Another Busy Day

Wow, what a day already. Kim has been taping up boxes and I’ve been loading the boxes into the U-Haul. It’s lunch time now. Then more taping, loading, and eventually unloading at the office.

Kim called the carpet store this morning only to discover that they still haven’t started on the RV. Kim didn’t get nasty, but she was firm enough that the owner of the carpet store came in today to work on the job. He hopes to have it done mid-day on Monday.

I found the tire extenders I need at Coulee Region RV in West Salem. Bill in their Parts Dept. has bee really helpful. He made an appointment for us to bring the RV in on Tuesday.

The plan is still to hit the road on Wednesday. The house will be all packed up and in storage, but we’re not sure if the RV is going to be ready. We’re going to go pick it up tomorrow so we can clean it and then take it back to the carpet store so they can finish it on Monday. Then when we get it back on Tuesday, after we take it to the RV store to get the tire extenders installed, we still have to reinstall all of the furniture. When that’s done, then we have to pack all of our stuff into the RV. We’re going to be cutting it close.

Poor Shelby is still sick. She's going to miss Honor Band today. Her throat is really sore and swollen. Kim was going to take her to the walk-in clinic, but it closes at 12:00 noon and Kim didn't call until a little after noon. If Shelby is still sick on Monday we'll have to take her to the doctor then.

Okay, lunch is done. Time to get back to work.

Update: I forgot to mention that it has been snowing all day. We had almost a half inch on the ground this morning, but it has melted. Even though it has warmed a bit (I think it's about 38 right now), the snow is still falling. There's just enough to make everything sloppy and to make the ramp for the truck slick. For all of you in Florida reading this, why aren't you up here enjoying this weather (and the big move) with us?
