Crazy week so far, busy and strange...
Every single thing here I have used this past week. They truly are
lifesavers. All this moving has made the old body pop and snap and so
I am using any and everything I can to get by. I bought a new grocery cart that
surely will come in handy this winter getting groceries inside my place. The less
trips the better I say.. NO lifting either. Wonderful idea!
Kept hearing banging and thought someone was fixing a roof to the building.
When I went outside I saw that the balcony on the other side was being torn down.
TERMITES! Oh that made me feel creepy. I mean what about the rest of the building?
Needless to say, they are inspecting the whole building. Erected back in the early 70's
these places need updating anyway. Having a balcony patio that gives way is very scary indeed. As I stood and watched them working a neighbor came and introduced herself to me. She said that I was the LUCKY ONE.. I guess they nicknamed me
that. I was the one with an almost NEW apt. All new carpets, floors, bathroom etc. It
wasn't because of me.. it was because the older lady lived here sooo long. She was here for 24 years!!! She said that EVERYONE wanted the apartment that I was in. Well, I guess I am lucky then, because I got it instead of someone else being re-located.
LUCKY ME.. This is the one and only plant I have in my apartment so far, it has traveled FAR..for many years to get to this place. The only plant left that my mother had. I placed it in the East windows and it seems happy there. The hula girl was a present, she shakes when the sun hits her.. very entertaining!!

I am so sorry to hear the moving was so very hard on you. I wished someone could have helped you. All your aids look like mine and they are life savers for sure. Termites is bad and hope they set those spikes around the building to rid them. Nice to see you have your Mom's cactus. The hula girl looks cute.
Moving is a trial anyway, and the older we get the worse it is. I too wish there had been someone to help you. Love the cactus.
Moving really is brutal. Grace is always needed but especially in times of transition. Hang in there.
That dolly looks exactly like the one I have. I used it yesterday to move books. Not too crazy about the curved interior brace however. Would have preferred straight.
Great news that you're in an apartment of your own. Must be the moving season as my son just switched apartments out east.
Your plant is one more than what we have. We're just a hospice for plants here. Didn't even try a garden this year.
I do not look forward to moving one day. I shall only bring my dressers and kitchen table as far as furniture. You are so lucky to get a redone appt. mom did too, mine never got done and the carpet is flat and hard. Sunshine! oh how wonderful!
I hope you have peace ((hug))
I am sorry I missed this post Sis! You are such a good friend to me. Thank you! Love, Beth
I missed it too, Sis. Love seeing how it's going and how YOU are doing.
