 10 something in the morning, and we are disassembling the computer workstations in both offices, the entertainment center, packing it all up, and getting ready for the movers to show up on Tuesday. It's crunch time! Anyway, let's see how it goes. Though as you just saw, we went out to lunch, we took my cousin to lunch. She came over and helped us do the rest of the major packing that we need to do in the prep before the movers come on the 4th, and so we have now no TV, the husband locked himself out in the garage. Hold on. Anyway, so my office is now, we only have one little workstation out for my husband. He's kind of on call the next few days for his job, and his office is equally as bare of equipment and empty desks and just full of boxes. So this is all stuff that we are taking, the movers are not taking, so we're going to just be able to, once they get the desks out, we can just shut the door and they can pack up the rest of the house basically. So we're good to go! All right, that's it for the moment. I'm going to go sit and have some tea and all that. Okay, I'm going to refill this bit because I had Jeeves on and he was just driving me crazy, talking every two seconds. I just dropped my husband off at the airport. It is Sunday morning, September 2nd, and he is headed to Southern California for a family wedding overnight. He'll be back tomorrow. I'm staying home because we have a lot to do to get ready for the movers to compact the rest, the main part of the house on Tuesday. So I'm going to be getting the house ready. I have to clean out the refrigerator. I need to stage parts of the house, move things around that I don't want them to put on the moving truck, make sure they're tucked away, stuff like that. I have to run a couple errands on the way home before I do all of that. So I am going to stop by Walmart, I think, on the way home because it's kind of early and I don't think a lot of other places are open yet. I don't really, what I want is probably not a target. So I found a random ball of cotton yarn and a crochet hook in some stuff I was packing yesterday and I decided to sit and just start crocheting a circle. And I crocheted the whole ball. I got a pretty decent sized circle about 12 inches across and I'm going to go pick up another random ball or two of cotton yarn and then just keep going and I want to do like a circle afghan so we're a circle blanket. So I am going to do that and I'm just going to, I know there's some cotton yarn in my stash that's packed so at some point when I find it I'll just keep crocheting on this circle until it's either big enough or I run at a yarn and or I'm just tired of it and I want to stop. I also have to like clean out the refrigerator and throw a bunch of stuff out and stuff like that. So I'm really tired. I'm not, I'm to the crunch part the last couple of days where I'm not sleeping and my face is broken out. I'm having, you know, the stress is getting to me. It's not that I'm not happy about the move. The new house is gorgeous. I think we're gonna like the new neighborhood but you know you get nervous about it when you're doing a big move like this and I'm having nightmares about getting up there to take the driving test and failing the driving test and not getting a license and being able to drive my car. Getting up there and moving into the new house and hating it. Like they're not necessarily reasonable thoughts but you know I'm just stressed out and they're just a product of my stress so there's that and you know this is also a product of stress. Let's go over to Walmart. Not my favorite store but sometimes you just have to so we are going to head there and I go to Walmart in California. Sorry you always hear that clunking noise on the vlog. It's my car. I'll be bringing you all on the road trip north when I'm driving. I will be vlogging on the way, not the whole way because hello, but I'll be vlogging on parts of the drive. I drive like that by myself in quite a while so but at least I figured out the cruise control otherwise I'd be in big trouble. I cleaned out the fridge to get ready for the move. There's not much food left in here. So yeah there's a few things in here we're going to try to eat up when my husband gets back for dinner but yeah there's not really anything I'm going to be able to eat for lunch so I guess I'm headed to the store. I'm not going to buy too much just enough for the one meal. All right that's it. Morning everybody. It's just after nine o'clock on what day is it? Monday, September 3rd. I've already had a flurry of text messages and emails the packer. The moving company is here tomorrow to pack up the majority of the house that I have not done including all the kitchen dishes in China and silverware and furniture and yeah closets and stuff in the garage and anyway I've already packed the things that we're taking with us and that includes a coffee pot so I've had a cup of tea this morning and then that was the last dish I'm going to use in the house because I'm washing dishes now so that's it and then I'll put them away when it's done and then we're ready for the packers to pack it all up tomorrow. I'm going to go out and get some Starbucks and paper plates and that sort of thing too I guess. I'm really opposed to them but in this instance when you're moving they're convenient and so it's easier to throw dishes paper dishes away than it is to wash dishes at the last minute when the movers are trying to pack things so I guess I'm going to go do that this morning and I'll be back. Okay so it is still the 3rd of September Monday and it is 11.43 a.m. just before lunch and we are headed to the airport to pick up my sister and then wait around for a little while for my husband who got his flight times completely wrong. Yeah all I can say is that what's going on with us in our lives right now has gotten us completely stressed out and when my husband messes up his schedule that's how I know he's stressed out because he