HALFWAY

Well they are half moved in!  Well maybe not quite half, the moving truck comes tomorrow morning.

Spod was up very early this morning, very very early and was off to the ferry.  He got to the house over there at 11 am.  I guess there was a lot of last minute packing, cleaning and loading going on.  Plus, thanks to the assh**e next door, outdoor drain guys were there putting in a 1700 dollar pipe underground.  But soon they took their last step out of that house and off to the three oclock ferry.

I spent the day running around like a headless chicken trying to get all those last minute things finished.  I needed to sweep out their bedroom downstairs, clean the bathroom down there and get their temporary bed made up.  I also got up here done up too.  April was here only once a long time ago and didn't remember what it was like so it was fun getting it ready for them to see.  Myles had never seen it.

I made them dinner…chicken and dumplings.  Nothing like a good old fattening comfort food for our first meal all together.  I went out to the garage to the freezer for the chicken when I noticed a whole load of groceries on the floor.  A LOT!!  At first I thought it was stuff Spod had brought over from North Van the other day.  But upon closer inspection I found that they weren't from over there.

Spod is never allowed to go to Costco by himself ever again.  Yesterday he needed something or other, I think a giant heater for the garage, and he phoned me from there on his cell.  "Do you need diced tomatoes?"  'NONONONONONO!!!!  We have no room, none, nowhere, no room.  No tomatoes.  I have two cans and when we need more we can get it.'  "Well what about mushroom and tomato soup?"  'NONONONONONO…Spod!!!We have nowhere to put that stuff.'  "What about soy sauce…we are out of soy sauce."  'NO no soy from Costco.  I threw out a half gallon we have had for 12 years just before we moved.  I will get a smaller one at Stupidstore."  

And…out there in the garage, on the floor, right in the way what do I find?  A gallon of soy sauce, huge cheese block, gallon of orange juice, tomato soup, case of baked beans, case of stagg chili, a big box of fruit cups, a third box of St Pelegrino, a bunch of bananas and on and on..oh, and a third litre of half and half.  Grrrrrrrrrrrr!!  I think he thinks we are in Bamfield again.  I mean in five minutes we can be at Costco…lets let THEM store our food for us.

Its late.  I still haven't got out there to take after pics and I still haven't taken living room pics.  I am tired and I am heading off to bed.  The next couple weeks are going to be insanely busy ones.  Dogs to groom, christmas tree to get and decorate, presents to buy, food to plan, laundry to get done, gummy stuff to buy to stick to my hobo's ass to keep him from falling off the shelf in the living room, and a million other tiny minute details.  And, and this is a big one, wrapping all that stuff..(you guessed it…shovel list)  I used to love wrapping, taking great pains over the details etc..but now all I get is a colossal backache.  TTYL
