As much as I like cat-sitting, I have to admit that we sleep better when there’s no cat in the house. We slept IN until all of 6:30!
Reunion
We had a nice family reunion yesterday. Katy & Melanie are back from their Florida trip, all happy and refreshed. Melanie’s cold is still nagging at her but she’s a lot better than she was the night before we left. Somehow she failed to see any humor in my comment that untreated her cold would last 14 days, and treated the cold would last 2 weeks. What’s the matter with these young people nowadays…. they ‘ain got no sense of humor!
Poetry
You’ll find another poem online now. Peggy wrote one about Vendella (the kids’ cat). She’s been trying to write one for Michael (our son in law) but that poem seems to keep getting sidetracked by other things. I think the problem is a lot about Nana not knowing what to rhyme with the automotive and furniture terms Michael uses. His interests are sort of out of her wheelhouse.
Today’s chores
For me it’s a day of catchup. I spent much of a couple days working on taxes and medicare stuff so there are things I’d planned for this week and today is a nice quiet day to get around to those chores.
We still have not heard anything about the R/E deal, or the inspection contingency. As mentioned before, perhaps they will not actually do the inspection. We’ll see; just so there are no snags.
We’ve been kinda talking through the next few weeks and I think that this period of time coming up may be the most difficult yet. Once we get past the inspection contingency we are having people in to do an estate sale. We need to make final decisions on what we are keeping, what is going with us in Journey, and what gets put into storage with Katy and Michael (not much). We aren’t having any problem with the making of decisions; it’s just something that needs doing — and some hard choices.
It might be easier if we actually had a mental concept of how much stuff will fit into Journey! We really don’t have any concept of how much will fit, what we might regret saving, or what we might wish we had saved. It’ll all work out, and I’m sure it will work out without a lot of fuss — it just needs doing.
I’m sure the next few weeks will see quite a few trips over to the storage yard where Journey is waiting for us — glad it’s only a couple miles down the road.
And, if I get testy or discouraged, all I’ll have to do is think about all the wonderful sites we’ll be seeing soon enough…..
