Busy


https://www.agdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/bg-honeybees_pollinator-003.jpg


 I am just a busy bee these days.The ABF (load it yourself and they drive) arrived and we are loading it up over the weekend. Then it will go to Don's storage unit and be loaded some more.

I had already packed quite a bit but there is still what we need to carry on a bit of normal life -- cooking, cleaning, laundry, bathing, dressing, all that kind of stuff. And the dog still insists on attention and exercise.

Then Kevin was in a mountain biking accident and wrecked his right shoulder. I did a cooking marathon to take him homemade comfort foods. I took care of his shopping list and did some cleaning for him. He hurt his left arm as well so it's hard for him to do things around the house and he can't drive so I will be taking him doctor appointments on Monday and Tuesday.

Don's son is helping with the heavy lifting.

Don has doctor appointments on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. His kidney stone surgery is scheduled for October 6. Since the closing on the condo is September 29, we will be staying in a hotel room until he can travel. 

If I ever move again it will be by being carried out on a stretcher.

    I can't say as I blame you. You've had an incredibly busy time of it, especially with the health issues on top of the moving. Best of luck to Kevin as he heals, and to Don as he goes through his surgery.

    Whenever I have thought about moving, I help someone who is moving and that cures my urge.

    I'm so sorry. I say the same thing about moving. I even had people pack and move us and it was horrible, stressful and oh so back breaking. It's in the top 10 things of things not to do and I think that is why so many people tend to stay where they are more than they wish to. Good Luck!

    Moving is indeed a challenge. Emotional goodbyes, physical labor, intellectual remembering of details and lists. I sympathize.

    What an ordeal! Not just the moving, but the necessary things that still need to be done. I hope I never have to move again.

    I sympathize, but when it is all over you will feel refreshed and new.

 On September 29, I had the closing on my condo. Everything that was not going to the buyers was out and packed in the ABF moving truck which had by the been taken over to the storage units. Don thought it would take him until Wednesday to finish packing the truck with the help of his son. It took him until late Thursday with Chris' help and mine. Kevin was supposed to help load as well but he was in a mountain bike accident and wrecked his shoulder the week before. That added driving him to doctor appointments to my to do list and dong some shopping for him plus jobs around the house that might need two functioning upper limbs.  We stayed with Kevin on Friday night after the closing and then had a suite in an extended stay place for the coming week. This was the worst possible time to have to get a room because the prices balloon during leaf peeping season if you can even find a room at all. But it was close to the storage units where we were working and it was dog friendly. We ju

Wedding

 Don and I drove to South Carolina to attend the wedding of my step-grandson, Will. Will Will and Katie The wedding took place on Dataw Island, a beautiful outdoor ceremony followed by a reception in the country club. We stayed in a tiny cottage in the historic center of Beaufort, rented from Vrbo. Since the wedding was at 5 p.m., we had time to explore the area a bit. I really like the low country scenery and historical charm. Sitting quietly in the curtained gazebo I was visited by multiple cardinals. They came to visit the feeder, not me, but I can always pretend! How I will always remember Will!

Rest In Peace

 In a summer that has been so wet, Sunday was a reprieve. The humidity dropped and the sun came out. It was a day that could have been special ordered by the family of a friend's husband. It was the day they had arranged his celebration of life ceremony set on the shore of Lake Champlain. I was not looking forward to the gathering, even couched as a celebration. This is a family fraught with relationship tensions. It turned out to be a beautiful day and a beautiful ceremony. A Catholic priest gave a brief but meaningful homily and two Air Force members played "Taps" and presented the American flag to my friend. I am not a Christian, but I do know about Christ Consciousness. That priest's word's filled me with such a sense of peace and love. I hope it did the same for the family members and neighbors who attended.
