Day 123

Day 123

Tuesday, July 29, 2014

I didn’t know it was possible to get any more frustrated, but I was wrong.  I have no idea what’s wrong with my computer, but clearly something is.  TGF checked it a bit .. she has some technical knowledge.  But she was not able to get the email to upload; and it persists in saying my bank account is not available.  I can call the bank; but I can’t do anything about the email and it’s driving me crazy.  I don’t know most of the email addresses I normally use (and if anyone who reads this has emailed me and didn’t get an answer .. try  olgramy@gmail.com  … or call!). 

I did get almost all of the areas in the laundry room cleared out.  I still need to pack my good Christmas china, but it’s out of the cabinet.  And I need to repack the cleaning supplies again.  It goes against my nature to throw out perfectly good stuff;  but there’s only so much room in an apartment, and no one wants hand-me-down left over cleaning supplies.

Because I have so many areas that I haven’t quite completed  It’s hard trying to figure out what to pack and what to wait on, now that it’s getting so close.  And I still have mountains of paperwork that I don’t know what to do with.  I’m afraid to risk throwing out something important; but it looks like I’m going to have to just do the best I can and start throwing that stuff away too.  No one has time to go through it with me, and I just can’t move it all.

The weather forecast for the weekend gets more and more “threatening”, and does not bode well for a yardsale. Anyway, TGF’s “plan” to take a carload daily bombed already .. nothing taken Monday or Tuesday.  The trunk is still full of school supplies.  They’re refinishing the school floors, and she keeps getting told to “wait until next week” to take her things in.  So a lot of books and other supplies keep riding around in the trunk, and the bookcases and other things still in the house (although they are not really in the way).

TGF needed to go by a business to pick up some paperwork needed.  So she decided to just drive to town to get it and take me by to sign the lease.  It would have been a good plan, except that I don’t seem to be in the information loop.  Turns out all the paperwork has to be done over because of a misspelled name.  And, apparently, some confusion over the funds involved.  I understand the confusion; I don’t understand why no one thought I needed to know what was going on.  The man explained it to me, and I understood completely .. and I know exactly what is needed .  Some of the information I had been given was mistaken .. but since this specific situation is “new” to all of us, I’m not overly concerned about that (true, people shouldn’t make assumptions .. but I do it too, it’s just the way it is).  The end result is that I have to come up with more money in one area, but less in another.  I have no problem with that, and can cover it.  I just wish I’d been told.  Oh well, I got out of the house for a day, and got a chance to stop by the grocery store as well.

Eventually someone will bother to get in touch and get it all straightened.  The part that I’m worried about now is that I still have to get to town again to sign the lease once it’s corrected.  And I will only have one chance next week which isn’t a very good option .. to have to make a “detour” before or after my eye appointment, if all is ready by then.  Other than that day I won’t have a way to get there because school starts and I lose my driver. 

I know everything wil work out eventually; but it feels like it’s not going to happen without me feeling like I’m a huge amount of trouble for everyone.  There is so much that needs to be done that I have no way of doing (same stuff: bank, PO, lease) …  I’m still waiting to hear something from the landlord here about someone wanting to take over this house as soon as I’m out.  It would be a great solution to a lot of problems; but we’re all in limbo.  I don’t know what size storage unit I’ll need (or when I’ll need it), and I still haven’t reserved a trailer.  Oh drat.  Since I can’t access my email, I also can’t access the links I had for storage units, trailer rentals, even the apartments.

I only have to make it through 25 more days .. and I just don’t know how it’s all going to happen.

I know TGF won’t be here today unless late in the afternoon she comes to get some yardsale stuff.  The weather for the weekend is looking to be stormy, not good.  And I don’t know where everything is going to go in her house until Saturday either.

I slept better last night .. was tired enough that even the LOUD tree frog didn’t bother me too much (especially after I sprayed Fabreeze – the only thing I could find to grab – in the area he seemed to be).  But that means I woke a little after 5:00; and though I tried, once my mind wakes up I just can’t get back to sleep, and don’t do well just sitting there.  I have to get up and move around.  And since I can’t check email, the “routine” is considerably shortened!

I guess I’llgo on and shower, and then see how many things on my list I can knock out today.
