Imagine wildebeest, so very fine

posted in Uncategorized |

The dotter has been singing “Happy Together” with the Turtles CD in the car, but she doesn’t have all the words down quite right yet.  I thought the post title was especially fun.

One and Only True Love stopped by with his mom and dad to present an oh-so-sweet piece of artwork, full of hearts and and flowers and “best friends”, to the dotter.  So OAOTL’s mom and I sat around chatting, while dad went off to look at yard sales, and then, when he returned, he asked what we were going to do with the Trusty Justy.  Sold!

Then they hauled the dotter and her bike off with them for an afternoon with OAOTL.  Ah, joy!  Another few hours of being able to pack and paint and clean (even more) without the dotter underfoot!

OmegaDad and I have a yin and yang thing going on.  Remember how totally freaked out I was?  Well, now that we have less than a week (the packers are coming on Thursday, the loaders on Friday), and we’ve painted and fixed up bathrooms and hallways and had Merry Maids in to scrub cabinets in the kitchen, and removed many boxes from various spots of the house and tossed a large quantity of stuff, I am feeling much more relaxed.

OmegaDad, however, was all laid back and nonchalant when I was uptight, and is now frantic.  “We have only four days left!  How are we going to get everything done in time!”

Hah.

Well, it doesn’t help that the paperwork that the residential property handling company sent us had both our names misspelled.  I noticed that mine was wrong right away, so called up to have them FedEx us a new packet.  Then OmegaDad read it and noticed right away that his name was incorrect, too.  So they have to send us yet another copy of the packet.

But things will get done.  And I see the light at the end of the tunnel.

    There’s a certain calm when you have a deadline like that… You do what you can, and it’ll go out Friday whether you are ready or not. What an adventure you are in for!

    so, how long do you figure you will be offline for? see how i have no concern for you moving everything on such short notice but i am very concerned about how long it will be until I can read about the move!? good luck with it all. i can not even imagine having to do it so quickly. kris

    My advice is to go out and get yourself a large blizzard at DQ. My favorite is banana split but they have all flavors. I find I can do anything with enough ice cream. good luck this week.

    I’m glad you’re feeling calmer and I hope the rest of the week goes smoothly. I can’t believe how quickly this all happened for you. Wow!

    It has been amazingly fast, esp. for the feds — but yes, that old Shakespeare quote does apply (”best it were done quickly”), like pulling a tooth or a bandaid off, frinstance. Sure do hate to see you go, tho!
