property maintenance, insurance claims and adjustments, undamaged property disposal and repairs to the plumbing which was the original cause of the flood.<\/p>\n<p>And now, we&#8217;ve been out of the old place for over nine months and couldn&#8217;t be happier about it. We have had our minds on getting our Arizona home improvements completed and are nearly finished. Best of all, we&#8217;re doing well in the financial end of things, having liquidated the excessive obligations of owning the &#8220;albatross&#8221; in California. You know, property tax, mortgage payments, utilities, gardener, road trips out there to do &#8220;whatever&#8221; and all that. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Tempus Fugit<\/strong> translates from the Latin to &#8220;time flies&#8221; and it certainly feels like it has since those desperate days. The best part about the passage of time in this case is that we don&#8217;t feel any older because of it. Damsel and I are glad that we&#8217;re in a position to get on with our retirement unabated by fixing up the old and improving the new.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is really difficult to believe that it has been a year already since we were agonizing over the water damage to our old house in&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":190,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[70,6,19],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6623","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-arizona","category-california","category-retirement"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/capnbob.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6623","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/capnbob.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/capnbob.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/capnbob.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/190"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/capnbob.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6623"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/capnbob.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6623\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/capnbob.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6623"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/capnbob.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6623"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/capnbob.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6623"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
