It never ceases to amaze me that I can type out a post, reread it, and the next day if I scan to see what I typed, I invariably will find numerous words that are misspelled. How can I do that? I type slowly so that I can watch what I am typing. I look at the words and spell them as I type. How can I get so many words that are misspelled? Yes, I can go back and edit - but by then a couple people have read it - so why bother.
Made a run in to the office yesterday and met up with my boss and another friend. We got to have lunch together and catch up a bit - which was nice. Then I had an hour and 15 minute drive to get home. Good grief! Don't people know they are to be staying at home? Where is all this traffic coming from in the middle of the day?! I worked at the office some and of course had to jump online again when I got home.
Trying to figure out how this move is going to happen, and if I can / should take time off. I mean yes, I would like to take time off, but I'm not sure how much time I have. Will need to check it out - and see also if I can take time off. But all in all, the big move is happening quickly now.
We got pre-possession of the house yesterday and the electricia is fixing what needs to be fixed. The painters already removed the popcorn ceilings (and I hear in more rooms than they were told to), and are getting ready to start the painting throughout the entire house. THEN the carpeting starts and it may not be finished until Saturday. Come Sunday - which is supposed to be a day of rest - will probably end up being the start of moving day. I hate that, but we gotta get moved!
So now I'm trying to decide if I should take Monday off which will be a big push to get things moved day - or - wait until Wednesday which would be a big unpacking day. I mean I know I will be unpacking all along once we start getting things moved over. I'm tired already just trying to figure out what I can do. Having to work causes a big problem. I have to be online. We are working on getting internet transferred on the 30th - which means I may need to work at my daughter's for the day - then move on into the house. I still don't know where I'm going to be to work at the house.
No one seems to understand that I have to get the furniture in place in order to see if it will fit. I have a feeling I will end up being in the back room to have my office. Especially since hubby took over the front office with the nice big desk/bookcase section for "his" room. I just looked at him and said 'I'm the one that's working' - but he informed me he works on things too. It's like 'whatever'. He would stick me in a closet as long as I bring home a paycheck. Sorry, a little anger there. And I would probably enjoy the space and relish no interruptions.
Long story short - we have to be out of this house midnight July 1 beccause we sign papers on July 2nd and the new owners will be able to move in as soon as they sign. Which means we have to get out so that it can be cleaned. Yeah, I'm nicer than the people who were in this before. They moved out the very day we were to move in - and took their time doing it! Didn't clean anything. Left us a big mess, dirty carpets and all that. We even had to wait outside while they moved their things out.
Internet. Hubby just informed me it will be turned off 11:59PM June 30th and we have to meet them at the new location on July lst for them to set it up. Which means I may be working at my daughter's - or take the time off work. I'm kind of torn on what to do. I may decide to work our holiday July 3rd to just make up my time. I'm salaried, but I don't take extra time without trying to make it up.
Ok - need to look at the calendar and what time I have for vacation and sick time so that I can see if I can possibly even take all next week off to help move us. It would make it more convenient - and yet, there isn't much I can do for I can't move boxes or furniture. Yet, I feel 'lazy' by not helping move things. At 70 years old, I don't have as much strength as I used to - I know that. Need to work on that.
God is busy getting everything lined up for us - He is just moving so fast! We still need to go shopping to get a new mattress and possibly a new bed, and a new washer/dryer. UGH. I'm tired already.
Have a great day!
