“Mentally, a certain person is now freaking out in the final days & driving me to distraction.”
I was kind of counting on that. ;)
Prayers up for you, my FRiend. Been through this myself moving my Dad two times in three years!
I had to visit my ‘therapist’ this evening ... the furry one (Collie) next door. She has a good effect on my BP & she helps get me out of the “grumps”.
So my brother says “Are you REALLY moving next week?” Well, I expect 2 big trucks, 5 people who can lift heavy things & a very long day next Tuesday, so I think that qualifies as REALLY moving. No idea what he’s thinking.
Spotted 10 wild turkeys in the old riding ring this evening ... one is a “smoke” or gray turkey. The monster buck was out along the fence line eating acorns about the same time - didn’t see him in person, but my brother had a picture. I will miss the wildlife, but we have some at the new house, deer in particular (no bucks spotted yet). I think I saw a coyote in the field across the road - I have certainly heard numerous coyotes ‘singing’ when the emergency siren goes off in town for the volunteer firemen.
Back at the house with another load! Breezy & quite ‘cool’ at 54°. Checking the weather, I see there is a FROST warning from 2 am to 9 am. It’s definitely colder here at the foot of the mountains than it is at the old homestead.
I made it over the Blue Ridge just as the sun was disappearing. After stopping at the store to get some food for dinner, I pulled up in front of the house, turned the truck off, took the key out of the ignition & emailed mom to let her know I had made it OK. Went to grab my keys ... no keys. I checked my lap, felt around the seat, got out (listening in case the keys dropped), checked under the seat, etc. I finally gave up & unloaded dinner & ate it. Back out to the truck ... it was a SAR operation for those keys! I finally found them under the center console ... somehow they had slipped under it from the seat. One mystery solved ... the next is where did I leave my favorite flashlight? I can’t find it at either place & I have looked just about everywhere.
The trailer is backed under the barn because I am not unloading in the dark. It’s too windy to tarp to keep the dew & frost off so I am glad to have the barn. I will unload in the morning & head back for my wifi router which should come tomorrow, load up again & be back Friday. Whew!
Flotzie’s flavor of the week: salted caramel (which I love)!
