Day 32 - Work, Movie and Leftovers

Started the day by organizing all the stuff in my closet. When we moved in, I just threw everything into drawers and on shelves. Since my closet holds all my clothes, plus sheets and towels, some rearranging from that state of chaos was mandatory. Kitties helped of course. Nicholas, for example, inspected each drawer. What dear little helpers....

We brought up 2 loads of boxes from the storage locker, followed by grease and chocolate at In-And-Out Burger. I stopped and got another load on the way to see 2012. Pretty cheesy, but cool special effects, which is why I went. The opening destruction-of-southern-California sequence was like a Disneyland ride. Think Mr. Toad's Wild Ride. I love that stuff.

After a side trip to Trader Joe's on the way home, we munched on leftovers. I found the last bit of beef stew in the back of the frig and added some mixed frozen vegetables (forgive me, Alice). We finished off the bread with slathers of goat cheese and olive oil. Randy made a mixed greens salad. I'm determined to use up as many perishables as possible before we leave on our vacation Friday. A serious planning challenge.

My other Big Objective is to empty the storage locker before we leave. We brought up 3 loads today. I'm guesstimating 4 more loads will do the job. Maybe with a smallish 5th load. Everything won't get unpacked until we return of course, but I can live with that. I'm just tired of paying rent on the locker, formerly lockers. Tired, too, of having the hauling job hanging over my head.

Nothing new with the house sale. The buyer needs to request an escrow extension and hasn't done so since they ran into trouble Tuesday. Our realtor is getting impatient. I'm predicting they will walk. Stay tuned for further exciting adventures.

Have a good week, Loyal Readers. Provided there are any Loyal Readers.
