Good day, friends. I hope this finds each of you enjoying your Saturday.
.
I had a post ready to publish this morning but had to hold off. You see, it was all about showing you the gift I made for my sister's birthday
(Happy Birthday today, V!!!) but she hasn't actually received it yet, so I didn't feel right posting pictures here before she has a chance to see it.
(She and her hubby left for a weekend getaway yesterday before her mailman arrived, against my wishes to wait until the mail arrived!!!).On my plate for this weekend:
.* Going to the bank this morning to figure out what kind of copy of my account statement Carrie's home lender needs from my account even though I'm not co-signing on her loan. ugh! She put an offer on a townhome on April 23rd and was told it would close by the end of May. Then by June 11
(yes, we were supposed to move her yesterday). Now, it looks like it will be sometime next week. Poor thing. All she wants to do is move in and get settled. She has spent the past two months sleeping on the couch in our front room, living out of a plastic closet, and all of her personal belongings boxed up in our garage. The banks are so overly cautious because of all the home foreclosures over the past few years, and there is SOOOOOO much red tape to cut through before the deal closes. She's stressed and I want to fix it for her but I can't. :o(
.* Resting my shoulder in hopes that the pain will subside. Yes, four weeks of stabbing pain and restless nights that even my boss (a chiropractor) can't seem to fix. I'm probably going to have to go to the doctor this week (which I HATE doing).
.* Tidying up my craft space. If I can't craft (because of my stupid shoulder) I might as well get organized.
.* Feeling sentimental about
Carrie moving into her very own home...really leaving the nest for good.
.* Deep breathing and trying to be light hearted in the midst of everything...
Carrie:
"What's wrong, Mom-friend?"
Me:
"I don't know...I've been in kind of a funk lately..."
Carrie [rolling her eyes]:
"Dude. You do this every time I move out."
Me:
"Well, quit moving out!"
