The Furbabies Find a Home
Guess what? The cable company has stood me up!! Yep...hard to imagine, but true! I scheduled the cut off for the 30th of June. I removed the computer modem so they could pick it up and no one showed up! I called again, and they seemed pretty lacksadaisical about it, but said they WOULD be out. After a few days, of guilty pleasure watching cable I shouldn't have, I said "What the hell, I'm putting the modem back on, too!" *g* So, they could pull the plug at any moment...I'm sure they will after they realize they have my pro-rated check for cable service up to the end of June!
Today Mark and I drove to Michigan to meet Laura and her daughter Kelly. Laura is a good friend that I met online and her daughter, Kelly, is the wonderful young lady who offered to adopt my two cats.
While, I am sad to have to find homes for my cats after having them for 8 years, it was something that had to be done. After the troubles Mark has developed with his lungs, we were told my the lung specialist that they HAD to go or we'd risk further damage to Mark's lungs. Fortunately, Laura and Kelly rescued them...and me...in our hour of need. If I can influence anyone reading this...please...if you have room in your home and in your heart...adopt a mature cat or dog. They have much less chance of finding homes, and they deserve an opportunity to live in a home and to give and receive love and companionship.
As for the moving...we are moving right along! *g* We are about half finished with our final woodworking project and should be done with it by the end of this week. That will give us nearly two weeks to finish cleaning and packing up the shop. The house is all but finished, as we have only the dishes we use daily left in the cupboards, a few towels, and our clothes, which will be transferred to the RV within the next week.
Then, it's just a matter of waiting til the auction date of the 21st, making sure people removed all the items they paid for...and getting the hell out of town!
I'll post more as time...and the cable company...allows.
