Great to see you TML. Good for you for getting your pies done early! Have a great day I got showered and dressed, dailies done, and I vacuumed the 2 closets, bedroom and spare room, which included moving a few things along the way. Next up: wash parquet floors in both closets call garage to try to book appt for snow tires to go on, and start dusting the LR entertainment unit.

Well I got the parquet floors and baseboards in both closets washed. I got the LR entertainment unit (4 pieces) all dusted (finally) including the top from a step stool, and the glass doors and shelves all windexed. I also called the garage - again. After all of their spiel last week about no openings until next Thurs (Dec 4), and for me to call when I got my next schedule (yesterday)- and then telling me today that they are all booked up until the next week (after Dec 8), unless I could leave it with them all day Tuesday because they couldn't give me a set time to do it - (note I used to leave my car with them because they would give me a ride home or to my former office) - I said I no longer lived near there and it wouldn't work, BUT if I found someone that could do it in the meantime, could I arrange to come and get my tires. Then they suddenly could move things around and I could come in Tues (Dec 2 at 3PM, and have it done while I waited! What a bunch of hooey! I didn't matter at all until I said I'd go elsewhere.
So next up - I think I will have a bagel for lunch and some soup. Sort out laundry to wash later Find some paperwork in my file and make a call re money owing.

Well, they took you for granted, hollyhock, and did not make an effort until you have told them you would go somewhere else. Workmen now do not seem to care about customer service any more. I took your suggestion and am listening to yet another audiobook - managed nearly whole one yesterday and finished it in the morning and now I am working on my jigsaw puzzle - 1000 pieces, the picture is a cover of Maskerade by Terry Pratchett, My friend gave it to me as a Christmas present several years ago. I am glad your internet is working well again, OnTheMend

I've gotten very L___ since lunch. To be honest, I just want to stay home!!! I hate having to go out every day - I don't know but it seems like I have had to go out every day since a week or two before my move. So today that is the last thing I want to do! I have stuff for at least 2 more suppers, so I will manage - and tomorrow I start work at 4:30, so I think I will just hit a bank on the way in, instead of a total trip out today. I don't want to dress up!
So I had my lunch. I sorted laundry. I really have more to do than I like to tie up machines for - so I decided to just do 2 loads. But when down there, again, it looks like only 1 machine was in use, so when I came back up I decided to just get it done! And I have now packed up 2 more loads that I will do using the same machines, once done. That will leave plenty for anyone else - and get that out of the way!
I don't know what I want to do - I go into my spare room and I just feel overwhelmed. I need to wipe down the shelves, if I can get to them. There are too many boxes and things in the way. I don't want to unpack books yet, my ds is going to set up the TV in there soon and he may need to move the shelving units to get to the plugs and cables, so I will leave it all empty.
I guess what my next plan will be is: wipe down 1 shelving unit in spare room find other tote of tax files and move into closet (1 is already in there) switch loads 1 and 2 to dryers, start loads 3 and 4 in washers

All the laundry done. Washed dog's dry food container + measuring cup. Took off dead batteries from my personal scale (after procrastinating with it for over 6 months, because they are hard to get off), and wrote the battery type to my shopping list. Also wrote another battery type I need to the list. Tidied dinner table a bit. WEnt through my books seeing if there is anything to get rid of, but I can only see one series I'd like to get out of here. I need to start asking around if someone wants them.

Winding down here. I wiped down 1 5 shelf unit in spare room. I moved a lot of other things. I managed to get the tax paper totes, and the memorabilia totes into that closet. I looked at a few more boxes but I'm at a place where I'm still working on where I want things to go. Things are still all over. And 4 loads of laundry are now all washed and dried.
So for tonight - I don't know Supper 2 days worth of Bible reading Put away 4 loads of laundry

dtesposito jendela ohblondie flotsam hollyhock TML lucie OnTheMend cyn def6 -- I hope you all had a nice week and a Happy Thanksgiving (for those who celebrate). I have kept you all in mind... but haven't had much time to be on computer. I did post some in saffron 's November thread in Private Blogs... so this will be repetitious if you read in that thread. My last post, here, was on this date -- Nov. 25th.... but this is follow up from that one... I did read everyone's posts, here, but my memory sucks!Nov. 25th -- Tuesday -- One of my Brothers & my parents flew in on this day. My DS is still here on this day.Asked DS to set up air mattress for my brother. It was going to go on top of the Sofa Sleeper in the Office. I was quite stressed when DS said the pump was broken. I had wanted this to be done well in advance. Aarrgghh! DS bought another pump & was able to get in inflated. Whew!
Showered2shoes Put linens on Sofa Sleeper. Took all Giveaways to Good Will -- Big stack of DH's old jeans, small pile of clothes, 2 big bags full of stuff Met DS at the airport. (We had to take 2 vehicles as DS's trunk was too full & my car is too small. So, different than the vans that DH and I had for most of our married life!!! Had not even thought about that problem so considered myself very lucky that DS wanted to help out and pick up and was excited to see his grandparents and uncle. We picked up my Dad, Mom and Brother. Later tonight, DS left to go home. I will surely miss him!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CD

Looks like Leechblock ate my post. Thanks everybody for your ideas! My Ex has been trying to dig the MS Office activation key from the registry of my old computer, so I have not lost all my hope. Alas, he has not succeeded so far.
I put dishes soaking and already washed most of them. I really should type a list...

OnTheMend -- it's my fault! I renewed an old thread to update from during the last week. I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving. I'm just updating, here. I had a nice Thanksgiving and I hope all of you did too! Wednesday, I made the Turkey and it came out really good. We just relaxed and enjoyed each other's company most the day on Wednesday. At night, I went to Wal-Mart for some more groceries. So, on Wednesday morning, my brother said the air mattress deflated at some point & he woke up pretty uncomfortable. But he felt good and had a good night's sleep. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On Thursday, I made Dressing, Spinach Casserole and Candied Yams. It was a delicious filling Thanksgiving.
