This week is full of packing and preparing to move.  We’re planning to move this Friday, the 20th.  During the day I’m working on packing, and then in the evening we’re working at Monroe to prepare for our family and our stuff.  Last night Michael was finally able to start building the shelves in the basement.  The basement room that we’re working on has a nice double-coat of paint on the floor, and it’s getting a double-coat of dry-lock paint on its walls.  It’s amazing how the bright paint makes that room look so much better.

Last night I also finally painted the ceiling in one of the rooms that got overlooked before.  It’s nice to finally have that done.  I also have other painting projects that need my attention, but I really wanted to get the ceiling done before we moved things into that room.

Oh, and the piano is scheduled to be moved tomorrow, and I scheduled a tuning for next week. Michael has sworn off moving pianos any more in his life, so that’s one thing we splurge on hiring someone else to do.

This move is really happening!  I’m quite excited about this next stage in our lives, but it’s a lot of work.  So if I don’t write much here over the next few days, you’ll know what’s going on.  I’m probably busy staring at an empty box wondering what to pack next, or I’m splashing paint all over, or perhaps I’ve crashed into bed  hoping a nap won’t throw off the schedule too badly.

In other news… Judah sees the doctor again tomorrow morning.  I’m hoping we can get his surgery scheduled so we can put this whole “appendix adventure” behind us.  Until the surgery is over, there is a chance of a relapse, so we keep watching him very closely.
That’s all for now!
