Where Did Sunday Go?

Sorry about not posting yesterday, I don't even know how that happened...oh, well...Today, I am preparing to leave Colorado Springs and it's daunting...to start with, I didn't find a place so I'll be coming back to temporary digs and I won't be bringing the great big truck...the best laid plans of mice and me often go astray...yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay, new plan: I'm putting anything I can do without into storage here in Colorado Springs so that I'll have room in the van to bring all that I can from my smallest POD back with me.  This really should be interesting, but I doubt you'd want to hear about it.  So, right after I finish this post I'll make my first run over to storage.  It's good to have a day to do something that use to take me two hours, but such is life.

Tomorrow afternoon I'll head out to Santa Fe, visit with the Warfords for a couple of days and carry on to Tuscon, and should arrive in LA on Friday or Saturday so my next post should be from LA, wish me well :D

Tick Tock

This week I got the date of my third, and supposedly final, deposition set for March 11 in Pasadena, CA.  Which means that I'll leave Colorado on or about March 1,and be in LA on the 5th or 6th.

I expect to line up a house here before I go so that I can bring my stuff back with me in a great big truck.  It is more logistics than I've done in a long time and probably why I am still awake.

I thought about three paragraph since I wrote the last sentence, but I guess I'll just close by saying that I really hope the house I saw today is the one I get and that a whole truckload of details fall into place really, really smoothly.

Holy Cow, It's Sunday

Today was such a beautiful day!  Too bad it started with an exploding dog.  Coco was sick as dog, oh yeah, he is a dog...but still now I know what they mean.  They mean get out your mop and ammonia cause you're sure gonna need it!

So, as beautiful as it was today, I didn't do much besides dog duty...not my favorite by a long shot but at least I was able to tie him up outside for a while and know that he wasn't freezing.  My new friends here at Spruce Lodge took turns walking him for me, but they let me do the clean up for the most part (thanks Mike).  It was a special day.

As for the rest of this week, I know you'll think I'm making this up, but David Toso died.  That's Brad's cousin- whose wife helped me find the house.  Will you people please quit dying...really, I'm a little shell shocked already. I'm trying to be funny, but I don't know if it translates and anyway it's not a funny topic.  Moving on...

I will be giving my last deposition (should be anyway) on March 11 in LA so I expect to head west on March 1, see the Warfords, then Wallaces and then the Stewarts.  I am a fortunate women to have so many people willing to put me up between legs of this trip. 
I expect to stay in LA for the month of March, having many loved ones to visit, and return here for April-at least, that's the plan...we know how these plans tend to morph...hope all is well with you.

Inch By Inch

This week went a little slowly, but well in general.  The weather was quite cold so I did the best thing that I could, nothing.  Believe it or not, I actually watched television...some of you know that is extremely out of character for me. 

I have settled in to the Spruce Lodge for the month of February, and I am glad I did.  I really needed some continuity for a change.  I've met a number of people from contacts I made at the health and Wellness Fair, and I have a new friend to have a cup of tea with.  So it's going slowly but surely.

I suppose that I should add the loss of Jack Popejoy.  If you're from the greater LA area you know him as that silver voice on talk radio.  Frankly, it's a little too fresh to talk about.  I hope you're all weathering the weather where you are.
