Well, we are still frantically packing and throwing stuff away and giving stuff away. Seems like we still have a lot to do. But we have to be out or our place before 03/01/09. Don't know how we are going to do it. I'm one that needs to know what to do and when to do it but I am in a deep deep fog. There is still so much and so little time left.
My cousin has finally got the people out of the house in Saint Johns, Arizona but......!!!!!!! The place is almost destroyed. Floors ripped up, hot water tank ripped out, well pump and pipes ripped up, bathroom fixtures ripped out, stoves and flues gone and junk everywhere. I'm too busy here in Irvine that I can't deal with all that needs to be done there. Shorty, my cousin, is in Phoenix trying to get needed things so that the house is livable again. So I may need to spend more time in NE Arizona than I wanted. But then I stop and realize, WE'RE RETIRED, and not in any real need to hurry anywhere.
Every body wants to do things with Billie, which is great, but it takes away from the real tasks at hand. I just can't work as many hours on my feet as I used to, nor can Billie. And it seems like it is taking twice as long to sort thru things instead of just packing them. But it must be done because we can't take that much along in the motorhome as we would like. Eventho, we are taken a lot. We have a lot of storage underneath as well as inside. Of course, all that weight uses up more gas. I keep telling myself, this is just a short time and it too will pass and everything will work out the way it is supposed to. But being the planner that I am, I just get frustrated when things are not moving as I think they should be. I guess it boils down to that I just want to go!!!! Just another week; if we can hold out or our bodies can hold out. Whoever said retirement was easy; I think that was Carol Phelps or Sue LaBar.
It may sound like I am complaining but I really am enjoying it all; tho exhausted.
