I had the most delightful evening last night. 11 of us gathered for a pot roast dinner with the trimmings and then we watched the sunset to the west and the moon rising to the east. Everything I fixed was edible, conversation was lively, and a good time was had by all – I think.
The moonrise was very subtle and hard to see for a bit. The pink moon was full and a beautiful shade of pink while it was low on the horizon. It really started to shine about 30 minutes after it rose.
I took my guests on a tour of the house pointing out things I still needed to get rid of and everyone that came found something that they took home. Yay! More things out of the house that I don’t have to deal with.
One of my guests from last night came back today and took down the TV out of the study and took it and the holding rack from the wall home. I had no clue how to dismantle the holding rack the TV was on so that solved two problems for me.
After he left, I patched all the nail holes in that room and painted over them. One room down with paint touchups and lots more rooms to go.
I went to Emporia late morning. I dropped off yet another load at Salvation Army. I went to see my Chiropractor and got my weekly adjustment. Then I stopped by the design store and picked up the kitchen cabinet and countertop samples that they ordered for me. I also got a sample of the floor vinyl that is going down in the bathrooms and laundry room. I then went to Emporia Fitness for my 50 minute exercise time. We did yoga today and it felt good to stretch out my body.
I stopped for lunch afterwards and then came home. It was a productive trip to town again.
Tomorrow a friend and her guest are coming for lunch. It will be good to see them. He is a handyman and I have one little project I am going to ask him to do for me. I will enjoy having them here for a bit tomorrow.
I may try to get some more rooms nail holes patched and painted today and tomorrow. That is an easy enough project and one I would feel better for taking care of before I leave this house. Still a bit too early to pack most things and that would give me something productive to do until it is time to pack.
Feeling a bit sleepy today. While I was doing exercise I kept yawning and that seems to be continuing this afternoon. I actually got a good night’s sleep last night so not sure why I am yawning so much.
Jason decided not to take the couch that is downstairs. If anyone knows of someone that needs a couch that is in good shape let me know and they can come get it. Otherwise, I am just going to leave it in the house. I can’t handle getting it outside and it won’t fit in my car. I am done with Marketplace and don’t have the energy to deal with selling it.
Friday I go back to Emporia in the afternoon for exercise. Friday morning I am meeting the contractor that is putting in the new central air at the new house. Saturday I can start packing in earnest.
I have a few things to load into my car to take to the new house when I go Friday. The mover wants most everything in boxes and I don’t have boxes that a lot of the pictures that were on the walls can fit in so I am going to hand carry those. We also have to move the plants ourselves. I want to take a cooler of meat to put in the freezer of the refrigerator at the new house as the freezer will have to be off to be moved.
We are possibly going to have some thunderstorms and even some severe weather the next couple of days. Grateful I am not moving during that. So far the forecast for next Tuesday is calling for clear skies and temperatures as high as 81.
Hard to believe moving day is only 6 days away. This deal to sale this house started back in January. That seems like a long time ago. I have been consumed since the end of January with this move. It will be so good to get settled in the new house and get on with the rest of my life.
Sitting in a good head space today. Last night was so much fun and gave me a much needed love lift that will carry me through the move. I am so grateful I am not moving away from this group of friends and they will all still be a part of my circle of life.
Grateful for a wonderful evening with my friends last night, grateful more things left my house yesterday and today, and grateful the nail hole patch/painting job has begun.
