Yessim. It was bad enough learning the difference between a “bathroom” here and a “water closet” in Germany, but at least in GB, I can just ask for the “loo.” And then there is jet lag...

The pills are sorted and the clothes are on the bed, waiting to be folded and put away. I’ll drink my tea, then go comb my head out and wash my face off and be ready to head for Walmart around 0540.

When I get home, I’ll see how I feel and then either pack up the fragile stuff of transfer files. Either way, something will be done towards the move.

I think I’ll have to get a couple of wardrobe boxes this time, though. I saw some on freecycle.com in St George but they won’t fit in the truck and still give me driving space.

My clothes need sorting again for donation. Maybe I’ll get that done today, as long as I’m playing with clothes. Does that count as “packing?”

I think getting rid of things is better than packing!

I’ll need to go to Walmart today, too. Maybe I’ll do that before my WW meeting. But first, I need to find some music pages. Maybe this will be the day I start going through piles of music and other pages. We might have non-family guests for Thanksgiving, and I’ll feel better about it if all the pages get squared away!

GB. I TOYED with the notion of moving there to live in the old family home, Field House Sowerby Bridge, of mid-1700’s vintage, but...immigration and subsequent cash flow thornies impeded.

Over the weekend I began to wonder what it’d be like living in Perth; sort of a “go as far away as possible and get lost” impulse.

I might not mind two or three acres dotted with “tiny houses” each appointed to different purposes; that one’s the Master Suite/kitchenette, those three over there are all kid’s bed/bath/studio loft houses, the garage/shop/pool hall/bar is toward the road with the living/dining/kitchen complex to the right... Some such thing as that with paths, and gardens connecting them.

Crew is here today cleaning and spiffing up the gutters in readiness for The Deulge To Come; it being 2020, yaknow.

I HAVE NOT yet seen anyone offering to sell an Ark...
