Well, sistahs. going to catch my breath & catch you up a little on my "happenings". Had a bloody mary & outstanding bath/soak.. have pizza in oven(gee I hope I dont AGAIN burn it) and will have some cabernet with the pizza. The bloody mary was mrs. T & with some Skye a friend dropped off for me as a "I feel sorry for you" gift. seems a shame to waste Skye on a BM.. but I did & it was great.
Have spent on/off the past four months helping my 93 year old aunt prepare to sell/move. Very hard. She never married or had children & her home/stuff was her family/kids. Giving it all up to move & be with her sister in Fla who would be her care giver has been difficult - to say the least. This is one less burden now here for me as mom's situation becomes more demanding.
The past couple weeks have been heavy duty help & the past couple days .. sunrise to very late very intense work.
I took them to airport late this afternoon (not planning on that but the cab never showed up & after 45 minute wait, we needed to get there as the flight was to leave in 45 min)..
they did get on flight & the ride there was interesting. My van was already packed with "stuff" I was taking. I took somet hings out & had my one aunt sit in the very back of van with oliver(this is the young aunt at 83) Funny thing is she is a super liberal/bush hater & she was right next to my sticker Bush/cheney 20o4!!! the 93 year old was in the passenger seat "helping with directions". I have NO back seats in this van. It is the one I use for hauling, bikes, kayaks etc. my utility van more or less.
Lots of more Murphys here on home front (including sleeping in my van last night. (DONT ASK)...)]
computer again being naughty..another understatement.
One good thing is that I picked up some pans from my aunt which will make up for the MANY pans I have burned this year while FReeping.
Last night LATE I took a mattress to Wheelbarrow. He has been on same mattress for 50+ years!.. the mattress of my aunts was maybe 20 years old but only slept on maybe a dozen times. This is my 93 year old fanatical cleaning aunt (washes the inside of her furnace twice a month & moves refrig/washer/driver weekly to clean). I obviously did NOT get those genes.
Wheelbarrow told me this AM he slept thru the night for the first time in years. His mattress was awful,old, heavy. I dragged it out for him to dumptster & set him up. She threw out several other good sets but I didn't have enought time to contact folks.
going to check pizza.. I am hungry! no food yet today. but alas I am NOT wasting away unfortunately
