We slept 30 mins past the alarm this morning. I should mention Emily has been sick with a flu/cold thing since Sunday and is still working. She is cray cray.
Finally out of bed. There is enough organization that we can feed dogs and us and shower and dress without once yelling “where is my…” so things are going well.
Today, on my out, I stopped for coffee at Pure Grains Bakery. I know, earth shattering. But hear me out. Years ago, and for many years, we used to come by here for ye pastry’s they make. The place is off the beaten path a bit but we had found it because Emily worked out nearby. She stopped using that gym and we quit the bakery. Well, I now drive right past it, within 50 feet, twice a day. Since we have no coffee maker, I stopped therefor the first time in 10 years. I went on a little spree, bear claw, marble cake, three pretzels, coffee. Ok. A big spree. I am going to have to go a little Soup Nazi on myself. No pastries, two years!! Great place. Be back for coffee in am.
Next stop, old house. I can not get the hell out of here. It’s like The Godfather, Michael screams “every time I try to leave they keep pulling me back in..”. Dramatic.
I spent a couple hours working on packing. No, really. It’s gonna drag over to tomorrow it sounds like. My mover is actually moving now too. He has to pack his house. It eats into his work day. At least we understand each other. But he believes he will be out Thursday early. Bout damn time.
I have been in contact every day with Granite Bay Estate Sales. They are worried I won’t be ready for the sale. They need to relax. Hey Tim, I’m ready, relax. Our sale is next Thursday through Saturday. I can hardly wait. That is the END of moving. Plus a little walk around money and $$ for mover Todd. And less to do every day. I think that’s a good thing.
I’m not sure I mentioned yet. This morning my loaner car was dead in the garage. Wonderful. The only good thing was it died at home. Everyone wants that. I have road service on my insurance, I called and they set it up. I got text messages from the company. They said 35 mins. I got an auto call later, voice says less than 5 mins so don’t call. Well, 15 mins later I called. Got the driver. He apologized for the whole bs system. He knew it would be 1 hour +. Somehow their system cant convey the truth. So I sat over an hour. He got here and I started the car. Easy peasy. Driver told me that he jumps a lot of brand new cars, this one has 7k miles, because they sit on a lot for 30 days without any long drives to recharge battery. Then placed in service and new owner does no long drives and bam! the battery craps. New knowledge, day is no longer a waste. This was the start of my day. So move this paragraph back in my day. In your mind.
After I left the house (old), missing first appointment, I headed to office for the balance of my day. I have more appointments and the usual. Life does not change, it just moves and gets different. I was at work till 7 I think, not to late. Again, doing that voodoo that do so well. Anyone watching would be asleep in moments. You say no way? Sorry, you are wrong. I have had, over the years, more than one person fall asleep in the office during an appointment. I wish I could do that at the doctors about the time he wants to make me a finger puppet. It would be useful.
I did go straight home. Old home. What else do I have to do? Picked up a few things and headed to new home.
Emily seems better. That’s nice. She had already eaten, it’s late. I ate leftovers since we have not made dinner here yet. Someday. We chatted for 10 mins and went to bed. Again, we live on the edge. It’s tiring there.
Ugh. You are re-enacting our January. 😞 After our final trip out of the old house, I had to decompress. I could not shake the feeling that I was going back to the old house for another load. I feel your pain. 😟
