Another Day in my life

So yesterday I decided to take a break from my brain and took a walk to the store, it's not that far away so total was only a 1 1/2 miles but it felt good to get out for a walk, got a nice cup of beef stew from their Deli so win, win. My days are filled with slowly packing up boxes, taking apart my mass of lego sets, wrapping Christmas gifts, watching movies, playing games on my I pad , doing crossword puzzles. Somehow I can't read yet and can't get my brain wrapped around my usual workouts which I know would make me feel great but I'll get back to it I know once things are more settled.



I bought this ship captain statue years ago at Christmas Tree shop, its so funny because it looks so much like Anders :) Eventually he will stand guard out on my teeny houses front porch. He was standing in the closet and while cleaning it out I found Anders briefcase and the last suitcase he used traveling to the ship. In it, his "lost" wallet,  a plastic bag with notes from the guys at the golf course when they ran a "vote him out" campaign, that was so funny. Those guys sure knew how to have fun, the last few times he was able to golf with me helping him putt, my heart was overwhelmed by their kindness. 





Yesterday I got an email from his company that I needed to fill out paperwork for his pension etc, Then of course that made me realize I needed to do the same for Canada Pension as well. I spent 4 hours or more printing and filling out forms , looking for documents, today I'll get signatures and documents certified . Happy that I have a friend who went through this 7 years ago so I have an idea how its all going to work out.  Its a bit stressful for sure and another reason I'm happy that the house sale is in.....a month and a day!  Speaking of which realtor called yesterday to tell me that the appraisal is scheduled for next Wednesday! One more hurdle to cross and then I'll start moving everything I can move myself to the main level of the house.

So far I have two people ( Jen and Nancy <3) ( plus I'm sure my family) available to help move boxes to the u haul and out. The more the merrier! What I'm happy about is I'm only moving a few things that I can't move out to the U haul myself! Starting over from almost scratch and really working to live more simply is great. Somehow with the help of a tiny Benadryl pill slept 8 hours last night plus the sun in shinning so thinking a walk after lunch will be in order. Currently watching George my deck Squirrel eating his daily sunflower seeds, he's around so much the dogs are even used to him ! 

Count down 32 days .....
