I was sharing yesterday about my four years in Italy in which I didn't work and the other person said she couldn't do that, she would be so bored. Perhaps I am an oddity but those four years, and honestly my entire life, I can't recall ever being bored. I have been unsatisfied at times … Continue reading Never Bored

What do you mean it's not all about me?
I'm goofy, I'm geeky, I'm a bit emo, I'm living in Italy!
November intentions
October is behind us and what a month it was! Many thing accomplished with the move and settling in but not much happened smoothly. Just want to move forward now that we have crossed over to November. What I would like to accomplish this month: Computer fix must happen, or replacement. I'm done waiting, ABS … Continue reading November intentions
First 3 weeks
New rental, new job, new town. We relocated three weeks ago and just about everything has had issues, it's exhausting. Very few things went smoothly but I am thankful that nothing has been catastrophic. We have moved every 3 or 4 years together since 2003 with very few issues so I guess it was time … Continue reading First 3 weeks
The Pack-out Saga Continues
The second day of packout was set for Monday but by 2:30 pm they had not shown up, called or texted. The parent company had texted in the morning confirming it though. So, we made some calls and were told they were scheduled to be here Tuesday not Monday. Isn't that just swell. A whole … Continue reading The Pack-out Saga Continues
The Pack-Out Saga
We set the alarm for 5 am to sort ourselves out before the anticipated 8 am arrival of the packers. In all of our previous moves they showed up first thing in the morning. At 9 am we were getting antsy, they still hadn't showed, called or emailed. Then the husband got a text: packing … Continue reading The Pack-Out Saga
Life Note on Preparing to Move
Nothing is quite working out the way we thought but it's still working out. 🙂 I am thankful and hopeful for what we have experienced and for what is coming our way.
Countdown Begins
We have entered the countdown stage. Three weeks until the husband starts a month of mostly vacation time which mostly will consist of packing, sorting, donating, then terminal leave kicks in. Then retirement commences. Still no idea where we will be moving to or when but it will be before Oct. I remain forever flexible … Continue reading Countdown Begins
Roadtripping
This may be controversial but we discussed, analyzed and decided to take a road trip in April to visit family that we haven't seen much of after returning to the U.S. and then pandemic and a trip cut short last year. Starting in San Diego, we drove to Flagstaff, AZ and drove Route 66 over … Continue reading Roadtripping
On A Positive Note
A little retail therapy this week produced a string of lighted clips that are displaying my bookmarks much better than the string and tape throw together I had them on previously. I have bookmarks from most of the places we traveled to while living in Europe - and one from Japan. I will organize this … Continue reading On A Positive Note
The Hits Keep On Coming
March has been a roller coaster. Enjoyed a nice weekend earlier in the month for our 9 year wedding anniversary and were able to see some family which was lovely. And then my best friend since 1986 died from no known causes. We have to wait for toxicology to come back to determine, hopefully, what … Continue reading The Hits Keep On Coming
