I’m always so much happier when my house is near and clean but somehow that’s not enough for me to keep it that way. I mean, I’m way better about it than I used to be, but…

Our wings are not tired.

Making progress on the cleaning all the things front here too. The dust and grime level after being closed all winter is considerable. DH vacuumed the entire bedroom, including ceiling and walls so I could breathe better! The rest of the house is a work in progress.

Driving to Albany to fly him back to Florida in a couple hours. It is 2 hours each way, but direct flight and JetBlue, so it is happening. Also got him exit row seating because he deserves all good things.

Same, meara.

ltc’s last day of school is tomorrow. I’m not ready.

Indeed he does!

We have o'er leapt the first hurdle on the Steeplechase of today. Actually I'd say we'd gotten over two hazards: boxed up what's going today and readied the furniture that's moving AND I received the new mattresses at the new house.

The mattress delivery was fantastic! Everybody is doing tracking now and texting you on exact arrivals. It's great. Movers get here in half an hour and they haul shit over. Then...

Cable guy hooks up the new house between 3:30 and 5:30, whilst JZ goes to buy the linoleum for The Tile Guy who is arriving tomorrow morning at 9am.

So my last task tonight will be to clean out my nerdhole so it gets new lino too. Which will require hauling my computer, desk and chair over to the new house where (I hope!) the interpipes are up and running freely.

You are being way more productive in your move than I am at work. Just sayin'

I *am* going to see Hamlet in July! I'm taking a redeye Friday night, seeing the Saturday matinee with my niece and coming home Sunday, which is RIDICULOUS and that, frankly, is part of the appeal.

It's going to be an adventure and it'll make a good story

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

There was a meeting(on-line) with the people at the hospital this afternoon. I was unable to participate because I didn't have a)my tablet and b) the Zoom invite. I just got off the phone with someone at the hospital, so they now have my e-mail address and cell number so I can participate in future meetings.

Sheryl, just popping by to echo everyone else said — you two are doing the absolute best you can for your kiddo in incredibly difficult circumstances. You are wonderful parents, and I'm wishing you all the best.

It is great! I do love much of technology marching forward with cool improvements in life.

I *am* going to see Hamlet in July!

That is absolutely fabulous!!! So glad you are doing this. You deserve all the good things!

Sheryl, I'm sorry you missed the on-line meeting. I hope they are able to put together an effective plan of action for your family.

Round trip to Albany was easy enough, with yummy sushi at the mall where I charged the car. Beats the WaWa salads that are my more usual charging meals. Alas, DH's flight was delayed so he won't get in until 9ish which messes up his plans for fun times with his siblings.

Met with the contractors yesterday and have a plan there. Need to pick some windows tomorrow. I have a feeling many of my selections will depend on availability. They are going to put in radiant heat flooring panels (warm toes) and a tankless water heater to improve life in the Adirondacks quite a lot.
