Things are Moving along...

Here I promised I'd post every day, and I have let you all down.  But it was my birthday yesterday, so can you please let me off the hook for that?

Here's what's happened since Tuesday:

We made a date for the carpets to be cleaned.  April 2.  

I got some numbers to call for house cleaning.  Called one, no answer, mailbox full.  Called the other, Ian, and he will be sending us a proposal. Update:  got a proposal back and it's favorable to be done April 3 or April 5.  And we got a $100 discount because Shea recommended the guy.  So awesome! 

We have the disclosure documents, which I've been going through today.  We will get them finalized tonight and sent off tomorrow.  

I started moving stuff out of the bedrooms for the carpet cleaning.  Don't worry, I didn't carry all that stuff out here. I piled it all on a furniture dolly and rolled it out here.  I did more box scooting than lifting.  No harm no foul.  


Here's all the boxes I moved.  They are now in the living room.


The master is now empty,....except for the chandelier and one crate of canned goods that wasn't going ANYWHERE under my power.  Bryan will have to move that.  Also there is my trusty furniture dolly, and the helpful Poor Kitty who wouldn't get out of the frame.  

The closets still have stuff in them.  One has the survival gear and food, and the other has all the suit cases and coolers.  That's my next goal to get moved.  The survival gear is super heavy though, so it might be a Bryan job.  

In case you're wondering about the chandelier in question, see picture above.  This light fixture came with the house, but I love it so much!  It goes awesome with my dinette set and hutch, and it reminds me a lot of my Grammy, who did stained glass as a hobby, then actually taught it to college students in Buffalo.  So I just could not part with it.  We replaced it with a Cheapo Home Depot, and are taking the stained glass one with us.  

Bryan, Allen, and Shawn packed it up on Styrofoam covered pallet and covered it with packing material.  You can see it hiding there toward the back of the master bedroom.  This puppy needs to ride in the car with me to Wisconsin, because I don't trust it to be put in the trailer or truck. 


Here's the Cheapo Home Depot.  Really we got it at Lowes, but I think Cheapo Home Depot sounds funnier.  It's slightly smaller in scale, but has 3 bulbs instead of 1.  I've been enjoying the extra light in my "office".

The Journey Begins

Blog Post for 2/26/24  The For Sale sign went up yesterday.   You see, a blog has to start somewhere.  Perhaps we should have started it with the decision to move.  That would have been, I don't know, several years ago, when we started looking at hobby farms.  Or perhaps when I got covid in 2022 which lead to my heart failure in early 2023, when we really decided to get moving.  Or last summer, 2023, when I was finally able to do things again, and started packing.  I don't know.   I am not sure when we started the whole stuff-purging, packing, and cleaning process in the house.  I have my color journal for this year, started in June 2023, which has packing goals in it for the month of June.  I can't imagine I started any earlier than that, because I had just started back to work the end of April, and it was really kicking my butt, and I couldn't do much more than work, drive, and sleep.  So, maybe the blog should have started then.  I don't know.  But now seems like

Catch Up and Preview

 I didn't write yesterday because it was a crazy hectic day and I was dog tired when it was all over.   I am writing to you from the park down the street from our house.  The cleaning guy banished me while he did his work.  He will be at it for 3-4 hours.  But that's ok.  The place is going to be spic and span for the owners when they take over.  It was really inexpensive to do, so I asked myself, why climb step stools and such, and stress myself out when I could get someone else to do it?  I feel pretty good about it, just saying. Yesterday, I had coaching practice early, before class.  Then during class, I had my final coaching session, where I got tested to see if I followed the protocol.   I was pretty nervous.  No real reason to be, but you know how it goes....seemed like all my practice sessions went great, and I was just waiting for what could go wrong, would go wrong while I was being graded on it.  When you pay a pretty penny for a class, you do not want to flunk it!

Jobs, and the Lack Thereof

 Ya, that last post, I didn't notice that it wasn't updating, and when I went to post it, it was all fouled up.  So I posted an earlier version of it, said "To Heck With It!" and went to bed.  Internet issues will clear up any of this type of issue, going forward.    So, updating you now with anything I missed on the last posting. Today 4/27:  Bryan is unpacking the trailer and working on my dishwasher.  I'm getting office work caught up, and later will be unpacking the boat load of boxes still left to unpack in the kitchen.   Yesterday 4/26:  Bryan had an interview with Super One, the grocery here in Park Falls.  It went well.  The only issue with that job is that insurance doesn't start until the 6 month mark.  I can probably get away with being off of insurance that long, but Bryan can't.  So we will see.  He has also had a phone interview with Kwik Trip.  Issues with that are, there's no openings in Park Falls, so Bryan would have to drive an hour.
