Hallo all. It's been a busy week getting organized for family, due here if not tomorrow late afternoon then early Monday morning. Granddaughter had rented an RV for the trip so she could bring some of daughter's things she'll need for her new place here; went to pick it up this morning, spent all morning doing a walk-through with the owner only to have the generator for the a/c fail before she even drove it away. Lots of frustration at that end of the freeway, so now they're supposed to pick one up tomorrow (at least that's the last I heard). Anyway, I've been sorting through the fridge and doing a lot of laundry and house-cleaning plus tidying up the garden as best I could. Am getting take-out tonight and have a nice Pinot Grigio chilling in the fridge.
Meanwhile, my sister seems to be on a fairly steady decline now with the hospice team giving us a two-week prognosis..... I so wish I could be back there with my BiL and niece. The Arizona trio put off their trip for 2 weeks because I was gone, and now it seems everything will be happening at the same time anyway...
Thanks all for posts - I really have read them all. And thank you Lindybird for the flower show pix. I really liked the arrangement outside the sales office. :-)
Morning all: Survived yesterday - but barely! Next time we'll just hire some young men with muscles.
Heather: Granddaughter has to return the RV by 1pm Friday, so she'll leave before the crack of dawn that morning. Ms. D. will stay here and granddaughter will be back over the weekend and will also stay for the following week. It'll be nice to have them. Ms. D's 2022-23 school year starts August 8 (ridiculously early) but they got out of school in June. I think she'll finish the 6th Grade year at the school she's always attended and then they'll likely come back to California next year when she'd be starting a new (Junior High) school anyway.
I see Rusty has caught Lindybird's repetition bug. :-)
Will check back in later....
Progress I suppose this week. I passed all glaucoma tests, however specialist was reluctant to sign off on medical questions on drivers licence form. I told him my GP believed me &signed off on glaucoma last year, could he please do the medical this year to save me another appt. He did. “See you in 6 months.” I still need to post the form. . .
Yesterday was chaos in our house. Dau#1 recently moved house and now has room for piano. In preparation OH had cleared our furniture & ornaments out of way (a week early!) and we were ready & waiting by 7.30 am. Removalists arrived 7.55 and gone quickly. Then we started vacuuming before restoring stuff. Today somehow I had 2 loads of washing. It is nearly dry (mid pm), so half is draped in our airing room (aka lounge room).
Each month I backup computer on removable hard disc. Today I did the June backup. <She bows to applause>
Just a thought
The line between a collector and a hoarder is a display case.
I am not a hoarder. I just don’t have enough cupboard space.
