Should we move?

Hmmm..this is a perplexing issue right now. Dot is getting to leave us at the end of the month and go out on her own. This will be very sad but I understand that it's something she must do for herself. I've known dot for just about ever. She knew me when I was 16, into grunge, and just about the most difficult teenager ever. Dot was the kindest person during some of the toughest times in my life so it's very sad to have her move out. I know, I know, I can't have a roommate forever but I love Dot.

Anyway, with Dot leaving it has brought up the possibility of moving into the renovated house. It was something we were mulling over but now we are giving it serious consideration. There are some pros and cons. Being the Libra I am I cannot decide for the life of me.

Pros: Less busy street (maybe by 50%), less space to clean up, a new yard to tackle, an opportunity to throw away junk we have been accumulating (nothing like a move to do that), a house for Mike and I to move into together from "scratch", a tax benefit of actually having lived in the house, having a better cash flow situation (the other house will rent for more), more sunlight as this house is very light and bright.

Cons: Less space (50% less space), only 1 bathroom, no air conditioning, huge yard to tackle ( i know, i know..it's a pro and a con).

Seems like there are more pros than cons but I am a space hog so this is hard for me to do. I think it could be fun though and I know that it will only be for a short while (2 years max). This is very perplexing indeed.

Last night's dinner was very yummy indeed. The food was good, but not as good as Celadon. The pork we ordered was a bit on the dry side so Mike ate mine which he later came to realize as "I just ate $50 of pork!" The company was excellent though and the sorbet for desert was by far some of the best I have ever had. Yummy.
