Day 119
Friday, July 25, 2014
I am looking forward to the new adventure of sharing an
apartment with my niece. But I have to
admit, by last night I was glad to be alone for awhile .. seems like the last 2
days were a constant round of people in and out, and at least some of the time
at random times. It’s not that I wasn’t
perfectly happy to see any of the people who came by … it’s just that there
were so many; and that’s so unusual!
Actually, most of the day it was just DN and I and pretty
much quiet. I got some things packed;
unfortunately, I still didn’t cross many things off my list, even though
everything I did needed to be done. I
just keep finding things I never thought to list. L
I don’t think DN felt very good, and was sleepy; but it was
all right because she did help me sort several things I needed to purge a bit
more. We decided not to send the rugs
with her after all, since she hasn’t decided yet what she wants. I guess I have
to just wait and see if what I want will fit in after she makes her
decision. So, just something I have to
learn to live with. In some ways I feel like my whole life has had to revolve
around someone else’s wishes, and mine always take 2nd (or 3rd or 4th)
place. But at least I will have a room
of my own and can do what I want with as much as I can cram into it!
Late in the afternoon DN’s friend J (FJ) came to get
her. I made hamburgers for supper (yes,
I did say that *I* did it .. and they turned out good!!). TGF managed to get by to drop of DGS15 for a
last quick visit before DN had to head back home. I also got to meet BGS16’s girlfriend
(BGSGF??), who is a very nice young lady.
TGF and a bunch of kids left to go to VGS. A little later, after DN had headed home and
TGF was gone, DSS got here to pick up DGS.
There had been some fishing gear out in the barn that they collected to
take to DGS21, whom they will visit tonight when they take DGS15 back home
(nearly time for school to start for him).
As I said, once everyone left, and it was quiet, it was
nice. Even Maggie thought so, as she
came and napped in my lap .. while I fell asleep and saw almost nothing of TV
shows!
I woke early, naturally.
I’m not sure I’m completely awake yet, but will get a shower soon; and
another cup of coffee. I really hope for
a good burst of energy to get a lot done.
Now that I have boes, I want to completely finish packing up some areas
that are *mostly* done. I’m not going to
mess with the yardsale stuff yet. TGF
informed me that she has decided that we’ll do the last yardsale next weekend,
will do it at her house (which is not a bad location, but I’m concerned it’s
not quite as good as one where a lot of people go). The concept is that she can be taking car
loads of stuff to her house all week to get ready. My hope is that one of the dealers she
contacts this weekend will buy it all and we won’t have to bother!! I have an uneasy feeling she doesn’t think
that will work, which I find discouraging.
One dealer actually advertises he will sell yardsale stuff .. but the
unknown is whether he will buy it outright,
or just sell on commission. And
will he pick it up! TGF is out of town
today with a friend, so I’m not sure if the dealers will actually even get
approached. And since one of them she
was going to ask when he set up (maybe she’ll remember to do that before they
leave today), and the other no one will give me the information so I can call …
so as always, I’m a little “trapped”. I
do know she means well up to a point.
She wants to “help” me. It’s just
that any help has to be on her terms and fit in around her schedule.
I move in only 29 more days.
I need to go on and get this day started one way or another!
