Looking for tomorrow

Not much sleep last night, thinking of all that has to be done. I feel better about my progress today. I pray that everything goes well. Marianna came at 5:30 pm with some stew which she made, she also brought crackers, orange and candy. I will miss her. I didn't have a bowl for the stew and only had plastic tableware, but that was ok. Well Good Night I hope I sleep tonight.

McKenna's day to help

 Another cool morning. Breakfast was waffle with blueberries. McKenna arrived at 10:00 and we got right to work. We filled three large boxes or I should say McKenna filled them. Then she went to Carle's Jr. for lunch and she left shortly after to do her work on her nurse training. Snack time I had a ice cream cone. As Alden supplied me with some so I guess I need to eat them. Sure hope I get moved this week end.

Busy time with McKenna

Yes McKenna is a hustler. First at 6:00 am I started a load of washing, I can't believe that it has been 10 days since I washed clothes. I got the wash done before McKenna got here at 10:00. Breakfast was cream of wheat. She packed almost every thing for GOOD WILL wow what a lot. She put some ceramics in a box near the street for FREE but I went out there and no one took any so I brought it back to the patio. McKenna picked up chicken sandwich from Carles Jr.. We had some of Hailey's chocolate covered strawberries. We played a little hand and foot. After she left I packed some more boxes. I still have not seen the house. She said my closet is big enough for her to sleep in. But they are still trying to find room for everyone. I said maybe I should stay here and she said NO GRANDMA they haven't touched your room. Alden called this morning and he is feeling better but still needs rest. This is a long weekend with Presidents Day. Picture is of GOOD WILL and box of Annie's.

At 2:00 Marianna came with two frozen meals, oranges and cookies then Hailey came with boxes and chocolate covered strawberries which she made I gave some to Marianna for her and John, they are real good. Hailey had to go to baby sit at 4:00 and Marianna left shortly before. After they left I filled one box with things from the 9 drawers. Tomorrow I will wash clothes and fill another box  with the clothes from my dresser. I will put Annie's things in a box also. O what fun McKenna will help tomorrow.

Doing things in the house

Breakfast was cream of wheat with banana. I was up early this morning. After breakfast I started to upholster the seat of a stool. I had to do the sewing by hand as I don't have a sewing machine. Lunch was chicken mashed potato and brussels sprouts. Going through my clothes to see if I can give more away. I sure don't know how I have so many clothes. I don't go anywhere to wear them and why just have them in the closet. I talked to Alden and he is better but I told him to rest some more. Page was home and they were trying to set up the telephone. Alden said he will send someone over with boxes Wednesday.

Church day

I am so glad that I can watch church even at home. I finished all of the cold cereal.  Breakfast was cream of wheat with banana.  Watched the church services. Lunch was chicken pot pie. I took a little nap then I watched the first half of the Super bowl and the half time was so bad. I did not watch the last half. I had crackers and a orange for evening meal. I talked to Alden and he has been sick and he has so much to do at this time so I told him to just rest and get well as he was working to hard when he first came down with it. Moving their things, my things and finishing uncle Jim's place. It was too much for one weekend when you don't feel well.

Praying for this move

I got up late this morning. Breakfast was cold cereal and banana. I finished breakfast at 10:30 and checked my email as there was so much backed up. It is so good that Alan could fix the problem. He did great so now I have email back again. I am still praying that Alden will get well. But the longer I stay here the less food will have to be moved to the new place. Is everyone going to watch the Super Bowl?

Another day alone

This morning I had cold cereal and banana for breakfast. I made my bed and checked my computer, there was nothing all day and I asked Ethel to send me a email and I didn't receive it so now I don't receive or send email, but everything else seems good. Then I received a message that Josh just finished the virus and now Alden has it so now we will be delayed at least another week. Maybe Lovely can tell Alan that I left a message on his SCYPE if he would check it. 



Time with McKenna

 This morning I had cold cereal for breakfast. Checked blogs and email. Last night Alan and I skyped. He tried to fix my send/receive but his time was up so he is going to check some other things. So don't expect me to send anyone a email. McKenna came at 10:00 am to help me. She got a lot done with my big mouth telling her what to do. Wow what great progress. Now we are set for more boxes. She went to Albertson's for our lunch, it was good. We played one round of hand and foot as she had to go home and do studies. Sorry I did not finish this blog last night as Alan SKYPED and we were on SKYP for over three hours and still did not get it fixed. Then I forgot to finish my blog.

Lunch was fish, brussels sprouts and mashed potato.  Marianna came at 2:00 pm and rang the bell and what do you know I went fast asleep never thinking that I would fall asleep. We played cards but did not keep score as I had packed the record book. Evening meal was cottage cheese and a orange.

They left a empty box

Breakfast was cold cereal no bananas. Get my room in order.  I filled that one box with DVD's and blank DVD's, books and things I don't use much of.  And it is a heavy box loaded so it just stays here in my room. I have not heard how they are doing getting Uncle Jim's place in order. Tom talked to the mail lady and showed her where the mail boxes are as she was leaving mail at front door or where ever. For lunch I had one of the frozen meals that Marianna got for me. and evening meal was toasted cheese sandwich and cottage cheese.

Feeling good and busy

 Breakfast was cold cereal and banana. After check computer and make my bed I did a wash load of  afghans and a few extras. I packed another box which I found in the laundry room. Tomorrow I will pack a box of the DVD's which Alan wants to check. Talked to Gina and she and Alden were headed to Uncle Jim's to paint and clean. What a deal with so many of us moving and all that has to be done at each place. I am not much help as I have to use the cane and that leaves only one hand or arm. Here is a picture of my living room.

O what a day

This morning I had cold cereal and banana so I will go right into the day. First I found out that my emails are not going out, I don't get the place to click on (send/receive) but it seems like everything is working OK, the last email that I sent and went through was on Jan. 27,2022 to McKenna. Well I guess I will need help with that. Ethel said she was checked and has the virus but it is just like a cold. Alden called tonight and said all of them have it also like a cold but Alden, Jeff  and I think Andrew have it and Josh is coming down with it. They worked moving today and They are coming here tomorrow at 11:00 to get my big things as they have to return the u-Hall Sunday. Alden said I must stay in my room all the time they are here because he doesn't want me to get it. I hope this BLOG works.

Washing bedding

This morning I had cold cereal and banana for breakfast. Marianna called to let me know that she left the laundry soap in the car last night and she would bring it this morning at 10:00 and she also brought a card table for me to use as they will be taking my dining table this week end. I washed all my bedding for the last time while here at 7-Oaks, I hope. I called Alden and I didn't talk much because he was at the house and busy. My lunch and evening meal was a chicken hot dish and pineapple for desert.
