19 days to go

 

So I made it through my first Thanksgiving and Christmas without Anders, thanks to my supporting friends , wonderful family and an invite to my wonderful son in laws family's Christmas Eve get together.  Brief moments of guilt would creep in with my subconscious whispering "really should you be laughing right now? Your husband passed away just a short time ago" But you know, I know very well that's exactly what he would of wanted. His whole life he hated seeing anyone sad. So I powered through. 

The hardest part is seeing my Grandchildren's achievements  knowing just how proud he would be of them seeing them play sports, create things, etc and then I have to go back to my belief that those that pass away are still here with us watching those achievements. So once again I power through.  

I took down the Christmas Tree the day after Christmas only because I wanted to give it to my goats, they LOVE Christmas trees. It made them so happy. :) After all thats what its all about making people and critters happy..:)

I spent a lot of time packing up more stuff yesterday getting out of the Holiday Season ups and downs and getting back into the , holy crap how am I going to do this, sell one house, buy some land, move the camper, move all my stuff, my chickens, dogs and cats.....breathe Donna!

I can't WAIT until this is all done and I'm at the land, living day to day, planning what I want to do tomorrow...

So now I'm living with piles of storage crates and piles of stuff waiting , I sent a request through the realtor to see if they would let me move in the day before closing since that way it would be a Sunday when hopefully there would be more people available to help versus on Monday a work day. If so I'll spend my first night in the "cabin" and then the camper could come in the next day when the driveway didn't have so much traffic.  My brain is on over drive. Course they might say no, and I haven't got the official ITS ON ! The appraisal is finished and the value was found though so now just waiting for the underwriters and the lawyers to say good to go.

Meanwhile I can't believe its almost January and I'm out doing chores in a shortsleeved shirt.  BUT now I'm hoping that this weather holds out until January 15th!  Today I'll pack up more stuff , maybe even haul some stuff out to the garage incase the sellers so nope you can't move in until closing day and the buyers want in the house on closing day....what a crazy system...so anyhow if your reading this stay tuned if there is anyway you can help carry stuff out of the house or in the house, or drive some stuff to the land in the back of your truck or car...:) I'll buy the pizza!
