YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so excited!!!!  I am now typing this on  my new desk.  I LOVE it!!!  And it looks fantastic.  Once I get it all set up I will take a picture and show you.  I know that living over here in Victoria has seriously cut down any friend/relative traffic through my house so pics and a blog will have to do.  This desk has given this purple room a whole new purpose.  I think I want to go back to work!!  Now I need to make up a whole new batch of files for all the mortgages we bought with the proceeds of the sale of our house.

Its funny but I am missing my mom today.  I think its beginning to sink in that she is gone.  This is normally about the length of time since seeing her last that I would start making plans to go see her again.  It feels sad that I won't ever see her face light up when she sees me come around the corner.  And right to the end she was jokey and funny.  The visits were always loving and enjoyable and I miss them and her.  This may sound silly and ridiculous but I love having her right here in the room with me.  Monte gave me a beautiful candle a year ago and I light it and talk to her.  Its very cathartic.  I tell her stuff I would never have told her when she was alive…and I imagine what she would be saying back.  Its pretty funny sometimes!

I am soo tired now.  I think I wore myself out.  The muscles in my legs, top to bottom, hurt (in a good way) from use the last two days.

At one point Monte and I were in purple room, the door was shut to keep the cold air in here.  Suddenly we heard a tremendous crash, bang, metal hitting the floor.  It went on and on and on.  Finally Monte and I realized that something more than normal was happening so we became galvanized and tore out to the living room…to see an upside down Spod on the floor over beside the wood stove.  Apparently he was burning stuff, lost his balance and over he went, hitting every metal fire implement on his way down.  Poor Spod.  Then he couldn't get up.  We tried and tried and finally Monte just bent down, put his hands under Spod's armpits and scooped him up onto his feet.  He had to sit on the couch right there for quite a while to regain his equilibrium. 

Around 3 in the afternoon Monte filled up his truck to the total maximum and headed off to Port.  I can't believe that I paid good money to move all that stuff over here…just to get rid of it.  Same with the last clean out I did.  What is wrong with me!?  Clearly I have no problem throwing stuff to the wind.  I think, when I sit here a remember what it was like before we moved that it may have something to do with the fact that the whole house had to be packed and ready to move in less than 3 weeks.  Some of the stuff has been hard to get rid of I must admit.  When that happened I just pictured those women in the tv show Hoarders not letting their stuff go.  The majority of them were fat (check) messy awful hair (check) dressed in dirty awful clothes (check) missing teeth (check) always sitting down (check)…..and that is just one check too many.  So I threw the stuff out.

After Monte left Spod and I went to the bank to arrange our LOC.  I thought Spod had all the paper work but he didn't..and couldn't remember where the stuff is etc…Even he admits its time to hand all the business work over to me to keep track of.  I get so impatient with him, which isn't fair really.  But I get awfully tired of "I don't know."  That seems to be the most common answer to every question thrown his way.

Now its time to clean this place.  Its covered…100% covered, in dog hair.  At least we don't have to deal with pine needles much anymore.  And its really nice to be able to lay hands on stuff now.  Anywhoo….more tomorrow.  TTYL
