Back on Track

Since I haven’t posted in a couple of days, I’m going to do it early tonight. Last time I was here, I was having trouble with my back. I still am. The kids popped the right side back to where it should be but the left side, for the past two days, has been brutal. While I was making them some mac & cheese for dinner I pushed on my lower back until I was standing straight (which I haven’t been able to do) and I felt something sliiiiiiiide back into place. I think it did anyway, because it doesn’t hurt as bad and I can sit and stand without having to drop to my knees first. I do believe I’ve achieved success with the sacroiliac issue. YEA!!

I also sold my extra microwave today as well as the living room tables – the coffee and end tables. My moving fund is growing but still needs to get bigger. All I’ve got left is my dining set, my desk, my TV stand and a small bookshelf. I need them to go. I did have an inquiry today about the desk and even spoke to the interested party. He said he’d call back but hasn’t as of yet. Tomorrow I’ll repost my ads; I’m down to four now so that’s not too bad.

Tonight I’m having a couple of drinks to celebrate my sales successes, my back relief (and hoping the Vodka will help it feel even better), and our pending trip to the KC Zoo on Sunday. I have some tickets so we will take a friend with her daughter with us. If the weather is like it was today, over 100, I’ll just give her some tickets and I’ll take my kids either Monday or Tuesday when the Zoo opens. I’m hoping we can go on Sunday because it’ll be the last day I can spend with my friend before we move.

I can’t believe we’ve only got 10 days left before we hit the road. I actually started working on making this move about nine months ago; nobody responded favorably so it’s down to the nitty gritty now. I’m going to miss my friends, the few I’ve made; and I’ll definitely miss CAPA. That’s been the one and only constant in my life for the past four years and the one thing I hate to leave behind. Friends can always visit; CAPA can’t come to me. I’m trying to convince someone to hook up a computer in there so I can Skype in every Thursday but I think they think I’m kidding. I’m not; I’d love to still have that Thursday night connection. It won’t happen but it’s nice to dream.

Do me a favor, though, please. Send me some positive vibes so that I can get this last bit of furniture sold in the next couple of days. Once it’s gone I can organize my boxes into what goes to storage and what goes to Ellen’s. Then I’ll be doing laundry and packing suitcases; it’s all I’ve left. Send the vibes please and thanks; I really need them. Right now I’m going to sit and relax and watch some TV and have another drink. With a lot of positive energy, I’ll have more to post tomorrow.

Until next time…peace to all.
