I'll Be Back on Friday

After tonight’s post I won’t be back until Friday. Tomorrow morning Comcast is coming to disconnect me and pick up their equipment so I’ll be without computer and TV for a couple of days. The kids will have movies to watch on the DVD player and I’ll have my cell phone but that will be it until Friday. That’s sad. I’ll feel like I’m out of touch with the world for those couple of days. I won’t be able to Facebook, Myspace, Tweet, Skype, or email. I could just write but that won’t do me much good since none of you folks would be able to read it. Silly me.

Tomorrow morning the last of the last will get packed. I told the kids they won’t be able to play with their toys for about an hour so I can take stock of what is what around here. Once the final items are boxed and ready to go I’ll be able to tell what goes where and so on; then the kids can have something to do. I’ll even do one final load of laundry to get it all put away so I’m not behind on it when I get to Maryland. I’ll just have one little bag of the towels I use Wednesday night and whatever minor clothing items are used last minute.

We’re picking up Paul tomorrow afternoon. I have to remember to call the airport to make sure his flight is on time. I hate having to wait at airports. I hate having to wait anywhere on anything. My neighbor is going to get my fuel filter changed in the morning, I’ll gas up and get ready to drive to KC, and we’ll be ready to go. Paul already suggested having some lunch then packing the truck so it’ll be ready to go on Thursday morning. I thought I said that already but I’ll let that be his idea. I’ve enlisted the help of a friend so packing the truck shouldn’t be too difficult.

The people that were supposed to buy my dining set backed out today because they thought I lived in KS rather than MO. Apparently I’m too far away for them to drive to get a table and chairs. Another lady inquired about it right after the others cancelled but the second lady hasn’t gotten back to me. I may be taking the set with me to sell in Maryland. I don’t want to but I may not have a choice in the matter. Maybe someone there will appreciate the bargain they’ll be getting.

I just finished cleaning the stove and will get the counters and bathroom tomorrow. I can’t vacuum until everything is moved and I’ll have to borrow one since mine doesn’t work. Heck, I may not vacuum at all. I’m still waiting on a proper sliding screen door. Mine doesn’t have a lock nor does it stay on track. Management put in the work order two years ago this past April and I’m still waiting. Perhaps I’ll make them wait for me to vacuum after I leave. That sounds like a plan, right? Works for me. I’ll see how ambitious I feel tomorrow evening and I’ll let you know the verdict over the weekend, if I remember to post about that one item. If I forget, feel free to remind me.

In any case, I’m going to sign off for now and will be back in about 72 hours, give or take an hour or so. It’s going to be a great trip and I’ll take some pictures and post them if I can figure out how to do that. Maybe Tracy can help me when that time comes. I hope you all spend the next three days laughing at life, and waiting with bated breath for me to reappear to regale you of my road trip. I’ll see you in a couple of days.

Until next time…peace to all.
