Hi all,

Guess what?  I got a job bite!  So I may be taking a trip up to Culpeper soon!  There are several volunteer opportunities coming up as well so I think I will be quite busy.

I got some real progress done in my packing yesterday.  Hopefully today I will finish up a room or two.  Oh, I looked outside across the street where dump trucks have been going in and out for days now and they chopped down my favorite tree.  I call it the Klingon tree because bird of prey sun themselves on its bare branches.  My friend, so named the tree, the Klingon tree lol.  Would you believe I actually cried over that tree being gone.  I guess I was a bit emotional yesterday.

My backs almost well and I think I can do a little more exercise.  I avoided all back machines yesterday so hopefully today....well, we shall see.

Have a great day all!

Hi all,

I went and got that massage yesterday.  I am moving alot easier but still have some pain.  It is amazing how little can upset the back.  I don't know if I should try to work out or not. 

Anyway, today is work out, recycle, wash clothes and whatever else my back will allow me to do.  Sometimes I get so upset with myself.  I do things that I know I will regret later but never seem think this when doing it. Maybe I need therapy lol. 

Have a great day all.

Got a call from a hubby who is very down and out.  Housing is hard to find when you are limited in income.  It's either a dump or in a bad neighborhood.  Well, I told him to just keep looking.  I know there is a place for us out there somewhere.

Came home from the gym having done the machine I thought was causing my hip issues and yes, it is the culpret.  Now I have a sore back and can barely move.  SO, I know to avoid that machine in the future for sure. That means, today is going to be light. No heavy packing and lifting.  Maybe I will do some walking and sorting of stuff.  

I found a job in Manasses that has a house for rent which would be the pay for the job.  It's an hour away from where hubby works.  I don't think this is a good option.  I would be taking care of 45 horses.  That's a bit much at my age.  But it is a great deal for a  young family.  I also found a possible opportunity at Kelly's Ford Equestrian Center.  It doesn't start until August but it may work out.  Lots of volunteer opportunities out there as well.

Onward and upward.

Hi all,

I had one of those packing dreams last night.  I packed all night long in my sleep. ARGH!!

So, today is workout, take boxes out of car so I can fill it with recycle stuff.  Drop stuff off. Then, a packing we will go lalala.  Yup a real looney tune today. 

Well, we lost the cottage.  Someone else snatched it up.  So, we are still looking for a place to live.  Now my hubby's job is trying to figure out what shift everyone is going to work, 8, 10 or 12 hour.  It wouldn't surprise me if he was put back on second shift.  It seems this is always the case but we shall see.

Have a great day all!

Hi all,

We got a chance to hang out on Culpeper yesterday and found a few great date night places to go once moved.  We went to a park and there were live bands playing all afternoon.  We saw the cottage again and before we move, I am going to get a cleaning crew out there and do a deep clean from top to bottom.  This is a great little project house. 

Today we go up north to Fairfax.  I think hubby is going to drop the dog and me off at my cousin's house and he is going to meet his sons at Silver Diner.  Then come back to my cousin's house for a BBQ.

Tuesday is supposed to be nasty weather day and I'm not looking forward to the drive back down to NC.  Wednesday doesn't look any better.  Oh well.

I hooe  you all have a great Memorial Day!
