SherryeB's Journal, 30 Oct 20

My daughter & granddaughter left this afternoon to fly home to Dallas. I came over from the airport to my sister's home to help her & my niece pack. We're making a lot of progress. We'll pack more tomorrow, then we're all headed back north on Sunday. My sister & I are coming back here early next week for more packing. I'll stay with her til she's ready to go back to her daughter's this next week. She's doing a lot better but doesn't want to be in the house alone.
We had a good visit tonight after we finished for the day.

Hubby is home with the dogs. We still have no power & our land line phone is down. Our cell service had gone out yesterday as well but came back on tonight. No power at our house also means no water since our well pump won't run 😐 It's also getting colder. Hubby sounded in good spirits, though when we talked.

I didn't track my food yesterday. We ate lunch at my niece's after her Dad's funeral. Lot's of good food all contributed by her group of close friends. Then last night at home we heated leftover wings & fries wrapped in foil on the barbecue for dinner. I also had wine & cookies...several cookies. Today I have been better...our normal breakfast, some peanut butter crackers this afternoon, then a chicken salad from Shane's Barbecue for dinner. No wine tonight.

No scale, so I won't be weighing in til I get back home. I am working though...getting lots of steps in carrying all the items we're packing to the table we're using as a surface to pack from other areas of the house.

Time for bed...I'll read a few minutes then get some sleep 💤 😴

Such a busy, stressful time and again to not have power- WOW! I think (though I have never lost a spouse) that it would be so much tougher after everyone goes home and there is just the quiet- so I understand the not wanting to be in the house alone. Did you say that they were already selling the house or did she abruptly decide she needed to leave? Either way- it is like life's most stressful events all compounded into one. Hope you were able to sleep well.

DP, my sister recently took a different job within her company (the last couple of weeks). The job she was doing was moved out of state & she is so well regarded her boss found another position for her. The location is closer to where her daughters live. So they were happy to relocate. They got a contract on their home & had put a contract on a new home. She has decided she wants to live in the town where her older daughter & grandchildren live. That is where they raised their girls & they lived til 3 years ago. (Moved for work). She canceled the contract on the new home they were planning to move into.

She & my brother in law had planned to move back to where she is going in the next 5 years. For now she is going to be with her younger daughter & her husband. Both of the girls live close to me (45 minutes). Thankfully, we have power here at my sister's house. My neice (where she will be staying) had lost power but it was restored today. Confusing, I know. This niece is here at my sisters with us this weekend.
