Home

After getting home yesterday, I put in a hard ten hours sorting, clearing, unpacking, breaking down boxes and putting out trash. My neighbor deserted me early on and a friend who transported me and stuff and got us both lunch left after telling me I could do this over several days.

That might sound like a good idea to him but he isn't in a wheelchair that takes extra space to get around in nor does he live in a small apartment or face the obstacle course that a small space becomes in these circumstances.

Thanks to another friend who came over on the fly despite the fact she had evening plans, I was able with a little help to get a lot done in one hour. The bed, made up by my male friend was cleared off, the bathroom unpacked and the kitchen and bathroom floors swept and mopped. Empty boxes were broken down and placed in outside recycling bins. We also unpacked bagged up sheets and towels. It is amazing what two can do!

I will be washing dishes later today, Meantime, it's back to bed for a bit.

Cheers!

Enjoying his time away...

My boy is apparently very popular among the vets and nurses at his vet's office. He is eating well, talking and trilling and happy to play with a willing person while enjoying some kitty television.

Miss me much?

I meanwhile had a bit of hotel hijinx. My original reservation, made over one month ago for a hotel in my neighborhood, was changed by the manager after his contractor failed to meet a deadline for first floor renovation by my date of check-in yesterday. Happily, the whole situation was handled nicely and professionally by all involved and I had an accessible suite at another place within the hour.

This hotel is clean, quiet, well appointed and has the nicest hospitality staff I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. Though only breakfast is provided, it is ample. My lunch, dinner and homemade snacks were provided by another of my friends who insisted upon doing so gratis. Thus far, I have been fortunate in what could have been a very stressful situation. 

So far, I've had a very restful night, some time in the sun with  book, paid bills and caught up with several people by phone. Had I a swim suit, I'd try the pool. For essentially being stuck somewhere until the gaseous cloud clears at home, I'm very relaxed!
