I 'm home

Well I am finally in my new home. I am in a terrible mess. I have over 113 boxes crammed into this house. I can.t find anything. The moving company packed all of my things. I can't find anything. They packed my book with all of my passwords in it, so I cannot get into a lot of my web sites because I can't remember the passwords. I still haven't gotten the TV installed. (This is a major disaster, believe me) I still haven't found my toaster. Breakfasts are weird, because I usually have 4 slices of toast and a Dr Pepper for breakfast. This week I have had Mac and cheese (Frozen and zapped) , canned hash, ice cream or other odd things for breakfast. The stove is covered with boxes so I have only had the microwave to cook with. I had to go to the store and buy a toothbrush, toothpaste, garbage bags ( Twice, because I cannot find the first box of them that I bought, a can opener. I found a box of canned food I could eat, but the can opener was missing in action. The first night here I had to use my coat and bath towels for bedding because I could not find any bedding. Last week I did not go to church because they had packed all of my dresses and skirts. I have worked every day this week including Saturday. I had Monday off, but that was to see that all of the boxes were put on the truck and then see that they were all unloaded into the house. So far I have unpacked 2 boxes. Found bedding in one. The old soiled bedding, but my washing machine is working over here so it is now clean. And one box of canned food. My freezer is somewhat full of frozen entrees etc. so there is some food available to eat. I will not have another day off until Dec 24th. I have 2 pkgs in the post office waiting to be picked up. I have to find time this week to take the eye test to renew my drivers license, or I will have to take the written and driving test, So I abousouletly have to do that this next week. Or rather Monday or Tues. Even things I buy to replace things I can't find or discover that I need dissapear. I bought a short extension cord for the microwave over the stove. a nice heavy duty bright orangs one, along with that I bought some tweezers and Garbage bags. They are missing . I bought some more garbage bags. I now where where they are. When I finally get unpacked I should have three large boxes of garbage bags! Either my memory is full of holes. or I have gremlins. Tues morning I was late to work because the key to my new 2 car garage wouldn'd fit in the keyhole and I had locked it before I came in Mon. night. I couldn't find the automatic garage door opener that I had sat down inside the house somewhere and the other one was in the car which was locked in the garage, and to make matters worse, It was snowingt. I called work and the chef came and got me. He couldn't get the key yo work either, so he took me to work. Another supervisor took me home, and guess what, the key didn't work for him either. He crawled into a window that had a loose screen and opened the door from the inside, I also need a locksmith to re key the lock. I found the opener in a cupboard that I had put it in the night before. The garage is not attached to the house, but a seperat building. It has been a real comedy of errors I will tell you. A totally overwhelming comedy of errors.

I find that when I want to find something that is "missing in action", if I by its replacement the aforementioned lost item will appear as if by magic. Either Logan or Adam will tell me when I'm looking for something, "Just go and buy another one and you'll find the one you're looking for."

I hear you Big Sis!!! It has been a nightmare for me also. Just take one day at a time, take a deep breath and do the best you can. Trust me it will all come together. As for the "missing in action" that is our favorite phrase, buy one and you will find the missing item! I have never attended church the first Sunday following a move because I can never find my clothes, shoes and make up.

So---you seem to be saying being moved by someone else has drawbacks too. (strokes chin wisely) Hmmmm, that bursts my bubble a little bit. I was so envious of your move without packing, cleaning, or going to the dump.

At least all your stuff is within your new house and missing.

For some reason the email address I have for you won't work but I wanted to let you know Mace will be getting baptized on Saturday January 3rd. We would love if you could come but I completely understand if you can't make it. Hope you had a WONDERFUL Christmas, congrats about finally getting into your home.

Love you - Lisa and Mace
