Wull...who kew. I just pulled up my blog to write a new post and found 3, maybe even 4 drafts that I had not pushed the publish button on!
So, I just published my last which is about the move and "I'm in" story. But right now, this post is about finally....all the unpackable boxes are unpacked. Wa-Hooo!
And there are wall hangings up in every room, curtains are up where they should be and a couple of windows with 2" blinds only ( I love the look and the light). I'm taking a couple of days off and then I'll be straightening and organizing the closets one by one and the rest of the rooms as it goes along. My car is finally in the garage every night and on one side of the garage inside is a row of empty boxes and on the other wall has a few opened boxes with stuff to be distributed still inside...small boxes. There are now 2 shelving units in the garage on the inside wall where the door to the kitchen is that are almost full. Actually I could use another one and there is room without impeding movement from the car to the kitchen door.
Hopefully this time next week all the empty boxes will be gone. I don't mind saying I'm tired and ready for a couple of days off from what I've been doing for months now. Milo and I walk most mornings around the complex but in the evenings we just walk around the back yard. Also sit on the porch in the late afternoons around 6pm and enjoy the breeze.
The one thing that has stuck out in all this moving process is that I went from my 70's to my 80th Birthday last month. It's the first ever age change number that has noticeably ddchanged how I feel. On the inside instead of thinking of myself as in my 30's it changed to now thinking of myself as being in the 60's. Honestly it's quite odd that there should be such a noticeable difference from last day of the 70's to the first day of the 80's. Kinda funny I think. Instead of getting up out of a chair I now unfold out of a chair. Instead of rising out of bed and move along, I rise up and stand for what seems like a long time just to adjust to the vertical position from the horizontal position...odd. Then there's the act of unfolding after sitting for a while. That never use to be. Seems like when I wanted to get up out of a chair, I got up out of a chair. Now, not so much. When I'm ready to get up out of a chair, it's a skoot to the edge of the chair and with great effort finally rising up on my two feet and then stand there for just a little bit. WHAT? You're Kidding, right?
Nope...not kidding! It's different and it happened all in one day! Don't get me wrong...I'm glad to be 80. Feel like I've earned it and frankly never thought about being 80 and what that might look like. I've got the picture now and it's not too bad, so far.
Gonna turn out the light now. It's 12:32am March 24th Saturday Morning. So sorry about the drafts not posted. I'll post another one as I leave tonight. They will just be out of line that's all. Oh, and Milo seems to be feeling better, not so jumpy so I guess he's beginning to settle in too.
Good night and until next time have fun every now and then...This is Judy sitting on the edge of the bed typing on my laptop with Milo laying up against my back asleep. Sweet dreams....
