Day 81
Tuesday June 17, 2014
This day was not particularly productive, but at least it
was also not depressing. I got a bunch
of random things packed up into small boxes again. For now it’s all I have, so might as well use
them.
A lady called about the pantry cabinets. She seemed to actually really want them, and
I gave her directions to get here. I
went on and emptied out the 2nd cabinet. But then she called .. where she lives (a bit
southeast of me) it was storming, so she couldn’t come. She said she will try to come today. I know I’m gullible; but she was nice, and
polite, and really seems like she wants to buy the cabinets. There seems to be less chance of storms in
today’s forecast, so hopefully she can come sometime today. I also don’t know when the people will come
to get the table and chairs they bought.
I emailed a fair amount with my niece, my brother, and my
DIL. I tried to write my BFF, but I’m
afraid she got the “short end of the stick” … it’s getting harder and harder to
handle email. But thankfully I know she
understands. Maybe once moved I’ll have
decent cell reception .. if so, I won’t need a landline at all. I could change my plan to add minutes, and
then I could just talk to her on the phone sometimes. The drawback to that is that the phone
demands your attention “right now; whereas email can wait until you are able to
get to it.
Too much to try to think about.
I’m still not sleeping good, but last night was a little
better … I woke up to the news instead of Letterman. I only woke once before daylight, and got
back to sleep. I was awake before 6:00,
but didn’t get up right away.
One thing that scres me about moving .. the first time I
wake in the middle of the night I won’t remember where the furniture is, where
the door is, or where the bathroom is!!
My SIL said she would come over today. She said morning, because she isn’t doing
well in the heat and has to be back home in her a/c (and near her oxygen,
though she insists she does “better” by not using it all the time) by the hot
afternoon. I don’t expect her to show up
real early, but I do have to go on and get showered and dressed, and be ready
for whatever.
And yes, I know, I haven’t actually *said* much. I feel totally overwhelmed by everything
right now. I need help with things, but
really, everyone is busy or sick or too far away or ….. or it really isn’t “everyone elses”
responsibility!! This is MY job to do,
and I’m so very frustrated at my inability to do what needs to be done. I know TGF is getting annoyed with me because
I keep telling her I have no boxes … well what am I supposed to do??? There are *some people* who consider
everything I own just crap that I shouldn’t have any trouble getting rid
of. That’s not quite the sort of help I
need!
Anyway, getting late, got to get moving and get things done
today.
