Today was a waiting day. Waking up and got ready to go take hubby to work so I could take the car and go to Pat's house to take pictures of the appliances she has for sale so I could make ads for craigslist. But even though I had gotten up at 7, gotten dressed and waited for hubby to do the same, he tells me that the roads are too icy and snow packed from all the snow we have had in the last 24 hours that he was not comfortable with me out on them. Schools were all being delayed and businesses delayed opening so he would get to work and see if he was comfortable with me driving midday.
After he got to work, he called and said that he would prefer if I just stayed at home all day. So I called Pat and told her. She understood, she doesn't drive on roads like this either, her son drives her during this time. And she was only going over to the house for a little while, leaving after half a day. So she wished me well on my trip and told me to enjoy my grandbabies.
I then laid back down and slept until 11. I had turned the thermostat down to 66 and was getting a little cold so I changed into a sweatshirt and leggings. I needed to wash my jeans anyway so that worked out good. I started the laundry. I spent the rest of the day drawing up instructions about the animals for Frank, who will be watching the animals while we are gone.
Hubby picked Frank up when he was done with work and then went to a place we like for BBQ once in a while, Rudy's. It's on the opposite side of town so took them awhile to get there and back, but it was worth the wait. The three of us had dinner then I walked Frank around how to feed the animals. The cats are tricky.
I got the clothes out of the dryer and started putting them away. I found a suitcase to use for me, hubby has one to use for himself. We are going to pack and then pack the car so we don't have to do it in the morning. So excited and nervous at the same time! I can't think of much to take. I keep thinking I need to pack a bunch of stuff to do but then I think I will be busy there so won't have time to do much, but will never know until I get there. So I am going to take my coloring books and gel pens or colored pencils. Some yarn for crocheting. Some books to read. My computer. I want to send postcards while I am out on the road and at Sarah's so I am taking my bedside notebook with some addresses in it.
There is so much to do but it is hard to get started. It doesn't seem real. But tomorrow I should be at Sarah's and then Sunday I will wake up and see the grandbabies. I love them and now I will realize how much I miss them.
