Day Three and counting... only 29 more to go

So it is Day 3 at the inlaws... and it isn't bad... just restrictive. And I don't mean solely in a "can't get nekkid" kind of way. Thye have another houseguest currently, whose wife is in hopsital, and he has the guest room while Jill and I are crammed into the office. This means that when her step-dad needs the computer, or needs just to check email, we have to scram out of there, so I am kind of in a state of limbo, nowhere to retreat to, and that always makes me just a touch uncomfortable.
The move went as well as can be expected, the storage locker is chokoblock full and we had to give up our beautiful couch as there just wasn't any room for it. We gave it to Value Village, beautiful black leather sofa with nothing wrong with it except that it is huge and we have no room, either in the truck or in the one room apartment we will be moving into in June. It broke my heart a little. it is the nicest piece of furniture I have ever owned, or co-owned and to have to just give it away was a bit of a test... but it is afterall, just stuff... and stuff comes and goes. It does not define me or make me who I am, it is just an acoutrement.
Money has become a little more scary. One of my sources for funding this excursion to Ontario has been faced with some unforseen difficulties and will no longer be in existence. That leaves us at least $1000.00 short, which will make this summer very interesting indeed. Although I think Jill has her finger on the pulse of another source, so with any luck we will be ok.
I have already hit boredom stages. I don't have enough time to get into anything really and have no space to occupy to do so anyway, until we eventually move into the guest room, if we eventuall move into the guest room. Thankfully some wonderful neighbour out here has an unecured Wireless Internet connection, so I am able to get internet anywhere in the house! So me and my laptop have been cruising around various seating locations, trying to find the most comfortable.... kitchen table it is right now...
I want to make the move now... this waiting around is for the birds... but not too much longer... patience and perseverance will be the key. The family will all be in town soon and that is something to look forward to and it is really only a matter of weeks, so no doubt ti will pass quickly... next week once I am back at distance education, ontop of the jb at Timemasters, I will at least have my weeknights occupied... and that is good... now if I can just find a way to sleep throughthe morning comings and goings all will be well. =)
Be safe and well friends =)
