TODAY I HOPE TO HAVE SOME ENERGY TO GET MORE PACKING DONE.
Yesterday was another busy day for me and when I have one of these kinds of days, the next day is usually a forced slow paced one because the energy just isn't there. It was a great day on the prairie spending time with my hunny.
Each day I am trying to pack our belongings for our relocating to the COTTAGE. I'm just about finished with the floor to ceiling bookshelves. I haven't counted the number of books and knick knacks on these shelves, but the books have been placed in smaller boxes to keep the weight manageable. They are still heavy. Will have to use a Dolley to move them.
So far, I have boxed smaller photo boxes of old snap shots into moving boxes placing them in the living room closet. I don't want the photo albums and snap shots to be stored in the Carriage house or the garage. They will be moved from the main house closet to the COTTAGE when the time comes. After the books and pottery are boxed they can be stored in the Cottage garage. They'll be moved soon via automobile.
The Dining room walnut chest contents have been boxed. This week I will empty the entry way buffet then work on packing my doll collection and the contents of Grandma's Hutch. The extra glassware will happen probably next week along with thinning out bakeware and utensils. The china cabinet will take me two days to box up I'm sure. I'll store these in the Cottage Dining room.
What has been packed already:
Cook Books.
Loose Photographs.
Photo Albums.
Pottery.
Books.
CDs.
Book Shelf Knick Knacks.
Framed photos of family members.

Larger dolls.
Tuesday. Will take a break and figure out what's next.
I have to pinch myself...we really are moving to a small cottage leaving behind the place we have called HOME for almost 6 years. This truly is an exercise in taking inventory of what we have. I think it's funner to go shopping for different items and taking them HOME a little at a time instead of packing and unpacking all at once. Fun or not, it has to be done.
TUESDAY was a full day. So much driving. TOPEKA and then MANHATTAN. Got around early so I could go to TOPEKA for blood work while I was fasting. The technician was great. I got in and out of the lab quickly. Stopped in at GOD's STOREHOUSE and bought a WINTER WOOL COAT that I will have Dry Cleaned. Great buy for $8. Also picked up a red Ralph Lauren sweater and a pretty coral colored velour blouse.
Went to Starbucks for a Tea and a Egg Bite to split with Hubby to tie us over until lunch time. Then Natural Grocers for eggs and extra virgin olive oil from Greece. Drove to St. Mary's for lunch at SugarCreek. Had a Rachel Sandwich turned into a salad which was delicious. Skipped the Almond Milk Steamer. Drove to Manhattan for another doctor's appointment in the afternoon. I should have waited on eating lunch as I was weighed.
Celebrated a successful medical appointment by eating Donuts for my sweet tooth. It'll have to satisfy me for a few weeks. Back to skipping sweets. Went to Target for cleaning caddies, HOME DEPOT for a new sump pump, and stopped by the Dry Cleaners that is no longer there. Onto Academy, found another Dry Cleaners in town which I didn't have good feelings about, drove HOME to rest and watched a movie. Watched the 2005 movie THE PRIZE WINNER OF DEFIANCE, OHIO. I've seen this movie before, but wanted to watch it again. The mother's personality was portrayed as someone who was easy going to the point of ignoring her husband's abusive ways.
THE MEDICAL APPOINTMENT that I was dreading went super well. Doctor was pleased with my A1c and the progress I made with LOWERING my cholesterol. I was relieved to have a good appointment. I walked out of there relieved. RELIEVED. I am breathing easier. I treated myself to a donut! and told myself no more treats like this one for a month. Back to watching what I pop into my mouth.
THE RESULTS OF MY MORNING TSH LABS were already in my portal. That was fast. The office said good TSH, but I think it's too high at 3.81 when a 4 is considered out of range. I'll have to visit with the nurse. I seem to be riding a roller coaster concerning my TSH. I will have the numbers checked again in a. few weeks to see if my numbers have remained the same or changed to where I have to change my ARMOUR THYROID dose.
Relieved it's Wednesday!
