One good game I guess does NOT make a season...but oh how good it felt last week versus this weeks Bills game against the New Orleans Saints. Then add my aggravation that my movers didn't show up for the scheduled Sept 23rd packing up of my home. My sister and I were ready for them - and ended up scrambling to find some new people. Couldn't book new people to come till Monday morning Sept 28. So we'll see how that goes. Hopefully we will be on the road tomorrow afternoon and on our way to Florida. It will take us 3 days, we're taking our time.I had plenty of chocolate today...so don't know why I don't feel better about things, usually its a pretty good cure-all.
The Buffalo Bills WON against the BUCs from Tampa. GOOD GAME!! Its nice to have a WIN to reflect on - on Mondays...especially to start the week off here in Buffalo. We do tend to live and breath by the sports teams in town - The Bills, Bisons and Sabres.For my week ahead:I have 2 1/2 days left to live in this house of mine (soon to be NOT mine)...and then I will be in hotel for 3 days and from there, driving on my way to Florida to live out the rest of my life!! (or at least thats the plan)I'll blog again once I have arrived in Florida and get the laptop plugged in...and the chocolate by my side
Soon I will be leaving the only home I have ever owned. My daughters came up from their own homes - my older daughter from Florida, and younger from Indiana - to help me pack up. My older daughter took charge of the "massive" (her words - LOL) Yard Sale. And my younger daughter is packing up the garage and shed & basement too, and moving all of her dads machines and tools to Indiana. The Yard Sale was held Aug 15-16 and dd made over $1100!! Still have things to go to charity.
Setting up for Yard Sale - Friday night - still lots was put out early Saturday morning - folks who came by for sale couldn't believe everything was owned by one person or that it all came out of my house.
Granddaughter washing "stuff" making it all sparkly and sellable
My sister is coming up next week to help me box everything left in the house and she will drive with me in my car to Florida. My younger daughter will be back to load up a moving POD mid Sept.
and then, I will be on my way to Florida (New Port Richey area) by Sept 30th.
Time for a New Beginning is fast approaching.
Hi,I am in the middle of preparing my home to put on the market later this summer. So won't be spending alot of time online or blogging or visiting some of my favorite blogs.I have 40+ yrs worth of accumulation of "STUFF" in my home to go through. My dear late husband also was as much a collector and keeper of everything and anything - as I am. There are lots of decisions to make on what I'll keep and or want to save for my new life in Florida some day.Wish me luck..I'll try to post some pics of my progress.
Update 4/28/2009 : My sister (who came up from Florida for me) helped me go through my clutter the past couple weeks - and I made decisions on lots of items. She packed up 100 small to medium boxes of things "I" am saving and going to put in storage so that the house is less cluttered when I stage it for selling.
Eventually - I'm going to have to hold a large Yard Sale...and then donate what doesn't sell.
Wow what a overwhelming process this whole thing is.
Next week the POD arrives and the boxes will get put in there and then go to a storage place.
Kinda crowded around here now.
