The Plan For December
So, here is my plan for December.
We are getting the keys tomorrow. For the savvy readers, you will be thinking 'but I thought you were supposed to have gotten the keys yesterday?' This is true. We were supposed have gotten the keys to our house yesterday, but there are delays - annoying delays - on the behalf of the sellers and our keys won't get to us until tomorrow. We personally think that it is VERY ironic that everyone in this Real Estate deal was worried about us (being flaky actor types, I guess. Grrrrrrrr) getting our mortgage docs in on time. In the end, it is the NON-ACTOR types that are screwing up their time management and organizational awareness. HA, I say to the world. HA!!
Tomorrow, the keys and much little errands around the house. We shoveled the walk yesterday (my legs are still numb) and now we need to calk the cracks and seal the windows and regulate the heat and move the couple of bags of stuff we do have into the house. Tuesday we leave for Vancouver, stopping first in Calgary and then in Kamloops to see Beauty and the Beast. Home on Thursday and dedicated until Sunday to sorting out the lives that we have left waiting for us. I doubt my packing will take long since most closets and drawers are empty from the subletting. Possibly I will show some prospective renters my place in those couple of days and attempt to get #206 into the hands of a deserving soul. Sunday we go to Leon's father's house on the Sunshine Coast. I have never met Dad. Makes me nervous, but I think Leon is pretty insistent that his father meet me before there is a proposal. He is so old fashioned is so many ways.
Tuesday morning we ferry to the main Island for the prep for my IUD surgery. I am doing it in Duncan since it was there that I discovered my gentle and lovely gynocologist Dr.Beaudet. Tuesday night and Wednesday morning we are going to Victoria to stay with friends and Thursday I will have the IUD placed (Goodbye Condoms;-). Scariest part is that I am going under General Anesthetic, so there will be needles. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mom has armed me with some Emla to use previous to going to the hospital and I am just hoping to all hope that Leon can come into the room with me. ANYWAY, Thursday night I will return to Vancouver successfully neutered.
I then have three full days to make sure I am ready for the movers who come on the 17th. In that time I may try to have a party and am choreographing a Dreamgirls-type troupe of ladies in what will be my very empty living room. God forbid I have two seconds of doing nothing. After the movers take everything on the 17th, life will get slightly less stressful. Leon and I will hang for a few more days in my empty apartment and prep for Christmas Day. We will spend the actual holidays with L's family and take off back for Moose Jaw on the 27th or 28th. When we get to our new home, it will be filled with our stuff and much of my family will be in town which will make for a needed balance of moving in and family visits.
Eventually, this roller coaster will stop. Unemployed and finally left alone by family, it will be just us and the house. This is the day that keeps me going. This is the goal that gives me energy to get to that place.
This, good sex and lots of chocolate.
