Yep, talked to my son twice. He is looking forward to seeing me but I havent spent days in the same car as him in years! Got my darn book character names on my mind...... M so wants to read it! LOL... told her my son would kill me while laughing his head off at the story..... I so have to edit it all ...... she's like I want to see it as it is!!!!!!! Because she has a pretty good idea who people are.... hahaha. Who knows, maybe it was just my brand of therapy this year, considering my surrounding environment!

Packed out.. still have to absolutely sort out the last stuff to go in rental SUV so , that's cool!

The movers got here late afternoon.... worked til almost 11:30pm. They had to drive up from NYC!

But my apartment manager is cool, he says just leave whatever you don't want , he will be happy to haul it off.... which suits my back and balance on the matter of these stairs outside quite well! He gets paid for that, so it works out. ( Of course every other creep in the apartment building showed up to either chase cats who got loose or hit on the movers... had to warn them about that!) .....

Oi, the sound of package tape! It's worse than fingernails on a chalkboard.

Be warned if you have professional movers, anything they can pile in tall boxes, they will!

I have no idea which boxes have what now! I still thought they used normal size boxes! Yikes.

I will be on a mission to get my preps sorted and books.. sigh.

At least I know where most of my books will be and clothes. I did write what room some boxes belong in! Book boxes were smaller though, thats easy to sort out.

Miss Macy hid in closets, had to go get her out of the second one.... she still hid in empty closets but was getting a little better over time as they packed out stuff. They were kind to her.... once they were gone, she was like , "wow, Ma!"

I think , I hope she will adjust to travel!

I think I put my tylenol jar in one of my luggage things or my daypack, was too tired to dig it out to see though by midnight, did find aspirin though!

This damp, humid weather this week has wracked me up good!

I forgot to pack my sock knitting stuff! Sigh, well got socks in my luggage..... hmph! I did remember boots and shoes and jacket and gloves and hat! I also remembered to change to my proper sized belt for my pants! LOL.

Well, some of my preps remain in my dresser drawer, small stuff..... lol, the packer just wrapped the whole thing up! Photos in the bottom drawer!

I only took the roll away bed... don't like the twin mattress anyway... the house is furnished so I dont need it. Be there at least a few years anyway.

Well, when I open those tall boxes up its going to be like a treasure hunt.... hmmm.

I did get rid of old clothes that don't fit any more and i dont plan on keeping such things any more.

Don't have that many clothes now, as it is....

Tried to get practical and nice in my sport bag at least... don't know what social requirements might be like... well casual, not just really plain stuff.

M is really excited I am coming, she and her DH have been busy fixing up things! I told her I have to get back on schedule slowly.

< < < < ( me.) Has not had a real schedule in a long time!

Got word, tomorrow afternoon, pack out, Friday. They sure push the time!

Sunday morning icy snowy way upstate NY. So much for Plattsburgh then west then south, will go south then west! I think Son will be happy to have the spare cot I am junking... save hotel for Sunday night and start Monday morning maybe? He has to drive up from midatlantic area anyway, will be very long day if we had to go to Albany ( for him, again.... )

Emailed DS about it.

I am sorry about the chicken coop!

pack out tomorrow afternoon..... ugh, had to wait for forever on hold to talk to someone. Not good for blood pressure but now have today to sort more, which is really good!

yea! located important papers! I knew they were there! Can slim that stack down, this place is history!

Still no word on when movers will pack me out... today? tomorrow? Cant get through to a real person that knows anything! at Movers.... sigh.

found my papers though, will go sort those.... sigh

I believe medicare will take it..... so, um, how about those Dodgers?

I will start earlier tomorrow. Tylenol may be in order soon.

my arthritis is getting to me this week with misty weather, fall colors are gorgeous suddenly.

I love that, Cat! I am having some interesting scenes dealing with this relationship theme.

Thankyou!

Gotta go to the bank and shop and clutter clear . Move pack out date is Thursday or Friday, cleaning not too bad to do this weekend and son should arrive to pick me up to head out west on Sunday evening or Monday at latest! He has to fly to Baltimore do his teaching seminar or test or something then drive north. SUV time..... no telling what the weather will be out near the Rockies..... vrooom!

Got kitty cat Miss Macy her own styling comfy cage and cushion that is made for it.... She will be rockin... need to pick up some more calmative stuff...... got some snack bits , hope they work. She loves her crunchy treats. If there is any at the drug store...... they change their pet stock like crazy all the time.

Then cranking up music and clutter work......... ugh, but there is an end in sight! Yes!

Heading to the middle west , sorta? Back to the actual simple amenities of life, really basic ones and hope to get things straightened out I know needing addressing, and if this country keeps it together long enough, maybe it won't be so bad..... but at least I will be with some good friends , and hey they even have a real washer and dryer in the house for me!

Yahoo!

Next year, hope to get the moped or motorcycle license class and a 150cc or 200cc type ..... they are reasonable costing if you are limited on assets due to things you may have to go by.....

