Hard to believe?
I segue...(Sissy was so sick with vertigo when she came to me five days earlier that I was very concerned. She should have called and told me but came anyway! What a trooper! And she was absolutely no help in those five days! Well maybe not I do not really remember, so much to do. But I had rented a hotel suite close to the house and took her and the Cats to the hotel and dumped her! She knew I need her for moral support and the drive across country)
And we made it! Five 10 hours days and four nights with screaming Cats (at least three hours every morning and a lot of laughs)!
The true miracle is we found our house less than a week later and it was purchased in less than 10 days!
Now it did take us another six weeks to truly move in.
It has been a real transition, not so much for me, but the Husb has had issues.
My take and Sissy's also are he was too young to retire. Husb is four years younger than we are and he just was not ready.
(Yes, I robbed the cradle, but we have been married over 40 years)!
He retired only two weeks before we left the east coast and was only able to do this as he has a Military retirement and our health insurance was in place!
Going from almost 3000 square feet to about 1600 was too much for him. But He picked out the House, remember the Holy Medal in the basement? Had to buy it! I choose my battles lightly!
Fast forward to today.
We worked five hours in the yard and things are coming along. Just little things that need to be done as we have to wait until late August to have sod placed. But we are finishers and Husb is a perfectionist so the little details matter.
I am exhausted and I see a long soaking bath this afternoon and Pj's and then binge-watching Netflix and an early to bed.
I was going to make pork chops for dinner tonight, but they can wait another night. I see a cup of noodles in my future. I truly think they are a horrible food, but in a pinch they work. As my grandmother used to say, "they fill a hole"! Husb is so on board with this!
I did make egg salad for lunch and ran some up to Sissy. She has a busy day and evening, and I brought some Geraniums (very small) that she had planted from seed and put them in pots at the rear of the yard and we shall see.
Now I am going to sign off and go run a tub!
Hugs, Kay
Wow, a lot has happened in a year!
