Not feeling well

Yesterday, I had a tooth pulled and got a flu shot. Today, I have fever, chills and pain. Thank goodness for hydrocodone. I'm living on Wendy's frosties at the moment, laying on the sofa, and working on my packing list.

I wish we would have taken photos of the new house. Then , I would be able to project them on the tv and see how best to place furniture and decorate. Now, I won't see the house again until moving day. 

I remember that there is a lot of storage, walk-in closets. Cabinets up to the ceiling in the kitchen. A laundry room that is large and bright. The mud room with big windows that my plants will adore.

I think that it is pretty. Sure hope so. Then again, I cannot tell by looking. The world is so heavily airbrushed when I look at it. I cannot see grime or dirt without magnification. I don't see litter, not enough sight. To me, everything looks wonderful....

There will be some minor remodeling to do. The Mudroom and kitchen floors come to mind first. The bathtub needs to be repointed, faucets need updating, as does the shower-head. Cabinets all could use some new hardware. The yard could use major attention, mainly shrubs and flower beds.

I'd like to replace the door and window screens with lace panels. I did that at my former home and it was darling. I have vintage linens that will make ideal curtains for the kitchen and laundry room. 

I dread this move. It's overwhelming me. There is so much to do. Not seeing details is making it so hard. I miss sight. 

I just want to get this over with. The sooner it's done, the faster I'll be able to learn where everything is, and to find my way around.

I ordered a reel lawn mower today. It's the old fashioned kind with no motor, you just push it along. My old one disappeared a couple of moves ago, and I sure missed it. Now, I'll be able to take care of my new, small yard. Better, since it's a house on an intersection, I'll be able to hear cars coming.

Still having major fever and chills. I'm wearing a huge fleece blanket over my jammies, snuggled up with a pile of pillows. Antibiotics, pain pills, constantly sipping water to stay hydrated. 

Enough for now....
