Went to the new house before 9:00 this morning to meet the crew that is installing central air. They showed up around 10:00. When I went back at 3:30 they were still at it and not sure they could finish today. They will have to come back Monday to finish up if they can’t get it done today.
I came back home after the guys got oriented to where things are at the new house. I packed a few more boxes and found some more stuff that needs taken to the Salvation Army.
Went to Emporia at 1:00 as I needed to go to Walmart and then exercise. While I was at the new house this morning I attempted to hang a shower curtain. The rod I ordered didn’t work. It said it was adjustable but it didn’t adjust to the width I needed. I picked up another one at Walmart and a few groceries I needed.
Went to exercise. Man it was hard to go today. Just wasn’t in the mood to exercise but I made it through. Not a fun session by any means but I was proud of myself for showing up. I almost called and canceled and decided I couldn’t let myself do that.
Went back to the new house when I was finished with exercise to pay for the new central air. The guys are to remove the window A/C unit and I reminded them not to forget that. It is too heavy for me to take out of the window. I will give it away once it gets to the porch. Anyone need one?
I told the guys I would come back later and lock up the house. I’m tired today and didn’t feel like hanging around for an hour or more while they finished up.
I was to have gotten a call from the moving company yesterday or today so they could take payment for the move on Tuesday. Their email had said I had to pay a minimum of 48 hours in advance of the move. I called them this afternoon as they didn’t call. The guy that handles the payments was out of the office today. The guy that did the bid told me they would call me Monday and take care of it. Wish they would do what they said they were going to do the first time. Hope I don’t run into issues not paying 48 hours in advance.
Tomorrow late morning I am meeting Phil at the new house and he is going to unhook the washer and dryer and take them to Michelle. While he is there I need to ask him about the hot water heater. We noticed today that it is leaking. It will probably need replaced. Dang it anyways. My unlucky streak with house repairs is bleeding over to the new house already. Hoping this is the only thing that will be an issue.
While I was at the new house, I noticed the internet hookup box had a wire coming out of it that has a strange plug on it. I called the internet service and found out there should be a modem that the strange wire attaches to. Evidently the renter took the equipment with her when she moved. They are coming Monday morning at 8:30 to bring another one and get the internet up and running. I’m grateful I noticed it today so it can get taken care of early next week.
I managed to get the new shower curtain rod up and the shower curtain and liner put up. The second try was easy and I’m grateful that little job is done.
We are in a tornado watch for this evening and tomorrow evening the possibility of tornadoes is even higher. Yikes! Trusting this house won’t suffer any damage. i don’t think I would handle it well if it does.
A week from today I will officially be done with this house. We close next Friday at 1:00. That will be a huge relief to me to get the check for the sale of this house. It has been a lot of work to get to this point these last couple of months. Hoping next week is easier than the last couple of weeks have been.
This has not been an easy day for me. Things have felt hard and I am tired. I’m glad to get my grumpy day over with as the next couple days will be busy with packing, etc. I can feel the change in the weather and the pressure changing. Making me a bit restless and anxious this afternoon. The wind has been in a big hurry today. One thing I will not miss from living on top of a hill is the sound of the wind.
Need to go down and do chicken chores. Seven more days of doing them and then I will be done with them. I will miss the cash stash of the money from selling eggs. Won’t miss the daily grind of doing chores and will especially not miss the monthly coop clean out.
Tomorrow I need to get down to the barn and get it ready. I have a mess to clean up down there and then I need to make sure what I am taking is piled up together so the movers will know what goes. I have the garage ready, I think. I will also go downstairs and do any last packing from there and make sure things are sorted and piled so the movers will know what to take.
Sunday and Monday I will finish packing the upstairs. I will close the kitchen and get it packed Monday morning. I’ve waited to do the kitchen and bathroom as I use those things daily. I will pack a bag Monday morning and then pack everything else. Sure will be glad when everything is out and in the new house. I’m tired of waiting for the move to happen.
Grumpy day. Good thing I haven’t had to be around many people today. I think I will put myself in time-out for the rest of the day and not try to do anything else. I need to get grounded and centered and prepare myself for a busy week next week. All is well even when I am out of sorts.
Grateful I managed to make myself go to exercise today, grateful the shower curtain is hung, and grateful the new house will have central air when I need it when it warms up.
