Relaxing!

 Nov 30th

WOW, another busy day, but more light at the end of the tunnel this time!!! 🤗🤗🤗 

Pat n Sylvia did Shaw etc this morning and then called me over 12:30ish till 4:30 as they unpacked necessary stuff, I broke down boxes and hauled to my car, garbage and smaller recycle to her bins. 89 items are on another truck hopefully in tomorrow. Then I left with all the pile of flat boxes for the recycle depot and deposited as required, not like some asses leaving piles of boxes outside the slotted bins. 

Tonight Sylvia is staying in her place with TV, food, bed made and bathroom ready for her! Even Pat was pleased that most was put away, looking more like a home and the place ready for more unloading tomorrow. Hopefully she's relaxing and tomorrow is another day! 🤞🤞🤞

OMGG I can't imagine what I'd have done this past 5 years without this wagon! NOW it's even helped with Sylvia's moving in so we didn't have to cart items plus juggle to open the heavy doors! And it's still in great condition! Yes from grocery shopping, carting recycle out, shuffling AC etc from storage and back, cartibg retreat stuff and now moving items! Well done baby!!!!


So sad!!!!!! 😪😪😪


Well I think Sylvia has 99% of her items, maybe all if the so called professional mover recorded correctly or not! The 89 or so items arrived today by "professional" movers who weren't impressed with the other guys workmanship but did not want to leave Sylvia stranded so accepted their overload job. These two handled themselves professionally as yesterday's helper did too! Totally different work ethics for sure! I think I've learnt from this move to hire a moving van line from the get go! Now Sylvia is more relaxed and will unpack the rest leisurely, maybe even purge more yet too! PHEW, it's done!




Thank you to Jocelyn for this extra something in my pickup and it makes an awesome gift cheering up my window lickety split! I love how the reflection is repeating in the windows from the single light strands!

Something I would do!!!!!






Thank you Diane, Lace-Lovin' Librarian, for this charming tatted Button Ornament Base #1 Variation pattern! I made two and one is going into a gift exchange. Awesome!!! The first one in Cronita sand with gold metallic but realized I did the joining from front to back which seemed backwards and the button is a shade too small! The second with Lizbeth 20 Irridescent and a larger button so it lies better!

Unpacking Sylvia!

Nov 29th

Hmmm wonder what this huge crow or raven sitting here means??? I had to zoom in over that old house across the street.



Oh boy! I think waiting around indefinitely for someone to arrive is quite tiring, even if you're not actually working! Sylvia, Diane and Tyler arrived from Dryden BEFORE the movers who left the house sooner, HMMMM!!! The first truck arrived finally 6:30 pm, last unload was 10:30, and finally all assembled and out 11ish, we shortly after that! BUT 89 items were on another truck that went west first and won't be here till Tuesday! Well Pat was checking off items that came in so I pray the rest jives with Tuesday's drop off! It's sure been a long day for Sylvia!

Ohhhh that was a very very quick curb side pickup, like seconds after calling in my stall number! Love this service as I hate shopping unless it's for my hobbies! 🤣🤣🤣 Guess I picked the right time! 

Tried for Walmart online pickup and had such issues with their website I just exited and went to Staples website and in minutes order was placed and confirmation received! 

Then picked up drive through Tim's brunch and home in like 40 minutes tops. Now relaxing, gonna watch movies and crochet my new Christmas ornaments today. 

Tomorrow will be a repeat of yesterday I'm sure! But then Sylvia can take her time unpacking etc. I'll help collapsing and carting to recycle etc.

Catchup - Nov 26th-29th

 Nov 26th

Okay I'm finally home, roads n weather were good, from unloading at Sylvia's apartment with Pat's help, both wearing masks, drop off at Audrey's too and home to unload a cooler of frozen food into my freezer. Once her's finnally arrives then I'll shift her food back to her, dang thing was to be there already, but delayed!!! Feet are up and Tylenol muscle n body to the rescue! AND those movers better not decide to load n go tomorrow!!!! Hopefully I'm home for awhile now! 😌

Nov 27th

So how are my friends going to this drive through parade in the city of Pembroke? Sometimes I don't understand locals going to none home events?


I hope I don't miss this virtual event! I've always enjoyed this no matter the weather with my friends!


Nov 28th

🤣🤣🤣 OHHHH Colleen this definitely sums it up! 🤣🤣🤣 PSST: maybe even more for the 24 days Advent Calendar?


Well Sylvia's movers are delayed, so today was relax time! But I was asked for 4 more masks so I sewed them up between movies. Tomorrow may be busy!


Nov 29th

Hmmmmm the unexpected setbacks etc for Sylvia's move is making me rethink my hope to move out of here! Yes the movers have changed ETA again. Maybe it's easier on MOI to just stay put and put up with the not so great here in an old apartment and downtown! 🤔😕
