It a bittersweet time in my life and I don't really have anyone to talk to about this so you guys get to put with MOI yet again :-). As you all know by now, I will be moving back to Lizard Land on This Saturday 21 May. I am extremely conflicted with this move -- I desperately want to be closer to my family but I absolutely do not want to leave my friends and this beautiful part of the country. I can't talk about this with my friends because I fall apart at the seams and start to cry. Then I will talk to the SMDGD and she's soooo unbelievably excited to know that GrandMother and Cassie (Old Lady Beige Cat) will be living at the cabin and she can see us frequently. She's most upset that GrandFather won't be living with me but will have to stay here with the other pussycats. I will be back here in August -- I have dental work that needs to be done. I have made the appointment for that the same week as my needlework group meets so I will be able to attend and see all my friends. It won't be the same -- not being able to go do things together; go out to lunch, etc. It's so beautiful here -- I know I will be heartsick when the autumn comes to the mountain and I have very little in the way of changing leaves, etc. I plan to plant some trees ASAP when I get to the cabin so that I can have a bit of color to keep me happy. I'm thinking I will have to come back for another visit in mid to late October to get my "leaf fix" -- LOL. Even tho' I kvetch about the yard work, I will sorely miss my trees and plants and flowers, etc. Then again, I have great plans for some of those planters that straddle a 4" railing! I've got my catalogues marked and will order them as soon as I get to the cabin. That way I can plant annuals and have some color all year long. VBS -- I'm so unhappy here in this house now. Almost all of my "treasures" are packed away and in storage. it's a cold house now that we just happen to be living in. I look forward to living in the cabin where I have a few treasures and can make a mess and not have to worry about keeping everything rigidly orderly in case someone comes to vies the house. We're coming up on six weeks that the house has been on the market and who knows when it will sell. Well, enough of a pity party I suppose. I just needed to vent a bit to folks who aren't here to physically give me a hug and make me cry again. I even started to cry when I was at Curves this AM! It was my last time there and everyone wanted to give me a hug goodbye so I was all weepy and teary eyed. I'm having lunch with one of the close friends this afternoon and then dinner with my bestest friend this evening. That's good :-). CiaoMeow >^;;^<
