Live Long and Quilt, Make it, Sew
Sometime between 8am and 5pm tonight the movers should arrive and start packing up our stuff. For the next three days our home will be invaded by strangers. On Friday the big truck will arrive and our things will be loaded onto the truck. I have no idea when this computer will be packed up. It will be either today, tomorrow or thursday. So just incase I don’t get to signon again. Everyone have a happy and safe summer.

Today I unplug my refrigerator and clean it out. This should be fun. (anyone want to do this particular chore for me? )
I have a bazillion knick knacks to wash and prepare for packing.
I need to finish cleaning out my closet.
I need to wash all of the linens in the house and finish with the rest of the laundry.
I have to sort thru the clothes that my children will be taking on vacation. (Which reminds me. Everyone needs new underware and socks. )
I need to move furniture and sweep and vacuum under everything. (I don’t want any surprises when the movers start moving things)
This is just the beginning.

I know you donât always find wonderful people at a restaurant but tonight was the exception.
Tonight was my going away party at the Outback. Many of my friends were there. (i.e.: Cathy G., Kathy R., Courtney, Crissy, Nancy, Raychelle, Priscilla and their significant others and spouses) It was a lovely party. I received a beautiful card and a lovely necklace which I will cherish for ever.
I liked my job in the NBICU, although at times it was extremely stressful. I know everyone thinks I have lots of patience and self control but I don’t. On more than one occasion I considered drop kicking a visitor into the next department or at least saying a string of dirty words that would make a sailor blush.
I think I liked my friends that I met there more than the job actually. The NBICU is filled with wonderful hardworking people. I wish you all well.
Be good, Be Safe and stay out of trouble. Remember to say NO to drugs, alcohol and cigarettes, don’t pick up hitch-hikers, accept unmarked packages or watch a strangerâs luggage while they go to the bathroom.

PS: My intention was not to leave out my friends who attended my going away luncheon on Wednesday. Merlene, I always enjoyed working with you. We worked well together. Julia, You are a great nurse. I love your smile and the nice way you treat people even on the worst of days. Angela, you are also a great nurse and you are so sweet. Don’t let those mean old secretaries scare you. 🙂
The housing inspector comes by today at 2pm to inventory our household goods. It only takes a few minutes. They just need to know how big of a truck to bring on Tuesday. I will be spending all morning trying to neatly stack and categorize stuff. With the help of my five children we will write down every thing we own. We have already taken everything off the walls and everything out of wall units. I have stacks of stuff (ie; video games, cd’s, DVD’s, records, pictures, vhs tapes, books, and knick knacks) lined up against practically every wall in my house. Geesh!! you would not believe the stuff. Every child in my house collects something.
Did I mention after Tuesday I will not have a computer? It’s going to kill me. My computer is my friend.
This is my Heather’s most recent art picture. I thought it was very pretty. She used a photograph as a reference picture.
We made it back to Albuquerque about 7pm tonight. I’m tired. It’s good to be home. I have to work Friday, Saturday and Sunday. This is my last weekend working at the hospital. It’s kind of sad because I like the people I work with. I’m too tired to write more. See ya soon

We found a home. Everyone say woot!!!!! The house is brand new. It has never been lived in. The owners still have to landscape the front yard and put in window treatments. We signed all the papers, handed over the deposit and the rent for June.
