BOXES BOXES EVERYWHERE


I think I am in shock.  It is 7 pm and I am sitting at the kitchen table surrounded by a million boxes, dirty kitchen, internet that goes in and out like a moon flying through broken clouds.  Thus I am back to using my word processor ‘bean’.  I will copy and paste when the internet is deciding to co operate.
We got over here yesterday right at supper to be greeted by Aryn, who, not only painting our house, also did all the bedding and made the beds (the guest twin beds downstairs) all ready for us.  She also cleaned the house.  I was so so grateful.  And this house looked so amazing..all a delicious vanilla warm cream colour.  The flooring downstairs is miraculous.  It IS laminate but seriously...you would never know.  This place is just so homey.  Oma would have loved it!  We sat around the table (Andrew was there too...so good to see him and he is looking fantastic..loving his new job) and had dinner and wine and laughter.  Was such a wonderful welcome.
This morning I was in for a rude rude shock.  Spod had brought a few truckloads of stuff from the sheds and garage before we left on our trip, with explicit instructions from me to keep it all on the workbench side of the garage.  I needed a clear garage to accommodate all the boxes coming our way this morning.   And yes, you can guess....it was absolutely everywhere all over the garage.  I was shocked and horrified!  And very very pissed off.  So I started to simply pick up every single thing and put it over where it belonged.  It was a long, heavy, dirty f...ing job, fueled by buckets of pissed off.  And in the nick of time I got the job done...as the truck pulled up.
They unloaded lickety split and before you knew it they were leaving and I hit that wall that can only be caused by jet lag.  I still can’t seem to get past 2 or 3 in the afternoon without losing my spine and just simply wanting to go  to sleep.  Monte came down today so he and Spod went off to Costco and I went to bed.  I don’t think I am going to unpack any more tonight.  Not only too tired but my hip hurts like hell.  I do have to go hunt for sheets...can’t find them.  I shall post another entry tomorrow when I am not so discombobulated!  TTYL
