Every Day Is Busy

 Yesterday it was back to the real estate agents with Hannah to go over the legal side of the contract, all the rules, all the things that she can and can't do.  Then lots of things to sign. I was rather surprised at the amount of paper this took! 3 A four size booklets with different parts of the contract. I remember way back in 1995 the advent of the home computer with a mouse and icons, this was going to revolutionize office work, we would become a paperless society. Maybe not!! We were in there for over an hour!

Before that we went to the local mall. It's massive, Mikey took us, he parked at one end and of course what Hannah needed was at the other end! Lots of walking! She needed a pair of running shoes for next week, she has teacher training at a special needs school. Apparently the kids run very morning and of course the teachers have to run with them!  

The mall had a display of Ikebana. Very beautiful!

 As I said Mikey took us, which really helped. I didn't want a repeat of last week, getting over tired and sick!

Today it was back to the other house!

The house is basically finished.  A few places to wipe down, a few decisions about where to put furniture but it is feeling ready to move into!

The storage building, however, is still a disaster! I thought that all the books in the room where we teach, all my books from my room would fit into the reading area that I have. I was being overly optimistic. So we have to clean out the storage area.

That is one half of the room!  Behind me is a lot cleaner.

The stuff in there is our stuff, 33 years of thinking about things later!

Whenever we cleaned out our house, any stuff we weren't using was put in the storage place to go through later. But later never really came, kind of out of sight, out of mind!

I have thrown out some things, a lot actually but there is still too much up there!

One problem is all the creatures up there, always just seeing something run across the floor, lots of those little lizard things!

The view from up there is really nice.

 I also found some rather interesting things. A CD Rom for Windows 1995! This is from our first computer!

My hair needs cutting. I say I look like the wild woman of Japan when it gets long and out of control. Today it was so windy, so I looked even more wild than usual.

Christopher took this photo of me. I was taking my frustration out on some old furniture that needed breaking up!
