I have now removed subjects on the new house. As per usual I am excited about moving, I find moving something I like. But now that I am home in my cozy townhouse in my familiar surrounding town and people, the sad side of this move is descending on me. I am so going to miss my family here and my friends. When it gets a little overwhelming, I just shut my eyes and decide where I am going to put stuff in my new house and what bedroom I am going to use blah blah blah. It helps.
And I haven't really taken super good care of myself over the last while and now I must. So I have made a mammogram appointment, the first one in years, and I am eating humous and carrot sticks instead of junk, and I am thinking about the gym I will join with Monte in Port. I am not sure why I care more about staying healthy for someone other than myself, I just won't think about it.
I spent a night at April's on the way home. It was her 31st birthday. Aryn and Bradley came over on the sea bus and met us down on the pier in a lovely restaurant for dinner. We ordered this absolutely amazing seafood tower---which is a little off kilter as April is allergic to half of it! But holy cow! it was fantastic...oysters on the shell, big fat prawns, candied salmon, lobster tails, crab legs, mussels, scallops, tuna, lox, all sorts of sauces and clarified butter. And that was just the appetizer!!! We had so much fun and laughter.
I came home to a pristinely clean home. Clearly Alice has been here! Other than making the beds upstairs and tidying up the closets and top of the stairs heading downstairs, there really isn't much to do to get this place ready to sell. The neighbour's place sold in five days, back before xmas. But already the dog hair is showing up and I have only been home for 12 hours.
The next few days are going to be busy Kiwanis days. Tomorrow night is Trivia Night...so much fun! And this weekend it looks like Iris and I will be doing about 5-7 Gift of Grad appointments. And I know my Cracker Jack real estate gal, Amy, will be doing open houses and showings. Wrangle Dangle will be doing some serious Tank time .
Well I just put in a call to my good good friend Anne. I have to tell her I am moving and its not going to be a happy moment. We already got separated for years, which is sad for a friendship. But now here we go again. I will have to spend as much time with her as possible over the next few weeks. This is the hard part about moving. We will have to go to lunch at 'our spot', The Stockpot. They have an old schooly salad bar. Which we love of course.
Well I had best get off my duff and go start doing those things that need doing. I think the biggest bonus living with Monte is that he likes, actually likes, doing errands. He is happy to do the shopping, mail, picking up prescriptions etc etc etc! I hate it! I will feel spoiled. TTYL
