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.

It's TIme

 It's been a while since I have posted anything and even my reading your posts is falling by the wayside. I am in Florida now. I have a yard where little attention was spent on landscaping for the past years so I am slowly and (somewhat) methodically addressing that. I also volunteer to work at the pollinator garden and the edible garden I helped install at the UU grounds and I took over the volunteer job of cleaning out the overgrown community garden by my neighborhood mailboxes. The neighbor who was doing that got sick and could no longer attend to it. It's a bigger job than I'd thought at first -- not only overgrown with weeds, but the plants that are wanted there are in life and death competition for each others' spaces. And two walks a day, morning and evening, so Levi can keep up with addiction to canine social media and a daily rousing came of stick or ball midday take up another chunk of my time. I have a weekly meditation group that I co-facilitate, and my own ...

Life Goes On

There is nothing like a visit from the grand children to remind one that life goes on.  I spent Friday night at my daughter's and then brought the kids back home with me.  I did not get to see so much of them this past summer and it was a birthday gift to my daughter (who just turned 40!) to have a couple of days to herself. She probably spent them in her son's room playing Lego StarWars.  Dane tried to teach me how to play this video game--a hopeless task if ever there was one.  "Concentrate, Grandma!  You have to concentrate!"  I do have a hard time with sustained concentration lately, but in this case I had no clue what it was that needed concentration.  He finally took the controls away from me (thank-you!). It's amazing how long he can amuse himself at my house being out side on a scooter or helping me in the yard, especially if it involves a hose.  Inside, they both sit and draw or craft for hours.  Just before bed, Dane did say, "N...

New Furniture

 We went shopping for a new couch. I liked this one, the first store we went to. Of course it would be an impulse to buy the first one so we trekked around to other stores -- something we liked more, a better deal? No surprise that we ended up going back to that first store the next day and purchasing that couch for our living room. Also a matching love seat for the den where we watch TV. Because I had replaced my old love seat with two recliners. We couldn't keep three households worth of furniture after all. Well, my recliner was not big enough to accommodate both Levi and me. Poor boy had to watch TV from his bed on the floor. There! This is much better! Spoiled much? The little tail on the floor belongs to his toy squirrel, Buddy. It's like having a toddler with the need to be picking up toys or risk tripping over them. But his very favorite play thing is that bathmat that can be found anywhere but the bathroom floor.
