Woke up this morning feeling good.  Had a nice cool walk with the boys.  The boys behaved before I left for work…which i’m happy.  Got in the car and started driving to work.  That’s when my mood started to change.  The heater in the car is not working.  If it was working, then it would take hours to kick it, I think.  All I have is cold air from the heater.  It was 36 F (2 C) degrees out, it’s chilly, the wind shield fogged up a little from the inside.  Can’t crank up the heater coz then the cold air inside will just fogged up even more.  Driving down the freeway was still ok till 10 minutes later at the exit.  Had to slow the car and used my jacket sleeves and hands to wipe the damn fog off so I can see where I’m going.  Another 8 minutes to reach office parking lot seemed like 20 minutes.  I had to go so slow.  By the time I got to the parking lot, i could not see out the windshield, both windows.  It’s like someone is making out in the back of the car…you know!  That whole ordeal really got my blood going sort of ruined my morning till I talked to my coworker/friend then i felt better.  After work this afternoon, I’m sending the car in to have them check it out.  DB said it could just need anti freeze.  I’m hoping so and not the thermostat problem I had last year.

I heard on the radio talk show that a person move house at least 11 times in their lifetime. That is quite a bit isn’t it? I, myself have moved 5 fives including those in Ipoh. All the fun of packing, throwing, giving away and selling.

Before DB left for TX, I told him to clear out his old Samsonite luggage filled with clothes he had not worn for years and years…jeans, shirts and shorts. He said those clothes are in very condition. He thinks one day he might fit into them again. I told him it’s time to give them away because they have been sitting in that suitcase the time I moved to MN and that was 12 years ago. So go figure when he will ever get back into those clothes, particularly the jeans.  All I could do was shake my head and roll my eyes at him.  After a few shakes of my head, he caved in.  He got them under sized clothings into the giveway bag, finally.  And good thing I pester him to clear out that suitcase coz he had to take that suitcase with him as it is a fairly big size bag.  Hah, now I keep telling him the power of the “head shaking and rolled eyes”!  But it only works at times!  

Now that he is gone, I’m wiping down the picture frames and packing them away in boxes and haul them to the basement.  For some reason, he told me don’t pack the picture frames away yet!  Why the hell not?  Have to start some where.  Doing a little at a time for me is better than rushing.   The worse is my office – fabric, books, magazines, sewing machine, PC, printers, lamps, Sterilite boxes of already filled with junk, and plants.  Plants in that room seemed to grow damn well.  Speaking of books, I need to sell 2 bookcases of  novels  and National Geographic magazines soon.  I can’t believe I actually brought some of my books from Ipoh to MN!!!!  Damn insane.  And the additional books I have bought through the years since I came. 

The coming weeks I need to get down to the grocery and liquor stores to look for boxes.   The liquor stores  usually have boxes sitting out in their recycle container.  Grocery stores, I have to go in to ask them and that too depends on timing when they stock up the produce.  Urghhhh!!!

Oh and we are dropping the price of our house and that means there will be more showings.  Good and bad….good we can get a buyer sooner, hopefully.  Bad I need to clean and pick up the house more often, like every day!!!    Our realtor said there could be 3 – 4 showings in a day and I told her the showings will be done when i get home from work which is 3.  So I have to bring the dogs out of the house for a couple of hours, or just hang around in the garage till the showing(s) are done.

A little at a time that’s all I can say and do……I hope I won’t fall apart.