Laptop sooner, this one is on its last legs....

If I get a 150 cc moped I will be able to plan a trip to California , side roads... well 200 cc would be better. I will see though.

I would be happy with a 50cc though ! I can ride side roads in 3 or 4 states with my cat looked after and go explore! I so want to go explore!

I have things to look forward too. I hope this country doesn't get worse. It is scary seeing how things have gotten in so many ways.

BTW, my daughter in law expects a second child March, early in the month, 2017. It is a little girl. I just was informed by my son. He wanted another boy! I just laughed, now he has to realize what it's like to have Daddys' little girl with him, soon.

But DIL is rather ill this pregnancy. She is at 5 mos. Please pray she will do better and things are healthy. It's her last year of 20 for military retirement!

DGS is doing wonderfully. almost 15 mos. old..... he's a crackerjack gymnast already on the rings..... he loves life.

His parents are both awesome with him. They are on top of childhood development too..... I am learning things I never knew about, not that I don't do badly but they have serious details!

Hopeful news is good!

Thats what I thought, Jeepers. She has worked hard in her career too. Her son is 13, he has bad nut allergies.

Ends up the Epi Pen CEO has close ties to the Clintons.. Clinton Foundation too. And they are collecting funds and such by 'donations's of grand magnitude..'.. to which favors are done politically. Convuluted mess, that stuff, but its bonafide about a connection ....

For some reason, I mistook the Epipen to be the flex pen or whatever diabetics item for delivery of insulin ..... sorry, my brain didn't click right when I saw the brand name....

Epi Pen is for allergic reactions not diabetes.

Scuse......me....... sigh.

I believe Sarah Jessica Parker has now ended her ( working) relationship with Epi Pen , due to this outrageous price hike..... according to news trends today..... her own son had to use the Epi Pen... she is seeking other methods to help him for his health needs now. Sarah is just a little ticked off.

( She is an actress, btw. )

Hey, Stephanie! Just waiting for son to come move me to Nebraska in the Fall. I am working on my writing, Need to edit first book and working on second one already, many sequels in the future as it is a generational story. Multi genre though, so not post-able on Fireside.

( I always did color outside the lines).

here is a pic of my grandson, he is almost 14 months now and going well on his own two feet now. He will be getting a brother or sister next March, we hope.

Please do not repost online, but this is special edition so you can see, I can only post on FB pm's otherwise.

It is one of the most common items for diabetics both Type 1 ( insulin dependent ) and Type 2 that advance into Type 1 over time for many Type 2 diabetics.

That price gouge hike , a year ago was a cancer drug.... that punk CEO got his for that ,

I hope Epipen CEO get's 'theirs'.....

Most persons I know struggle to afford adequate medicines vital to survive on in the first place, of which insulin is one.

I am so far very mild in my needs as a Type 2, but it can still change, resistance to insulin by my body or pancreas production rates ..... can get a lot worse, sometimes simply like it was overnight...

I am sorry for every diabetic needing this Epipen running into this horrible situation.

88F sunny day. Nights are starting to get cooler.

Oh, no! Not the donuts!!!!!

i couldnt get in either, 3 days ... had to use an old link not the usual to get in just now. Had same message as Jeepers .

: (

anyone know if it was just tech difficulties or server website fee issue maybe ( @ admin)

Please be aware Obama is handing over Internet control , announced already on regular media channels/ stations the last several days, to the UN.

I thought maybe this was part of that situation , which is about censorship which is at odds with our Rights. ( a simple fact whether you look at that stuff or not) October first, this year.

It is nationally dangerous to us to do this so it raises very serious risks, as another part of that issue,

The site couldn't be reached as a lot of counter commentaries about such a handover which is 'not' approved of.

But this snafu coincided as that issue arose and all kinds of things, of course were said.

Suggestion, change name to some kind of organization of household items type site name of website... keep same though. This site could get targeted by the ones filtering such things as of Oc-to-ber.

Yep, cooler here and the storms broke up good now, took a couple days but we did get some good rain which we all needed in the East too. Very sorry for the flooding affects in the South. What a big mess that is.

At least inside it's more comfortable and maybe I can get out and get some sunshine soon, today.

But cloud cover may still be around, yes, its a bit dim again. Sigh.

At least its not super hot and humid. Oh well. Good enough to bust out some necessary chores.

A relief to get done, to tell the truth.

had intermittent rain yesterday, quite nice, distant thunder , to our south, today is finally a lot cooler than the weekend i think was.... mucho bettah.

3 cousins and 1 cousin's hubby all in Hesperia, Blue Cut Fire situation, not a good place to be. Not sure how it will go now... bad bad fast moving fire.

yep, it's a big mess and now getting worse. .....

Jeepers, in a few hours we get that storm here, 90% it increased, 74F high, expected Monday.

I have not had fresh picked , breaded and fried for 35 years . I miss that. But I will not eat grits without cheese and garlic....... :0)
