Still packing....

Well, this is the day we were planning to leave....

Instead, Keith had 7 teeth pulled! :( New plan is to leave Saturday! This would be so simple if all we had to do was zip up the RV, hook on the hauler truck and go, but that's not what's happening! Packing my mom's old Dodge, clear to the roof (we don't even want to go into what all is in there!); loading it onto a flatbed trailer; loading lumber and tools; figuring out how to load a mattress, box springs and and L-shaped section of second-hand countertop.... 'sigh' Oh, and a turkey fryer! ;D and a bucket of hastas.... and maybe the push mower.... LOL!

Now I just have to put a polish on the inside of the truck camper, fill it with supplies and clothes, load stuff into the fridge and we can hook up and go....

Let's see... Friday will be the day the Union Hall calls Keith for a job that starts Monday, right?

Almost on the road again...

A week from now, we'll be headed West, finally! Hopefully. That's the plan, anyhow. I've put our internet service on vacation, as of next Sat., and, will have activated my Vcard--which doesn't work worth a darn, here in our IL location. Plus, I am already set up for therapy appointments in
SD, starting a week from Wednesday! Now all I have to do is get myself in gear and get READY.

Therapy is going okay, I guess. Seems like my strength and range-of-motion are improving at a snail's pace, but the doc didn't fuss and the therapist says I'm doing great... Still got a numb pinky, so my typing is not up to snuff, of course, but at least it's 2 handed! :)

And so it continues...

I got infected! worms, trojans, viruses--oh, my! My dear friend, Pam, spent the weekend toiling over my computer. Finally, it's up & running--for now! And then she went out and bought me a new laptop! For a Mother's Day gift, she said! Needless to say, THIS laptop is loaded with anti virus programs!

Meanwhile, the pt continues... I'm slowly improving--very slowly, but improving.

Plans still continue for an April move to SD. I'm not able to do much but plan & supervise, but we'll get there! Our little 'shack is calling! :) Our neighbors are so impatient that they have been in and done some clean-up work already!

Tiny success: I finished stitching the 'quilt in progress'! It's D-O-N-E! :)
