Carlinville, IL
Wow, what a day it has been. I didn’t sleep good and was up very early. In fact to me it was still the middle of the night to be awake. Weather changes affect me just like the cold and hot. Temps were dropping and the wind was blowing and it was a dreary morning. It looked as if it could or would rain at any time. Since i couldn’t sleep and resting didn’t stop the pain i decided to go ahead and get started on what i had to do. I started getting things that needed to be done today down stairs on the go. I put the grand kids toys away in their winter storage area (behind the couch). Cleaned off the counters. Did some surfing on the internet.
Hubby was up early and once it warmed up a bit we got dressed and headed to town to finish some things. Another trip to Wal-mart my printer is out of ink, med’s filled, dog chain (Lexi broke hers), eggs hubby’s prairie farms dip .. WOW .. what was a few things ended up being $70 bucks! Ughhh i wanted to check the mail one more time hoping what i was expecting would arrive, YESSS it was there .. so glad it came before we left. Then we needed to fill up the truck with diesel. Back home and we worked some more on getting those last minute things done. I straightened the frig so things will hopefully ride good, put the bars in that i purchased to hold things in place. Visited with friends and said see ya all next summer :)
I was looking at my receipt and noticed i had been charged for 3 inks, YIKES, i called Wal-mart and they told me to bring my receipt back in for credit. So that meant back to town and got my refund I only got 1 ink so a refund of $28 bucks was due .. YESSS i will take that. I thought my bill was awfully high for 2 little bags. Back home we put the awning in, everything outside other then the water, sewer, electric and satellite are done. Now that everything is done it was time to get my shower so hubby can do the water and sewer and get his job finished. All hubby has left in the morning is the electric, satellite cords and hook up to the truck. I have to put the coffee pot, dogs dishes and what ever dishes we use away in the morning.
Tyson showed up and loaded the trailer and his truck down with all the stuff that goes to storage. We sure do have lots of stuff here when were here visiting the kids. Gabe and Kelsey showed up. We had a good visit with our kids and even though we will miss them while were gone .. I am so ready to get out of this COLD!!
We plan to be up early and off to an early start tomorrow. The plan is to travel 425 miles tomorrow. Since I've had 2 very long days and not much sleep, i’m going to retire to bed and watch the Christmas shows on the Hallmark channel!!
