It's been a while since I've been in Palm Springs solo and today has been one of heavy reflection. I don't think I fully realized until now that this property has been weighing me down emotionally (in addition to the known financial drain of trying to operate a 90-year-old property as a short-term rental in a desert).
But so much of this house represents my ex-husband's desires, interests, and affinities. And what we'd set out to do here in PS together before the relationship ended...

I'm starting to feel an immense sense of emotional closure while still struggling with the financial aspects that have me really frustrated: taking a bigger hit of a loss than I expected, some urgent repair work that had to be done, the length of time on market, etc. Also reflecting on the social relationships I'd built here, and realizing I only really have two actual friends in PS. The rest have drifted off to do their own thing or the friendship ended when *I* stopped contributing.