doesn't ever do that so that would be like him getting lost and not knowing what direction he's going in because he just doesn't do those things. So anyway we are going to head over to the airport. I'm going to meet her at the coffee stand by baggage claim and I've got my new house notebook and my iPad so sit and chat. I don't probably need any more caffeine today I've had two giant 20 ounce cups of black tea and I've had two giant grande sized Starbucks cups of drip coffee. Yeah so I probably don't need any more caffeine I think I'll just get a bottle of water. The last load of dishes working the last couple of loads of laundry working at the San Jose house and I'm waiting to hear about getting the keys for the new house and arranging meetings with the San Jose relitter tomorrow I've got to make notes in my notebook when we get there when I get when we get there when I get to the airport um yeah so it's a busy busy busy day the next three or four days are going to be like this so yep I'll be back. Early morning coffee run before the movers get here yeah it's only 6.38 in the morning uh boy. Good morning everybody I don't know what time it is. 6.50 in the morning September 5th my whole house looks like this Fana anyway we are getting ready to go hunt out to go get coffee for everybody and breakfast and pick up a rental truck and in the meantime the moving company will be here shortly that's my sister say hi she's my moving coordinator she's fabulous with moving and purging and yeah anyway she's helping keeping me from going off a cliff it's a good thing so we're going to get the whole house packed up I'll show you what it's going to be like later which is going to be funny because basically there's going to be nothing in the house except a couple air mattresses and suitcases yeah and we're not leaving until tomorrow morning so that's going to be interesting so we'll be back after I have some coffee my gosh you guys it is um early evening on September 5th and my house and art room this is the art room it is empty the whole house is empty we have a few things left out that we're going to need to spend the night you can see some things behind me some bedding but the whole house is empty we're ready to hit the road tomorrow morning first thing we're waiting on one more person to come I know they were supposed to send a going soon sign when they put the for sale post up and that's the one they sent instead anyway we're waiting for one contractor to show up and then after that happens we are out of here to go sit down somewhere that has actual chairs because we don't have any and have some lunch I mean dinner holy cow it's been a long day anyway that's it for the moment I'll be back folks so it's real the house is shut up it's empty it's just after 6 a.m. in the morning you can't see anything out there it's dark let's see and we are out of here and headed off to Orkin hey guys it's Friday morning September 6th no 7th sorry I still don't I may be in a new state but I still don't know what day it is we are standing in my new kitchen we're in Oregon I can't believe it we made it I'll give you all a tour of the house later right now there's literally nothing in it see most of our stuff's on a truck we have a few things on a u-haul but yeah yeah no idea when the truck okay here I'll be back hey everybody and it's Saturday morning September 8th yep we are in the front row of that new house well well at some point be the new library there's nothing in it nothing but some boxes and here's our it has been a tiring exhausting day the kids came over and they helped us get the rental truck emptied and get a bunch of stuff upstairs they're pretty good kids the rest of our belongings come via moving company but they don't get here until like Wednesday so I'll keep you all posted I'll be back most stressful part about moving is getting here it's not the unpacking it's not the resetting I actually kind of like that part it's the just the getting here but I'm so glad we did that and then getting your stuff out of the truck and when you get to be a certain age I don't recommend you do it as DIY we did a little bit as a DIY and we hired out the rest I'm so glad we did my new house is twice as big as the old one and it has the staircase and we had trouble enough last night getting everything up the stairs that needed to go up there we wouldn't have been able to do it without my daughter's boyfriend polyus polyus we love you he helped us get that bulk of it up the stairs we wouldn't have been able to do that without him it would have been sitting in the garage until we got hired help to come help us because we barely got it off the truck but I walk you up the stairs and show you around this will be the new art room space and how fabulous is it literally three times the size of the old space here's my view the forest out of the window it's just gorgeous love it hey everyone it has been an interesting event filled week oh boy um with um a fun uh dinner with friends you just saw some pictures uh not friends sorry family friendly family anyway we they've all helped us are gonna help us a whole lot with the move we're gonna be hopefully getting the truck delivered sometime this next week and they're gonna I'll help us unpack yes I'm gonna need help I can't believe we actually did it the red wall is gone yay he's gonna come back today and paint this the green that I want it to be painted out of the wall in the bedroom we already found a gardener he's going to come take care of the yard and um trim the huge trees that are adjacent to our house and he also will clean out the roof and the gutters so it's all good he's a seems like a good guy um we've already found some really great service people so yay anyway that's it I hope you've all enjoyed the vlog and the series and that you continue to do so and don't forget to go out and do something nice for yourself do something nice for someone else and have a great day I'll see you next week
