The Countdown begins!

 


So yesterday I took apart the last lego set that needed to get packed, yes I have lego of my own, some people like crossword puzzles, some jig saw puzzles some ...oh heck I love them all! 3187 pieces packed and ready to go! I plan to have a lego wall in my tiny house, priorities you know! ( photo shows a 1/3 of the set maybe....





So I made myself a list of things I need to do starting Tuesday this week. I get two days to relax before the crazy starts. Course today will be shoving since last night I got 5" of new snow. ( side note, its weird to say I instead of We...)

Tuesday - Gym day which I am finally feeling good about going back, then I'll stop in at UHAUL to get the run down on procedure of pick up on Sunday , Go to agway to grab a couple bales of shavings and hay for the goats and chickens, see if they have water storage tanks since I might like a couple more. Got to pick up new windshield wipers for my little car since one is falling apart, and stop at the post office to see if they found a missing package.   

Wednesday will be a day of cleaning up the rooms that are already empty. 

Thursday I'll clean the fridge, stove and bathrooms bring Izzy her birthday present and my new mattress to the camper ( its rolled up memory foam.). 

Friday will be a roller coaster day - closing on this house at 9:00 In Jeffersonville, then I'll come back home and stuff all I can in my car from the garage, then closing for the land at 2:00 in Morrisville, after which I'll bring the first load of stuff to the land and hang up some Christmas lights outside .  If I have time before dark I'm going to move some firewood that is in the way for the camper and bring it inside for when I start using the wood stove.

Saturday - I'm going to bring all the stuff thats in the garage, might be three carloads and in between, I'll set up the space for the chickens ( hang their nesting boxes, roosts then bring them over they will be the first ones to spend a night there!) I might clean the chimney that day although there is no rush as the little space is nice and cozy with just the space heater running.

Sunday will be pack up the house day with the help of my daughter and son in law, I believe everything will fit in the truck then I'll put the dogs and cats ( In crates) in my car and leave my house here in Eden for the last time. I totally expect there to be tears heck I cried when we moved from all our houses so its normal for me! But yes this time will be different, although I'm happy with the fact I know Anders spirit isn't in this house , he floats free somewhere out there on the great lakes this I know.  So I'll spend my first night in the cabin Sunday night. The hardest part will be the dogs, since Montgomery has no loyalty to me and has no recall, yes my fault maybe we will work on that.  I'll be getting lots of outside time I expect ..:) 



Monday I have two wonderful friends coming over to help unpack the Uhaul and then I shall take them out to lunch <3 meanwhile the kitties are enjoying all the piles of stuff to be kittys and sleep on...:)

The camper, I told Ryan that I don't want it until I get the UHAUL moved and then I need him to coordinate with my son in law to be there to help level it. Once there I'll use the tips I got from my friends on getting the propane flowing and use the propane furnace to warm up the camper and the electric space heaters, I'm not sure if I'm going to skirt the camper after all as I'm sick of spending money on it! I've got lots of insulation on the floor now and if its really cold out I'll just go sleep on the couch in the cabin with the wood stove. :) All is good! 

So a busy week ahead but for now its time to watch Star Wars New Hope and then I'll go shovel the snow that is still coming down, go feed my goats and chickens, ( side note: can't wait until my chickens coop is actually attached to my living space, well except for coffee my rooster.....lol I'll be able to visit them all the time!  

Thanks for reading, thanks for caring :)
