~The Packing Starts~

Ive been packing today and I did get a lot of things

boxed up here in the living room. I really don't have

a lot of stuff to pack as most of it is down the base

ment. I have to make sure the garage is empty there

as I don't want to put the musty smelling things in

the house.. Perhaps they will air out after theyre in

the garage and I think a lot of it that I don't use,

which I havent in two years anyway, I will just get rid

of.. that is really about the only good thing about moving

is that you have to go through everything and then you

can get rid of what you don't need..

Penny only comes 3 days a week for 3 hours so we have

to make the most of her time.. Kelli offered to come up

and help pack and I'm sure Dawn would if I asked.. I

think Penny and I can do it but with only 6 packing days

it will cut it short.. that's why I will in between. But I cant

afford to over do either I sure don't want to be unwell

when I move in.. I really am anxious to move in and knowing

all is well I'm very relieved...

Tomorrow is again a day of phone calls to set up the rest

of the details for the move, mainly the electric and gas.

I know it has an electric stove but I'm not sure if there

is gas there... There are a lot of people to call yet and I

made sure I wrote every one I can think of to notify so

nothing is interrupted or canceled or worse.. I'm really glad

that I can still deal with this COA as I know all of them.

But I have to make sure that all my address changes are

made. Not counting the post office there to see about

putting my mailbox on the front door. The mail box is in

front of the house by the road, I could do it in the summer

but unless its totally clean I would have to depend on

Penny to get the mail, which I don't get that much that

I really have to check it every day. So I may just leave it

like it is ...

I phoned my sis and I relayed to her all the details and

we talked of course, material. She has a few bolts of

lace she bought when she was making baby doll cradles.

So I think I will just make my own curtains. There is

an excellent area in the kitchen by the back door for

my little drop leaf table that I used at the apartment

for my sewing machine and it will fit perfectly there

and it will be nice and bright, and with the dining room

table right there I will have a great place to cut out.

I think it will work out just great.. Then perhaps I can

put my bedroom back to a bedroom and later on see

about a better bed...

We had snow flurries and some sleet.. didn't get too very

warm today, I am glad I decided to rent a truck for this

move. Then I wont have to pack so that everything is

protected from rain or snow or worse like falling off the

trailer like last time. RaeLynn and I were following Dawn

that was following Donnie that was pulling the flatbed trailer

behind his truck.. All of a sudden we saw Dawn swerve over

to the right and one of my bed pillows that Donnie had

stuffed between boxes or something came flying past the

car! I lost 3 pillows and my microwave cart and we have

yet to find my mirror! This will be a much safer move...

Speaking of moving I havent eaten today as I just had too

much to do but I plan to make something, but what, I have

no idea, something not too tedious as my arms are about

worn out.. I did get a lot done today in here, so Penny will

be surprised tomorrow when she gets here. Time to post,

eat and relax first my GORGEOUS WEEBLE "nitey nite".

Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? Love ya and THANKS!!!

Always, Lois ****

"God Bless You" is my prayer today,

I'm honored to call you "friend".

I pray the Lord will keep you safe,

Until I write again...
