Tumbleweed and Troll Wednesday

If I find one more cat hair tumbleweed under a piece of furniture I'll lose my mind. And I can't begin to tell you how much loose change I've found here and there. I think, on average, I'm making about 20 cents an hour. Score!

The organization is coming right along, though am sure a wrench will fall into the works before we depart for DC next week. Did some videotaping of "stuff" this week. Though it isn't HGTV quality, it will do for documenting purposes.

There are canary pads scatttered about with lists, lists and more lists - UAB (unaccompanied air freight), HHE (household effects), in the car, before Monday, sold to be picked up, donate, trash, errands. Pretty soon I'll be scheduling bathroom breaks and showers.

Speaking of showers, I had one today. Score again!!! Let's just say it had been a "few" days and for the trip to preschool this morning I donned a fashionable DS ballcap. And of course it's on days like today that the prettiest, most put-together mom wants to stop and talk to me, right? So here is frumpy me with knockout her, but low and behold she stops me because: 1) our kiddo is adopted and so is hers and 2) she wants to hear about our "exciting" move and Chris's neat job. So though I may have looked like a troll, we are "cool". And hey, at least I jazzed up the do with lipstick before going in. Maybe the dazzling conversation left a more permanent impression than the speaker. One can hope! If it's any consolation to myself, the nice lady at the courthouse said I "got it goin' on" regarding my attire while getting copies of our marriage certificate before leaving Dodge. Hey thanks courthouse lady!

So the organization continues! I am a morning person, so I'm happy to report daily progress is well made before 10AM. The "toss" piles exceed the "keep" piles and the packers may have plenty of time for donuts on Monday.  I'm down to finishing the UAB corner and final touches to the garage, master bedroom closet and bathroom misc. Now if I don't get diverted, we should be all comfortable and ready for Monday.

Our driveway is hilly (steep), curvy and tree lined, so they'll have to shuttle everything to the main road. So while they'll smile at the interior, they'll cuss all the way to the trailer.

Throw a penny in the fountain for us during our first packout!
