Or maybe not. Perhaps it is 286 days?? Or More??

I have just spoken to Virginia and she seems to think that she will not need my help in the foreseeable future. So the big question???? Do I leave or not? Do I see the project through at work? But.... the process is started to find my replacement. This whole thing is messing with my brain. I will have to find out what the position is at work.

112 days!!!

Things are progressing well at home. We have sold quite a lot of stuff and boxes are going into storage.

News from California is more postive as my American Mother's cancer is not as bad as we first thought. Her prognosis is good. 5 plus years. She needs to have a bit more surgery and the oral therapy and radiation.

In July when we have retired, we will not drive the MH down to San Diego as we will be staying with Virginia in her house and would have to store the MH at about $200 a month. It will also cost us over $800 in fuel to get there, so we will drive down in the Saturn and camp or motel it on the way. Much cheaper.

117 days to go!!

Working frantically to get rid of stuff, pack stuff, donate stuff and sell stuff. Question....do we recarpet before we sell? What about the cracked kitchen tiles?? What about the cruddy vanities in the bathrooms?? Why do I have so many little things lying around?? Paper clips, pencils, pens, safety pins, just myriads of little things that really don't have anywhere to go. Cables by the hundreds. The original hardware is gone long ago. But I still have the cables. Piles of wrapping paper, ribbons, cards, tape. How am I going to do it????

128 Days to go!

We have decided to sell the condo. My son has said that later in the year, house prices are going to fall, so this would be a good time. After the dust has settled we will try to find a small bungalow somewhere that has a good size lot to store the MH, or put a tenant into the house, while we have the freedom to move around, plus have a base in which to stay.
