The Move

Tweet

You may have noticed I've been absent from myLot for a few weeks now. I can't begin to tell you how much I miss everyone and posting and reading all of the discussions here! I've recently moved and I'm currently going stir crazy as I wait for my internet and digital cable to be installed! I had absolutely no clue it would take this long or I'd have made arrangements ahead of time. It's sure been a major change for me, I can tell you that much! I had spent many years living in the home that had been my parents', caring for my mother until she passed away two years ago and then I'd remained in the home, which was now mine, since then until we could get everything taken care of. Meanwhile, my husband and I had sold our house because it was getting too difficult to maintain two households as well as help our daughter who suffers from Crohn's and is on a very limited income. Also, my mother-in-law died ten months after my mother so my husband has been staying in her apartment, which is where I am now. I love my hubby dearly and we just celebrated our 41st anniversary on Monday, but it's been quite an adjustment for both of us since we hadn't actually lived under the same roof full-time for about eighteen years! He's a total neat-freak - think Felix Unger on steroids - and I'm a pack-rat. He's turned into an "early to bed, early to rise" kind of guy and I'm, as most of you know, a night-owl extraordinaire. Throw my five kitties into the mix and you've got some major lifestyle changes to deal with...lol! All things considered, I'm doing quite well. At least, I WILL be once I get my internet, my premium movie channels and my DVR. If I didn't know it before, I certainly know now that BASIC CABLE SUCKS and I have no idea how I survived before the internet was invented; thank you, Vice President Gore...lol! One adjustment that's been kind of rough for me is that since I'm now "out in the boonies" it's not so easy to run to the store at any time of the day or night. It was nothing for me to go to my local Giant Market or Sheetz at 2 or 3 am but now I'm about a half hour away from anything other than a tiny convenience store. Actually, I'm only about ten minutes from Shickshinny, but there's not much there and nothing that's open 24 hours. Also, having take-out delivered is now out of the question since nobody delivers up here. Oh, well, I guess that's what I have my husband for, right? My internet will be installed on December 15, sometime between 9 and 5 - don't you just love the cable companies...lol? After all this time, I'm not going to complain, though. Annie
