Update, etc.

Update

Since I last wrote, my friend was transferred from the ICU at Ball Hospital in Muncie to the ICU at a hospital in Indianapolis. She's since been stepped down from ICU, had a lot of tests, and is having surgery again tomorrow.

What a nightmare. Her family is with her. They post regular updates and message me frequently.

This is so hard. Too many miles and too much going on.

The packing continues. Still have to pack clothing, a stack of things on the kitchen table, last minute bathroom and pet items, etc. 

There is a big enclosed trailer parked outside, ready to fill. Once that is done, there will be room to bring my furniture into the garage from the covered patio and the living room. 

I want to go through the liquor cabinet. Neither of us are drinkers, but we like to have some on hand for visitors and guests. Heck, I still have rum in there from the nineties. No kidding, the bottle is over half full. Guess I'll never have a drinking problem. 

The list making is worked at sporadically. I keep thinking of things. Items to pack, a note describing the decor divided by room. Another note contains ideas for the yard and gardens. Frustrating that when we went to see the house, it was fully furnished. I didn't get a good look at any part of the house. I'm going by impressions and ideas. Google map street view is an open tab on the browser, there are a total of eight views so I have a pretty good idea of spaces indoors.

I need to remove and clean the covers from all of the furniture cushions.

I went to the low vision store this afternoon. Up from 6x to 8x magnifiers for reading. A pair set me back $120. Reading is easier, but still done from six inches or less. Better is better, and that is all that matters.
