Good morning, Y’all!

Before anything else, I gotta tell ya that I got to talk to Nikki last night!  She really sounds like a sweetheart!  And we’re gonna meet in December!  Micheal’s Grandfather has a timeshare in
Fort Lauderdale and he and Micheal’s mom, aunt, uncle and brother are gonna spend the first 2 weeks of December there.  We’re gonna drive down the second weekend to see them and we’re gonna meet Nikki while we’re there.  And I’ve gotta say that I’m excited!!!!

We finally got moved into our house, somewhat.  I’ll be going back up to Fort Wayne the end of next week to help my housekeeper finish packing then Micheal will fly up the following Wednesday.  By the end of that weekend we should have everything moved in here and set up pretty much the way we want it.

I sure am tired!  For the past several days I’ve been out running around at least part of the day every day.  Yesterday after the cable guy left I had to go get cleaning supplies and groceries.  But I played that smart.  At the grocery store, I made sure they packed the perishables separate and that’s all I carried in when I got home.  I left the rest for Micheal to bring in!

But today I’m staying in and resting.  I did finish unpacking a container of kitchen stuff this morning, but that’s it.  No more for today.  I think I’ll even have Micheal pick up something for dinner or just let him cook.  It depends on how I feel this afternoon.

I’ve not been watching what I eat too closely the past few days.  We’ve been doing so much running that last night was the first time I’ve cooked in almost a week.  But I made sure to pick up healthy stuff at the grocery store yesterday…salad stuff, Brussels sprouts, tuna…and plenty of veggies.  So I’ll do a lot better now.

And we have a nice big kitchen, so we can both enjoy cooking, at least since I finally got the stove cleaned half-way decent yesterday.  You know I just can’t figure it out.  How can people be so nasty and not be embarrassed half to death about it?  I mean, the cook stove is gas.  Two of the burners units had so much stuff burned onto them that they were just black.  I had to get a wire brush to use to get what I could off of them.  I didn’t get it all off, but I got most of it.  And there was stuff spilled under the cooktop.  It was a mess!  And the shower stall in the master bath had mold and mildew allover the girt between the tiles, so that had to be cleaned before we used it.  I’d be embarrassed to leave a mess like that.  And what’s worse, the landlady had a friend of hers come in and clean the house before we moved in and she didn’t clean all that.  Pathetic!!!!  I just don’t understand it.   I’m sure glad I’m not like that.

Ok, enough venting.  I’m gonna go catch up on some blogs.  Y’all have a great day!!!!
