COUNTDOWN

The "last" inspection at the real house is late this afternoon. The only thing either of us is able to think right now is that it is a hell of a long time until
4 pm.

               The dogs sense something is going on: they are frantic.

Here is a partial list of what we have to do in the next 4 days IF we pass inspection and IF the insurance company can arrange to get our furniture back into the real house:
1. Pick up the yard of dog stuff here
2.clean the stove again
3. wash my bedspread which is the rental company's bedspread and which is no longer beige and white but kind of mottled dark mud brown and drool and has  been for several weeks.
4. pick up the yard here
5. separate the utensils I brought over from the utensils the rental company rented us from the ones we brought over from the ones they oh I said that.
6. pick up the yard
7. pack clothing. I have little. John has lots. I have two pair of shoes,undies and a handful of t-shirts and sweatshirts, 3 pair of jeans only 2 of whichI can wear and breathe in at the same time.
8. pick up the yard.
9.Watch quietly without saying a word while the two rooms of stuff John brought over are taken back to the house and put somewhere out of my sight.
10. IF they bring our real furniture back from Batavia before Monday getting the cable switched, the gas, electric and water back on in our names. I can do that today and just have them set it up for Wednesday. Either way we will not be living in THIS house on Friday.
11. Pick up the yard.
12. If they don't get our furniture back or the cable cannot be hooked up finding some way to watch the final episode of THE CLOSER next Monday. The

•  The only show John and I actually watch religiously  (except for Justified which isn't on now) and together.

So that's a real priority. Do bars show THE CLOSER?

37. Get John's suit cleaned for his HS reunion this coming weekend. No I do not go, altho I have in the past.
42. Pick up the yard at the rental.
43. Get the light bulbs and toxic chemicals out from under the picnic table at the other house  and away from any area the dogs can reach. Put the Barbeq out for the trash, put the counter that is in the yard out for the trash and the freezer. Trash pick-up tomorrow. That'll have to be done today, maybe after the inspection.
57. Find a way to open the padlocks on the gates here that rusted shut in 4 months of solid rain, heat and tropical humidity.
58. Pick up the yard.
67. Do something about the weeds at the other house, no poison.
68. Find out when the furniture is coming home.
69. pick up.
70. Note to self: weather predicition is for rain for weekend.
