Two Weeks…

Two weeks…how many times do we hear that in our lifetime? So many products or services will be done in “two weeks”. But it really is just two weeks till my job ends and I start really banging out the condo so I can be ready to move.

Took Baxter for his walk down around the Bay today. It was 61 with a strong seabreeze but we enjoyed it. Baxter wanted to stop at every tree, of course. He did take a swim in the pond – I wasn’t happy about that because he did so on our way back to the house so now he is lying around all wet.

On our way back I stepped on a metal grate in the sidewalk and about fifty spiders came crawling out. Grossed me out. I had to jump out of the way for fear they’d get on me. I hate spiders.

I ran into a man outside who wanted to know about buying a condo. I could have told him mine would be for sale in a few months but I didn’t because he would have wanted to look around and talk about it whereas I have to get ready for work. Besides, I’m not sure I want to sell it just yet.

Now I have to get go to work and spend my day inside. It is a shame because today is suppose to be very nice out – however, tree pollen is in the “very high” zone so I’m probably better off indoors. No point spending the day sneezing.

More Tidbits Before Bed

The whole moving thing is switching into high gear – I swear the time is flying by now when earlier in the month it seemed to drag. Have gotten rid of a lot of stuff – have more to get rid of but I’d say I’m over halfway done.

I got my paperwork from the University Police in the mail today so need to get that taken care of. Will try to go do the fingerprinting tomorrow but I’m not sure the jail will do the kind they are asking for. Will have to stop by and ask them. The jail prefers to do the fingerprints electronically and mine will have to be done the old fashioned way with ink so will have to see. Guess tomorrow will be rushing it since I have to work 12 hrs – probably get them done on Thursday.

Two more weeks of work left. Scary. I’m anxious to get started at my new job…more anxious to get this move behind me and be able to settle down into some realm of normalcy.

Visited my doctor today for the last time. She told me I’m very anemic and have to start taking my iron pills again. She gave me prescriptions for everything so I’ll have them up in Iowa – she gave me six months worth so I could take my time finding a new doctor. She told me she has never seen me look happier or more content – that obviously moving is the right decision. It is.

I dread tomorrow’s 12 hr day at work but will get through it knowing it is the last one. Right now I suppose I’ll take Baxter out for our final walk of the day. It is cool here so will have to put on sweats and a jacket. Yes, people, Florida gets cold sometimes too…even though I know some folks in Iowa who would love to have our 50 degree weather right now. Sounds like all it does up there is snow – glad it is doing it this year though so next year will be more normal. Usually we get a very snowy season every ten or so years.

Develop interest in life as you see it; in people, things, literature, music – the world is so rich, simply throbbing with rich treasures, beautiful souls and interesting people. Forget yourself. –Henry Miller
