Good morning ladies. I'm getting some packing done. D has gone out to drop off a deposit cheque to the movers (yay, we got one and they are a bit cheaper than the other company) So now I can breathe, all the important stuff is taken care of. Now I have to focus on getting the house packed up in the next 27 days, then have the movers come in and the next day have the housecleaning company come in. We'll spend the night in a hotel here and then go up to Kamloops to stay in a hotel for a few nights until the 2nd when the movers unpack and (hopefully) telus comes to get us set up. I'm looking forward to getting moved into the new house and getting started (again) on a healthy eating and exercise plan. I have gained 10 lbs over the last few months on top of the covid 10 I gained so I need to get a handle on things soon before it reaches the point of no return. I'm not beating myself up about it, I "get it", I know why I gained and the comfort eating got me thru all we've endured this past year but I am starting to look forward to getting back on plan soon.
We are loving the new SUV. So many features my old car didn't have. I love the wireless charging and how the hatch opens up when I stand behind it as long as my keys are on my body or in my purse. So handy when out shopping. D found a leather chair for me on marketplace so we went to pick that up last night. It will be perfect for me in the media room. I want to get a club chair for the living room for me but I'll wait til we move.
Tonight is chicken nuggets and fries for D and I'll have a big salad and faux chicken strips. I'm trying to use as much as I can out of the freezers before we go. We are leaving both fridges here and the two freezers so until I buy another freezer, we'll have limited freezer space for awhile. It will force me to be more careful about what I buy which is a good thing, since I tend to over-buy grocery items and then never use them. I really don't want to be so wasteful anymore.
We were all laughing when Jen came over yesterday. We compared the two SUV's and they are identical LOL, hers is not a darker grey than ours, it is the same. We have the same model as her but ours has a few added options such as the automatic hatch opening.
@faerywings I haven't even thought about taxes, I'll leave it until after the move. I was freezing last night too. I was bundled up, lying on the couch after dinner. Today I feel fine though. I think its the dampness from all the rain that gets to me. Jen will find out soon if they want to try other therapies first or book surgery.
@Kythe This weather is awful, isn't it?
@taxed4ever Have fun working on some cards. I have lots of supplies in your box
I don't know if you have a card scorer or not but you will have one soon. It is awesome for perfect card folding. I also have an assortment of stamps and coloring products for you. D is getting used to me saying "put that in the Trudy box".
@LSlycord Hope you soon get used to your new schedule after going back to work.
@Cherylndesigns Looking forward to seeing photos this spring/summer of your natural garden. I love sunflowers and never knew they were the national Ukraine flower. That makes them extra special now.
@BrightEyes Yum, peach cobbler. That was my mom's fave (along with apple cobbler) and I love it too. Enjoy the meatloaf. That is one of the meals I miss as a vegetarian but do enjoy a vegan loaf so I'm ok about it. I don't miss many meat dishes but that was always a fave of mine.
I'm getting a coffee and a bagel before Jen comes with Bella for a doggie playdate in a bit. BFN
